Could somebody provide me with a detailed list of (real) scientists who support biblical creation theory ?

Question

So many christians claim that scientists are "en masse" rejecting evolution as false and are now accepting the biblical account of things.

The problem is that they never actually name any of these scientists.

I would be grateful if somebody would provide me with a detailed list of these pro - creationism scientists along with their qualifications, papers etc.

And NO, tax dodger Kent Hovind does not count ! Only real scientists please .

Answer 1

I will start you off with one... there are plenty. The rest are out there... recommend Michael Behe's books; William Dembski is another. And I have a lot of quotes from others in an article I wrote a few years ago.


"The sphere of religion belongs the faith that the regulations valid for the world of existence are rational, that it is comprehensible to reason. I can not conceive of a genuine scientist without that profound faith. The situation may be expressed by an image; science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind."

Answer 2

In this "information age", YOU can certainly do the research and then almost certainly come back with a NEW question saying something to the effect of "only x% of REAL scientists support biblical creation theory". Of course, you'd have to clearly define what you mean by "biblical creation theory" so there's no confusion in your question. Sounds like you just want someone else to do what you should be capable of doing. Just to provide YOU with the opportunity to reject the list for whatever reason you pull out of the air. Do R&S a favor and provide US with a detailed list of these pro-creationism scientists along with their qualifications, papers, etc. Eagerly awaiting your research results. Short answer: I'd prefer YOU doing the work.

Answer 3

Sorry, but details take too long to find...the only answer I can give you is this:

Space scientists: Columbia Commander Rick Husband.
Before each space flight, NASA astronauts fill out a "last request" form. He included a special note for his pastor: "Tell them about Jesus. He's real to me." Part of the story of the tragic destruction of the Columbia is that two of its crew, Rick Husband and Payload Commander Michael Anderson, along with "many space scientists" (whom they did not name), attended Grace Community Church in Houston, located near the Johnson Space Center (maybe that's where you can get the names). These men and women , along with others around the USS, are top notch scientists who place their trust in the living God. Rick De Vera, a former NASA engineer, put it this way: "Faith filled the gap (for Rick and Michael) when science had no answers."

"The more the true scientists discovers about the intricacies of how God put everything together, the more they have to admit that creation did not happen by chance."

GBU!

Hey Time ponderer!
You said, "99.9% of scientists working in the relevant fields support evolution. That tells you something. "
Well, this does not tell us that evolution is the only reality. Just because some "well accepted" scientific theories stand in stark contrast to the biblical account of Creation, the Bible must be only a collection of myths. The flaw in this theory is that NO SCIENTIFIC THEORY CAN EVER BE 100% VERIFIED. Theories are based on a limited number of incomplete observations. A theory is never a "fact" and in the end can only explain how something MIGHT have happened - not how it DID happen. Science, by design cannot make observations about the supernatural and, therefore, PRE-SUPPOSES that natural causes are the ultimate end. This does not mean that the supernatural is non-exixtent. Science can never reach the "bottom" of the physical world or arrive at a perfect "Theory of Everything".
John1:3-5 and Collosians 1:16-17 states that "...in Him (God) ALL THINGS HOLD TOGETHER". THIS tells us that "scientific laws" are not laws at all. They are simply the wonderful consistency of God's transcendent hand holding our created physical reality together.

God bless you also!

Answer 4

Yes. It is possible to provide such a list.
If you want to find out more about what is going on in that area, get the DVD "Unlocking the Keys of Creation" where a number of scientists were called to a meeting about the problems with evolution. Michael Behe and Kenyon plus a number of others were at this meeting and their talks are on that video. It is an interesting one to view.
The ones that I can think of off the top of my head are:
Gary Parker
Henry Morris
Duane Gish
Ross (astronomer)
Owen Gingrich (astronomer)
members of the Christian Scientific Affiliation

Answer 5

Far out, to the person above, a scientist being a Christian doesn't make them a Creationist. There are many many Christiam and Muslim scientists.

"Of the scientists and engineers in the United States, only about 5% are creationists, according to a 1991 Gallup poll (Robinson 1995, Witham 1997). However, this number includes those working in fields not related to life origins (such as computer scientists, mechanical engineers, etc.). Taking into account only those working in the relevant fields of earth and life sciences, there are about 480,000 scientists, but only about 700 believe in "creation-science" or consider it a valid theory (Robinson 1995). This means that less than 0.15 percent of relevant scientists believe in creationism. And that is just in the United States, which has more creationists than any other industrialized country. In other countries, the number of relevant scientists who accept creationism drops to less than one tenth of 1 percent."

99.9% of scientists working in the relevant fields support evolution. That tells you something.

Answer 6

Im sure a google search of 'famous scientists biblical creation theory' would turn up some results.

Although I find it kind of funny that some Christian sites claimed Albert Einstein was a Christian, heh, they even had some fake quotes to go along with it. As we all know, Albert Einstein was an atheist.

Albert Einstein was an atheist, if I find the link to the Christian site with the propaganda and lies I will show you it.

Answer 7

You forgot to list Michael Behe in that list with Hovind

Answer 8

Scientist and creationist are contradictions in terms.
If they support creationism then they are NOT true scientist, they only call themselves that to get a job.
