What does any of this have to do with evolution? The pseudoscience of Marxism produced the Soviet Union and Communist China. A number of brilliant thinkers came out of those societies, so what! That does not prove the pseudoscience of Marxism is true any more than a multi-billion dollar pharmaceutical industry proves that the pseudoscience of Darwinism is true.
I guess all the screwball scifi and horror flicks based on some evolutionary premise I used see at the Sat. matinee when I was a kid are equally valid arguments against evolution? You are using at least two logical fallacies in your presentation--that of ad hominem and selective siding. Scientists who believed in creation have given humankind calculus, the laws of heredity, and germ theory. Thomas Edison was also a creationist, I believe.

This comes up all the time. One could respond with equal force that thinkers who believed in Zeus did some useful work too, but so what? We don't give credit to the Olympian gods because of the work of Greek philosophers, scientists and mathaticians.

The question is not whether someone was a creationist (prior to the general acceptance of Darwin's theory, virtually everyone was), but whether "creation science" itself has ever accomplished anything. I suggest that it hasn't.
