What is amusing is that Matzke has managed to convince so many people that he is some kind of expert on evolutionary biology. Let’s look at the facts:

1. As of his own last notice here, he had not yet finished his Ph.D. in the subject. If he has finished it since, it’s only very recently.

2. As far as I know, his publication record (peer-reviewed scientific articles, not nasty reviews of ID books) is rather scanty. Years ago he was co-author on an article about the flagellum. I haven’t heard of any peer-reviewed articles since. Maybe he has them, but I don’t know what they are.

3. Matzke spends an inordinate amount of time blogging and fighting culture wars. No scientist with a serious research program has time to do this.

...


Some sock at UD ought to clue him in that Matzke has coauthored 3 peer-reviewed articles in 2012 (including one in Nature and one in PNAS) and 4 in 2011 (one of them in Nature). Not bad for a grad student! And at any rate, his 2011-2013 publication record is way better than that of M. J. Behe or of any other creationist type.

As a self-described academic, Timaeus could have easily found this out on his own through Web of Science. Or he could have looked up Matzke on Google Scholar.

No wonder they can't find the designer...
