Why are all ID-supporting "scientists" religious fundamentalists? Evolution.?

Question

I'm doing research on "scientists" who support intelligent design. However, all of these "scientists" turned out to also be evangelicals/religious fundamentalists. Or, they happened to be on the payroll of "Discovery Institute," which is a creationist think-tank. (No relation to the Discovery Channel)


My question is, are there any ID-supporting scientist who is NOT affiliated with a fundamentalist religious group?

Answer 1

There are zero. You'll also fnd that most of them who cliam to have an advanced degree are working well outside the field the degree is in. Some, like Kent Hovind (Dr. Dino) even go as far as getting PhD's from places like the Patriot University, which was located in somebody's house and basically allow you to outright purchase a degree. Most of the publications presenting articles in support of Creationism are funded directly by a church, but usually it is attempted to hide the fact by having several subsidiaries so the church's name is not actually on the publication. Most of these publications have a wriiten requirement that all articles must be from the point of view that the Bible is litterally true.

on the other hand, scientists working on evolution come from every different religion there is. Even the well known paleontologist Bob Bakker is also an ordained Pentecostal preacher.

Answer 2

Well I don't think Einstein was a Fundamentalist. He didn't have a personal God, but he wasn't in favor of the randomistic views and felt that the Universe has a spirit, an intellegence, if you will, a life and even maybe a mind.

Father Georges-Henri Lemaître, who postulated what we know as the Big Bang Theory was a Catholic Priest, hardly a Fundamentalist. He was also a physicst and postulated elements of the Big Bang that were scientific and eventually found.

I feel fairly confident He believes in Creation.

Answer 3

Most Christians are happy with science and evolution. It is the minority Old Testament Fundamentalists who have a problem with it. They are not prepared to accept anything that disagrees with their fairy stories. They even turn themselves inside out explaining why paradoxes, inconsistencies and errors within the Bible are not so. Ignore the fundies, go with the Christians and accept that science does a good job and knows what it is talking about much of the time.

Answer 4

No there are all religious fundies. Because they only way an educated scientist in a relevant field can hold to a belief in ID is if they have the blinkers firmly on, blinding them to the incredibly vast evidence for evolution. Otherwise, with a half-open mind, evolution is obvious.

Answer 5

a million.) Species exchange over the years. this may well be a actuality supported by potential of distinctive medical disciplines and a mountain of organic and organic and geological info. 2.) What motives species to alter over the years? this is the belief of natrual decision. it fairly is the proper way we at the instant might desire to describe our observations of the organic international. right here is HOW "EVOLUTIONISTS" selection FROM FUNDAMENTALISTS: I stated that the belief of organic decision is the concept that, as of proper now, proper explains the information. it would desire to ensue that new documents comes alongside that thoroughly blows organic decision out of the water. might desire to that ensue, biologists will might desire to come again up with a sparkling concept that takes the recent, contradictory documents into attention. technology, in a be conscious, is adaptable. it fairly is not dogmatic. It admits exchange. Fundamentalists, on the different hand, will have self assurance what they have self assurance in spite of any info to the different.

Answer 6

Most likely not. There was even a scandel where a Pastor Moon or something like that was caught sending young men from his church to school to become scientists that would support Creationism.

Answer 7

I just put a needle in a haystack. Though normally I don't like to bet, this time I'm not afraid to bet that you'll probably find the haystack and the needle first, without having any directions, than that you can find a non-religious ID-priest.

Answer 8

That's the beauty of theory's, there are no facts only conjecture.
You may find ther are people who do believe in ID, and as ther research more they find it points to only one & that is where they become Christians, sort of like it's hard to ignore the nose on the front of your face!

Answer 9

Interesting, isnt it? they are all Doctors of Philosophy, theologic philosophy, etc. None are Doctors of Geology, Anthropology, Biology, Chemistry, Physics or any other "real" science...

What does that tell you of ID-iots? (

Answer 10

http://www.rae.org/index.html This is just one of several lists that I've come across. Not every name here will "wow" you, but many will. The credentials of a number of these scientists-(no quotes needed)-are impressive. Molecules to man-on the face of it-is totally absurd.
