129. I know that in this case, you were being deliberately vague.

Lots of scientists believe in god.

Lots don't.

An expert can be fully informed about his or her own field, but when they begin to speak in an area other than their expertise, they are an ordinary person with an opinion no more or less valid than anyone else's.

Unless you think that argumentum ad populum and the appeal to authority are valid debate tactics?
