My resources are from highly regarded scientist who USE to be evolutionists. But they got off their high horse! and started looking honestly!

Do they do the type of "science" the Creation Research Society advocates? That organization has the following on its website:

The Creation Research Society is a professional organization of trained scientists and interested laypersons who are firmly committed to scientific special creation. The Society was organized in 1963 by a committee of ten like-minded scientists, and has grown into an organization with an international membership.

CRS Statement of Belief

All members must subscribe to the following statement of belief:

1. The Bible is the written Word of God, and because it is inspired throughout, all its assertions are historically and scientifically true in the original autographs. To the student of nature this means that the account of origins in Genesis is a factual presentation of simple historical truths.

2. All basic types of living things, including man, were made by direct creative acts of God during the Creation Week described in Genesis. Whatever biological changes have occurred since Creation Week have accomplished only changes within the original created kinds.

3. The great flood described in Genesis, commonly referred to as the Noachian Flood, was an historic event worldwide in its extent and effect.

4. We are an organization of Christian men and women of science who accept Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior. The account of the special creation of Adam and Eve as one man and one woman and their subsequent fall into sin is the basis for our belief in the necessity of a Savior for all mankind. Therefore, salvation can come only through accepting Jesus Christ as our Savior.

Does this sound like science to you? Does this sound like research?

Any time preconceived beliefs, such as these, override the scientific method, an individual is doing (or teaching) apologetics (defense of religion), not science. It doesn't matter what scientific degrees one may have; to agree to a set of standards such as these, which is common (whether explicit or implicit) in creationist circles, is to cease doing science and move into the realm of apologetics.

That isnt were I get my resources! I get them from all sorts of scientists who use to be evolutionists. Bunches of them! peace! They say that evolution should not be taught as fact, and that ALL evidence should be shown and not censored like evolutionists do in peer reviews media schools etc...etc... and the reason they censor is because if all the evidence was shown it would clearly show evolution doesnt hold water! Peace friend!

Not to mention it doesnt make a hill of beans what they believe or have to confess to to be a part of a group if the evidence is credible the evidence is credible! Evidence is evidence, period!
