==The majority of scientists in the USA are people of faith. Biologists have no interest in ‘replacing God’

I can’t speak for the majority of scientists. All I know is that the vast majority of the “elite” scientists, who wield a tremendous amount of control over the ideology of science, are in fact atheists:

“A survey of all 517 NAS members in biological and physical sciences resulted in just over half responding: 72.2% were overtly atheistic, 20.8% agnostic, and only 7.0% believed in a personal God. Belief in God and immortality was lowest among biologists.”

Stats taken from:

E.J. Larson and L. Witham, Leading Scientists Still Reject God, Nature 394(6691):313, 23 July 1998.

Thank you. From my personal experience in the science community I agree. If there are Christians anywhere about, very few make it known, as they are looked upon as weak and needing a crutch to get through life. And God forbid they ever bring up a belief in the Creator professionally, might as well go get another job

In the case of Biologists, they simply cannot see the Forest because the trees got in the way.

Physicists on the other hand, are more inclined to see the work of God, as well as understand the vastness of the Universe, along with the obvious laws of it’s creation.

The Big Bang was the initial point of creation and is clearly illustrated in Genesis. At the time it was written, the mind of man was severely limited in comprehending or understanding/interpreting the divine illustration of that creation.

Biologists such as Darwin are the very worst form of Scientist to base that standard of biological origin on. They are simply too arrogant in their belief that they have all the answers in regards to the physical world. Yet, they overlook all the many contradictions that refute their belief system. (Much like the Global Warming theorists.)
