Your list of creationist scientists is exactly the kind of weak argument that is superficially attractive to believers who don't know anything about the history of science. And exactly the kind of nonsense that the "project Steve" list mocks. Evidently you didn't get the joke.

Most of the list falls into one or more the following categories:

* Scientists who died before Origin of Species was published.

* Scientists who took part in the 19th Century debate that was won by the proponents of evolution because of the overwhelming evidence that they presented.

* Inventors who operated way out of their field when they rejected evolution.

* Scientists who rejected evolution for reasons that seemed good at the time, but which turned out to be flawed.

* Hilariously, at least one scientist whose supporters believed that they were damaging ToE, but who ended up agreeing that they had supplied the most powerful evidence yet that ToE is true that explains why beneficial mutations don't get "mixed" and lost down the generations, which was previously a serious problem with ToE (G Mendel)

Once again, it is the evidence that counts. Have you got any? If you have please post the URL rather than the article in full to save bandwidth.

I certainly didn't and don't expect any evidence I'd care to dig up to influence you in the slightest.

If you were open to influence, the massive amount of data and logic against ToE would already have convinced you.

BTW, I'll post the full articles whenever it feels fitting to me. I still refuse to play your game by your rules.

You have tried to make the invalid point that Creationism is only believed by unscientific, ignorant and mental weakies. The list demonstrates the absurdity of that notion. Your rationalizations to the contrary don't hold the least bit of water with me.
