I have been through many discussions concerning a harmony of my faith and science, both online and in person with loved ones. When one of us, whether a creationist or an evolutionist, posts a thread, we have our knee-jerk responses ready.
I really want to talk about a narrow subject. I would like to talk about scientists in general, and maybe in specific, but not so much about whether intermediate species exist, or whether I can have my faith and keep science also.
My interest is more for what my creationist brothers and sisters have to say on the subject of the scientists that have developed the theory of evolution through the years.
I am the kind of guy who goes to the doctor on a regular basis because I believe he can do good things for my health. I do believe in getting second opinions if the doctor has told me something about my health that I find unusual, unexpected or maybe even not in agreement with what I believed was the case. But if I go to a second doctor and a third and a fourth and a fifth and they all tell me the same thing about my health, I would do what I believe is the most reasonable thing to do. I would conform my viewpoint to what all these doctors have agreed upon.
I am sure everyone can figure out where my analogy is going. I am operating on the assumption that nobody can produce a legitimate scientist who has a relevant degree to the subject of evolution that is also a creationist . So, if you say you know one and he has a masters degree in engineering, this won't mean anything to the subject at hand.
If, however, you believe me to be wrong, that you know of a scientist who is a creationist, please post this persons name. A minimum standard on this would be a Ph.D in biology, chemistry and even fields such as physics and astronomy would have some less direct bearing.
If you feel, as I imagine many of you do, the academic system that I refer to when I mention my "minimum standard" is through a corrupted educational system, then please argue for why that is. This will contribute to what I want to get at anyway, sense I am interested in the creationist view point of the science community.
My thesis is this. To say that the community of science is vastly in support of evolution is an understatement. Practically as one voice, scientists of all pertinent fields confirm the theory of evolution.
Do you, as a creationist, believe that these scientists are simply all wrong, corrupt, mislead or something else?
I look forward to your responses.
