The word 'expert' should never be used except in scare quotes.

There are no 'experts' in life - specialists in certain defined fields might, I emphasize 'might,' have more arcane knowledge, but they deal in the material and don't know or care about the soul.

Anyway, most of the fields in which the credentialists claim 'expertise' are largely if not wholly intellectually fraudulent.

N.B. I am not talking about the physical sciences here, although knowledge claims there must always be taken as contingent as well

Well said, yet a new dawn inevitably follows every plunge into darkness. It may not be on a schedule that we find agreeable, and the daylight probably won’t be the exact hue we wish, but it will certainly be glorious when compared to the preceding night.
