No, I am merely pointing out that just because a large number believes something to be true, does not MAKE it true. (No matter what the belief may be) Many darwinists begin to twitch and drool if you even hint that there may be some problems with their theory. Many of the posts here imply that adherents are all thats needed to prove something.

I guess there is a little of that on both sides. Hence, the article title "Over 500 Scientists Proclaim Their Doubts About Darwin's Theory". and the response, "that is only about 5% of the biologists out there". I agree that science is what it is, whether someone believes it or not. But, those who are not scientists, need to evaluate these competing claims. One way to do it is to see how many are for vs. how many are against.
All Christians are not anti-evolution. Your number of 2.1 Billion also includes about 1 billion Catholics, which are taught that evolution and God do not contradict each other.

I'm not saying that just because almost all biologists support evolution means evolution is true. But it is a significant factor in where I place my trust in such issues.

On the other side, the creationists (and ID pushers) just don't have ANY science to back themselves up. They don't publish their findings in scientific journals, or do experiments, or put their hypothoses up to the rigor of scientific testing.

It's not hard to decide which one to go with, which one is more credible.
