Take Darwin for example, he was a nut-case who lost his mind at sea. He only had an MA in Theology in which he somehow floated through, since Darwin knew nothing about the Bible!! So if Darwin could not understand his own degree in Theology, how then, could he ever understand the field of Biology that he was not trained in?

Sure, and you also need a degree in archaeology to be a good chemist, and a degree in anglo saxon, norse and celtic to be a good engineer. And how ever did people like Newton invent differentiation without a degree in calculus?
"So if Darwin could not understand his own degree in Theology, how then, could he ever understand the field of Biology that he was not trained in?"
So what? Even if this bullshit was correct or relevant, it doesn't make the theory any less sound. Even an idiot can say something profound at least once in his life, although I fear that you may be the exception.
1. Darwin certainly did not lose his mind at sea, or ever -- such an assertion is an outright lie.
The thing is in Darwin's time it was more than normal for theologians to go out and discover "God's natural world" He was not the first theology major who studied biology, nor was he the last.
"Take Darwin for example, he was a nut-case who lost his mind at sea."That is an utter falsehood. Some knight you are. Lying for Christianity is still lying. You should be ashamed. Remember that "Thou shalt not bear false witness" thing. That's in the Bible, you know.
"He only had an MA in Theology in which he somehow floated through, since Darwin knew nothing about the Bible!!"
OK, he had an MA in theology, that's undoubtably more theological education than YOU have.
You have no knowledge as to whether or not Darwin "floated through," nor how much knowledge he had about the Bible.
"So if Darwin could not understand his own degree in Theology,"
Don't use that as a premise for any further statement as you have not established that as being true. I have not seen nor heard any evidence that supports any of your assertions.
"how then, could he ever understand the field of Biology that he was not trained in?"
Some of us have learned to read, to listen, to think for ourselves and, most important, to discern the reliable sources of information from the specious.
Well, he had a MA in theology, and didn´t study the Bible?, did he get it in teletubbyland, according to you?
What do you mean, "didn't understand biology"? He was one of the principal people that FOUNDED the science of biology. In his lifetime, nobody had degrees in "biology". They called it natural history, and they went around collecting butterflies and birds' eggs. And they learned what they did know by reading books. And he didn't lose his mind; he had a tropical fever, which isn't the same thing.
You should try that "reading" thing some time.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
