How do you determine which is the most accomplished author?

  Number of citations, book sales, number of links on the web, awards, use of their work in curricula? Probably a thousand other less obvious ways to determine this too.

    The bible, Koran, and many other religious text are among the best selling and most read books in all of human history. Should their perspective be giving high weight when you ask how the earth formed?

    How do you determine the quality of the citations? How do you determine the quality of the books? How do you determine the quality of the awards? How do you determine the quality of links on the web? This is not "simple" in the slightest, you are just swiping all the complexity under the rug

      Anything would be better than copy pasting your own biases, if you're really unsure of the providence of the authors then just provide a bigger list.
