There are many scientists who are creationists. But many here wouldn't consider them to be scientists.

So who gets to decide who qualifies as a scientist?

Scientists do. Same as doctors, lawyers, engineers and accountants do for their respective fields.

Not in the biological sciences, though. A physicist commenting on evolution holds as much weight as you or I -- basically none.

But many here wouldn't consider them to be scientists.

Sure we would -- in their particular field of study.

So who gets to decide who qualifies as a scientist?

You're kidding, right?
