Are there scientists alive today who accept the biblical account of creation?

Question

I found some. What do you think?

Can you give me a link to a list of them who believe in evolution that is this impressive?

If not, why?

Answer 1

There are probably scientists who believe in Tinkerbell, too.

Answer 2

Yes there are, you already provided a link to a list.

However if you think that's impressive you're sorely mistaken. The scientific community consists of several million people. There are thousands of notable scientists yet the ones that believe in Young Earth Creationism only run into about 100 and can fit on a single page. I'm afraid you've fallen victim to AiG's propaganda engine.

Answer 3

Well I've gotta tell you, as a paleontologist, I clicked on the name of a paleontologist there and his blurb contained a bunch of basic misinformation - indicative of his professional 'honesty', or his 'knowledge', I don't know.

There are thousands and thousands of scientists. That a hundred or so have faith in "the biblical account of creation" (which, I assume, arrogantly refers to the interpretation that the Earth is 6000 years old etc) is fairly meaningless.

But yes, I can give you a list that is more impressive. Project Steve - only open to PhD scientists with the first name of Steve (after the late Stephen Jay Gould). So far there are over 700 who have signed this statement:

"Evolution is a vital, well-supported, unifying principle of the biological sciences, and the scientific evidence is overwhelmingly in favor of the idea that all living things share a common ancestry. Although there are legitimate debates about the patterns and processes of evolution, there is no serious scientific doubt that evolution occurred or that natural selection is a major mechanism in its occurrence. It is scientifically inappropriate and pedagogically irresponsible for creationist pseudoscience, including but not limited to "intelligent design," to be introduced into the science curricula of our nation's public schools."

Answer 4

in this "innovations age", you may honestly do the learn and then very very nearly honestly come decrease back with a clean question saying some thing to the effect of "only x% of genuine scientists help biblical advent concept". of direction, you will would desire to of course define what you advise by employing "biblical advent concept" so there's no confusion on your question. seems such as you only p.c. somebody else to do what you will desire to be able to doing. only to offer you the possibility to reject the checklist for despite reason you pull out of the air. Do R&S a prefer and furnish US with an in intensity checklist of those professional-creationism scientists alongside with their skills, papers, etc. Eagerly anticipating your learn effects. short answer: i might prefer YOU doing the paintings.

Answer 5

There is no use to make a list of scientists who are convinced in evolution as that are just all the others who are not on your list. And that are clearly too many to be put in a list.

Answer 6

Here's a shorter list that's far more impressive than your list of most of the scientists who do not believe in evolution.

Answer 7

In the most recent poll that I am aware of over 99% of earth and life scientists supported the theory of evolution.

Evidence in support of evolution continues to grow and the newest evidence of the past year is discussed in the second link.

Answer 8

Evolution is so widely accepted that we do not need a website of all the scientists who believe in it, it would be a waste of time due to all the names we'd have to put on there. The fact that the amount of scientists who believe in creation over evolution can be put down into a single website just proves that you are in the minority. Whether or not evolution is fully proved, there is a lot more scientific evidence pointing to it than to a god.

Answer 9

I can give you an equivalent list of them that have the name Steve:

The lesson? Scientist lists for ID = Getting desperate for attention.

EDIT: The exact list is here:

Also, for the person above... Have you heard of Early World RNA Hypothesis? How about PNA? I doubt it... less time blindly accepting and a little more time investigating is necessary.

Answer 10

Since the Discovery Institute launched a list of names of scientists who were skeptical of the Darwinian Theory,over 600 scientists have signed it.

This is in response to timeponderers statement about the 10,000 clergy who believe in evolution. Check out this website:

http://wwwintellectualconservative.com/2006/seed-magazine-writes-about-the-clergy-letter-project/

The Clergy Letter just proves that they are letting science interfere with their beliefs. In other words,they are compromising their beliefs and conforming them to fit with evolution,and therefore calling God a liar.

Answer 11

If anyone accepts the biblical account of creation, and calls themselves a scientist, then they are deluded. There are no true scientists today who accept fictional accounts of creation as fact ( and make no mistake, the bible tells a fictional tale of creation).

So, the short answer is no.
