Has any 'evolutionist' ever converted to creationism?

Question

or is that like moving back in to your mother's womb?

Answer 1

Not without a skull-crushing blow to the head.

Answer 2

I did some research recently and found that creationists are trying to pass creation off as a science. They have no facts or data to back them up. At least nothing I could find in the 5 or 6 hours I spend on it. They make some pretty persuasive arguments, but again they don't back them up with verifiable facts. I have to imagine that only a person with a passing knowledge of evolution would convert to creationism.

Answer 3

Nobody in their right mind would do that. I hope not anyway. Why would someone reject something for which there is abundant scientific evidence of (evolution) for a convoluted fairy tale for which there is no evidence? To do so is called "reverting." So, yes, I suppose it would be like moving back into your mother's womb.

Answer 4

There are probably a few like there are a few atheist that have converted.

Of course, we need to know what branch of science they are in and why they decided to "convert". I can not see anyone who has at least a casual knowledge of the evidence, switching to creationism.

Answer 5

Yes, I used to be a harcore atheist and evolutionist for 20 years before I became a Christian and a young-Earth creationist. I actually became a Christian before I became a creationist; for a while there I thought that there was just too much evidence to support evolution; I thought, "How could it not be true?" I tried to fuse God with evolution, but it just wouldn't work. It created more problems than it solved. I was not satisfied. Then I confronted my pastor one day with the problem of evolution, showing him a book I had about Bonobos (pygmy chimpanzees) that showed remarkably human-looking skeletal structures. He then handed me a CD-Rom that contained a 15-hour series of seminars on Creation Science. I put it on my computer and watched it. I was totally blown away by the information presented! I was so fascinated I watched it over and over again to get the details. I thought, "why don't they teach this stuff in public schools?? They need to!" And then I was angry at the public schools for brainwashing me all those years. I have read several other books on creation science as well, and they are all scientifically accurate and contain thousands of scientific facts that completely destroy the theory of evolution. So I dropped evolution like the proverbial "hot potato" and have never gone back. I am even interested in teaching creation science at a local community college.

Answer 6

Actually, there's plenty of physical and natural scientists ("evolutionists") who have abandoned Darwinian mumbo-jumbo (e.g., it takes more "faith" to believe you came from primordial soup-to-fish-to-reptile-to-mammal-to-ape-to-human than it does to acknowledge you came from an original set of full-blown, modern Homo sapiens sapiens in a lush, tropical setting) but none of the establishment schools of science will humor them, and thus neither will most mainstream news media outlets. The most recent I've heard of was Dr. DeRosa in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida who is campaigning to open up more creationist museums and exhibits in Christian churches and communities. Another famous example was molecular biologist, Dr. Periannan Senapathy of Madison, Wisconsin, who published in the Genome Press back in 1994, his findings which refute natural selection-evolution scheme as utilized to explain speciazation. Also one of the best personages to represent the notion of the failure of Darwinian evolutionism is Mr. Adnan Oktar, a premiere Turkish materialist observer and researcher; a documentary which features his and other scientists' ideas on "The Collapse of Darwinism" was made available by National Geographic.

There are plenty more certified and knowledgeable scientists out there who have abandoned evolutionist models and Darwinian thought after recognizing the complexity and wonder involved in life in the natural world. But I highly doubt many people here, mainly self-proclaimed "atheists", are truly seeking answers; they remind me of those kids in school who just want to get a wise-crack or two in, not really looking for any wisdom or "truth" as they might call it. Just a bunch of immature, irresponsible, and self-absorbed nitwits.

Answer 7

Who says the two are mutually exclusive? I personally believe in intelligent design. In fact I believe that the designer was so intelligent that he built evolution right into it.

Answer 8

famous atheist Antony flew did.

thousands have.

Belief in a personal God that answers prayer represents 45% of ALL scientists . That is a statistical fact, backed up yearly by a gallop poll that has been issued on random scientists in the US for the last 25 years.

Answer 9

I believe my brother very well may have. He used to be a good catholic boy (Catholics believe in evolution albeit divinely guided) but now he is a Fundie.

Answer 10

Yes there has been a evolutionist Scientist that became a Christian and turned his back on evolution.

Answer 11

there have been cases of geniuses getting brain damage due to a car accident, so anything is possible

EDIT

Where did you read that Antony Flew no longer believes in evolution??
