If the Church said there are no theological grounds to object to a specific theory, how would it be modernism to say that?
In another case, if some theory had no theological consequences, would there by any theological grounds to oppose it?

That's not even close to what the Modernist said.  He did not say that there were no theological grounds to oppose a particular theory.  He said that we cannot argue against science with theology, nay, more, that the Church tells us this.

His masters degree is in "Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Science". To me, that sounds like mostly computer science, and probably only the basic science expected of an engineer. And his philosophy and theology training was at an SSPX seminary. So his credentials are not great.

That said, do any of those criticizing him here have better credentials in science, philosophy or theology?

I wouldn't criticize him on account of the degree.  In fact, the higher the degree, the more likely it is that they've sold out.

Dr Sungenis does.

Agree.  Just 4-year college engineering stuff.

I asked if any of those criticizing him here have better credentials. Sungenis is not participating here, correct? (And to the best of my knowledge, Sungenis has no science credentials.)

Says the person who is ABD? Are you saying that studying a topic for several years, having your work peer reviewed by several experts, gives a person less expertise?

My ABD was in Greek and Latin.  Not much "selling out" required there.  Same holds of Computer Science.  I was saying that, in my book, I consider it better that he does NOT have a degree in science.  Those with degrees in science have often sold out.    So you took my comment the complete opposite of what I intended.  I considered his lack of science degree a plus.
