Well, since 90% of scientists are atheists and since Darwinists believe the scientists would it be that far of a stretch to believe that 90% of Darwinists are also atheists.

That wouldn't follow logically, either.

But let's tackle a couple of those assumptions. Where has it been shown that 90% of scientists are atheists? Or is that a label that is being placed on them if they don't believe in a 6,000 year old earth?

Self-proclaimed atheists? Give me a link. Anything.

I'd guess the number is in the single digits.

Fact is, you don't have to be a scientist to be a Darwinist. I don't have to be a scientist to be a Galileoist. I don't have to be a manufacturer to be a Henry Fordist.

If you pour a cupful of theology into a pot of science watered down with a broth of statistics and sociology, I guess you come up with this article.

Hey, it's a point of view, and expressing it is okay with me. Not all points of view are required to make sense before they're published.

From This article

Where, one reader demanded, did I get the information that 10 percent of scientists accept intelligent design? I got it from a National Post (newspaper) article published two years ago, which said that 90 percent of the members of the National Academy of Science "consider themselves atheists." Since if you're not an atheist, you allow for the possibility of a Mind or Intelligence behind nature, this puts 10 percent in the I.D. camp.

Maybe you should ask the author of this article for more info about the National Post article.
