Thanks jennyp, but as you have more correctly noted in the table below, I don't claim to have an expert opinion, but I will be happy to provide my amateur creationist opinion, provided that you can answer a couple of questions.
1. Do you post this somewhere?

2. Do all ameteur evolutionists agree with the results attributed to Mainstream scientists?

3. Do all expert/published evolutionists agree with the mainstream scientists?

4. If a previously expert/published scientist doesn't agree with the mainstream scientists, are they no longer considered an expert nor a scientist?
I just noticed that there are no results for evolutionists, amateurs or otherwise, giving the impression that all evolutionists agree, and I know that that is not true.

I'll take the survey, but I'll only provide my amateur opinions to you if you answer my questions and agree to survey some amateur and published evolutionists individually, and then tell me where the results are posted. This looks like a great idea.

Most amateur evolutionists tend to defer in their opinions to those who have actually studied the matter more intensely than they have.

Creationists, amateur and otherwise, on the other hand, seem to have no reluctance to tell even the most experienced scientists that they know nothing about anything when it comes to evolution.

1. Do you post this somewhere?
Yes, I post it on these threads periodically and keep it updated as more creationists weigh in here or as more published claims by the prominent creationist scholars are found.
2. Do all ameteur evolutionists agree with the results attributed to Mainstream scientists?
I don't know of any who don't. B thru K are all transitionals between ancient apes & modern humans. We'd positively expect there to be controversy over whether specific transitional species are more ape-like (probably walked on all fours, lived in trees, etc.) vs. more human-like (walked upright, lived on the ground, made tools, used symbolic thought, etc.) The survey states this upfront in the "Mainstream scientists" row.
3. Do all expert/published evolutionists agree with the mainstream scientists?
4. If a previously expert/published scientist doesn't agree with the mainstream scientists, are they no longer considered an expert nor a scientist?
It's unremarkable if us Frevolutionists were to disagree among ourselves on which "slot" these transitionals should be put in, since they're transitionals.

But it's you creationists who insist that there is an unbridgeable gap between the created ape-baramin and the human-baramin. So y'all should be able to agree among yourselves on just where this unbridgeable gap actually is, shouldn't you?
