I've seen some Christians make the comment that being a Jesus-Myther is about as respectable as believing in Young Earth Creationism. I'm not a YEC, but I put together these two lists for fun recently.
Here's a selection of YEC Biologists, all of whom have doctoral degrees:
The recently deceased Norman Nevin, former emeritus professor of medical genetics at Queen's University in Belfast, author and co-author of 300 peer reviewed articles, former Head of the Northern Regional Genetics Service and president of president of the UK Clinical Genetics Society, awarded an OBE for Services to Gene Therapy Research.

Here's a list of the only Jesus Mythers with a doctoral degree in a relevant field:
Richard Carrier, who seems to have spent virtually his entire career and intellectual efforts thus far as an activist for atheism.
Robert M Price, whose publications seem to be largely to confined to popular magazines and a journal he co-founded.
