Not in the slightest. Just because a man goes around looking at fossils, does not mean he is more qualified then anyone else is. If he started as a regular physician, a doctor, then he is not more qualified then an archaeologist, or paleontologist, or a biologist in talking about evolution. What you are doing is committing the fallacy of appealing to authority.
You are implying that someone who teach mathematics for 20 years is not qualified to teach a 7-year-old at junior school.
If Dr Werner is not qualified after 30 years of study evolution and examining fossils, then most people here would not be qualified to even comment on evolution, given their laymen level of knowledge in evolution. Being a layman myself, I read about evolution but cannot say I know much -- and I believe that many in this forum are similar. How do you understand deep technical stuff, how do you discern correct information from wrong ones if you are not a professional? At best, we can only rely on the views of people that have delved into evolution.
