I have questions about her PHD. How long was the essay? Is she the first person to write about paleontology? Did she A) Demonstrate mastery of the world's current geologic knowledge and then B) Demonstrate knowledge that would establish a new discipline that revolutionizes the field? Was there a presentation? Did she answer questions from a panel of experts? Is this a high school for 15-18-year-olds, or is it a college? Is the Church mad? Will the country use her research to discover and extract petroleum, leading to an industrial revolution, then global climate collapse in 250 years?
