Dr. Neal Krawetz of Bad Science has taken “Dr. Ron Polarik” to task over claims that President-Elect Barack Obama’s birth certificate is a fake.  This is the second time these claims have been debunked on the site.

Mr. Polarik has claimed many times that he has a degree in this, that or the other thing.  It seems that his phD is in whatever he is talking about at the time, which leads to a massive problem of credibility aside from the obvious lack of understanding of digital images that Bad Science has pointed out.

This, of course, will not prove that the document is authentic.  All this does is verify that the digital image we have all seen is authentic and that it is highly likely that Mr. Polarik has tampered with the image to suit his needs.
