yes, I am serious and so are many very reputable scientists. I think you are a bit confused but don't realize it. And your numbers of scientists who believe toe are very dubious; you simply don't know that. It makes your side sound more reputable though. Here's a list of of doctorate scientists who are creationists. There are so many others that aren't on any list. I think if you were able to poll all of the worlds scientists the numbers would be startling as to the numbers who don't believe toe. The facts simply don't support it. It sounds to me like you have a negative outlook towards a possible God and that's driving your intellect. I'm not saying that I am at peace with Him...I am not but the evidence does point to Him.http://www.icr.org/research/index/research_biosci/

How are the numbers dubious? Gallup is a respected organization known for their accurate surveys.

"Here's a list of of doctorate scientists who are creationists."

A title doesn't change the arguments they've made. Considering how many scientists *are* Ph.Ds, I don't think that a doctorate is as impressive in academia.

"The facts simply don't support it. It sounds to me like you have a negative outlook towards a possible God and that's driving your intellect."

The facts do support it:

- Identical ERV insertions in multiple identical sites in humans and chimps
- Confirmed prediction of chromosomal fusion in #2 chromosome of humans
- Confirmed prediction of oxygen isotope type in Rodhocetus and cetacean fossils matching with istope types in living dolphin and whale descendants
- Confirmed observances of speciation throughout the world
- 98% identical match in genome in chimps and humans...

And the list goes on. What creationists do however to "refute" that is the same tactic conspiracy theorists use - dazzle and distrsct you with reams of text.

"a negative outlook towards a possible God and that's driving your intellect."

You know what's funny? I think denying that God worked through evolution is worse than saying that he didn't. You know why? Otherwise, you construe him to be unintelligent for making 98.5% of our entire 3.2 billion nucleotide base genome consist of noncoding DNA, pseudogenes, and ERVs.

I'd rather think that God is creative; not your typical everyday god who poofs things into existence.

Means nothing.

Religion, be it creationism or Islam, can override other considerations. In this case, religious belief overrides scientific training and methods; creation science ceases to be science because it ignores the scientific method.

Science follows the data wherever they lead; creation science distorts the data to reach a preconceived answer (and to confirm revelation, scripture, etc.).

Example: the global flood. That idea was abandoned by geologists decades before Darwin (and they were all creationists at that time). But you still see creationist websites going to all manner of distortions of science in futile efforts to bend the data enough to support a global flood.
