You are confusing religion with science

No, I'm not.

Religion is not science and science is not religion

That is correct.

Science cannot prove or disprove the existence of God

That is correct as well, by definition.

Unfortunately, for over 500 years, some adherents of some religions are always attacking science thinking that science is attacking religion

That statement belies your anti-fact bias against creationism. The following is a partial list of "adherents to some religions" (Christianity) who were both scientists and creationists. Note that the "founder" of the scientific method was a creation science adherent. Note the names you've read in your textbooks showing up again and again....

Interesting that neary all your list is comprised of dead people. All but a few died befor the discovery of DNA. Most of the rest died before genome sequencing and comparitive genetics. So you are left with, at most, four guys who have lived long enough to see the full range of evidence.

I could probably find four PhDs in mathematics who buy lotto tickets.

I would be a bit more impressed if you limited your list to people who have published research papers on relevan topics in the last ten or twenty years.

Yawn.

Note to self: In the future, don't bother to post in threads about 'creation science' or 'intelligent design'. These are really religious discussions, and not about science.

The suck-ups to idiocy dismiss such lists but I still love them.

It still boggles my mind . . . we have absolutely

NO

EVIDENCE

IN ANY SPHERE

of chaos observably, experimentally or otherwise tangibly resulting in more and more elegant order--not in our lifetime--not in recent centuries--not in recorded millenia.

NONE.

Yet, in a very long list of THE MOST COMPLEX CASES--incredible organisms, this

GREAT IDIOTIC LEAP OF UTTER BLIND FAITH labeled evolution is considered the HOLY, righteous, flawless, truest truth GRAIL.

Fascinating psychology; fascinating sociology; fascinating idiocy.

It's interestin that your first list (The early period) begins with Francis Bacon, a giant of science.

And your last list (The modern period) begins with Clifford Burdick, who believed in giants.

Dr. Clifford Burdick of the CSRC (Creation Science Research Center) is a "flood" geologist who has spent forty years trying to prove that giant humans once roamed the earth and even mingled with the dinosaurs.
Burdick has displayed a copy of his Ph.D. from the University of Physical Sciences (Phoenix, Arizona) in the Glen Rose Creation Evidence Museum. However, the State of Arizona Board of Regents, the University of Arizona Department of Geology, and the Arizona State Bureau of Geology and Mineral Technology have never heard of this "university." CREDENTIALS BAUGH BURDICK BLISS

And not even Answers in Genesis is backing Burdick's main claim to infamy, the Glen Rose Tracks, anymore.
