What can one "do" with design?

Did you try reading the manual first?

The one that says it is OK to offer up your daughter to strangers for sex?

It's a list of past scientists who founded modern science.
You can't be critical that they are dead.
There are other lists of living creationist scientists.
Then you can complain if some are dead.
You critics are goofy in the head.

lol

Become a surgeon. They need to know the design of the human anatomy.

How does believing in "design" impact surgery?

Now you are free to consider the infinite depth of purpose for everything. No more "mistakes".

What evidence is there that William Herschel, who is on your list, was a 'Bible-believing' Christian? I know that his son John was a devout Christian, and I am willing to accept that William Herschel was a Christian (most people were in his time), but I have never found anything to show that he was a Biblical literalist. In fact, William Herschel reportedly said to the poet Thomas Campbell that he had 'observed stars of which the light, it can be proved, must take two million years to reach the Earth', and John was willing to see 'the days of Creation' as lasting 'many thousand millions of years.'

The scriptures teach that the hills are litterally "everlasting".
You might be thinking that all creationists are young earth creationists, which is not correct.

No, we know better than that. We understand distinctions amongst different kinds of creationists, which is why we scoff at that list.

Your list of Bible-Believing Scientists of the Past comes from the Institute for Creation Research. The 'core principles' of the ICR - Foundational Principles - include

The record of earth history, as preserved in the earth's crust, especially in the rocks and fossil deposits, is primarily a record of catastrophic intensities of natural processes, operating largely within uniform natural laws, rather than one of gradualism and relatively uniform process rates. There are many scientific evidences for a relatively recent creation of the earth and the universe, in addition to strong scientific evidence that most of the earth's fossiliferous sedimentary rocks were formed in an even more recent global hydraulic cataclysm.

and

All things in the universe were created and made by God in the six literal days of the Creation Week described in Genesis 1:1-2:3, and confirmed in Exodus 20:8-11.

From this, it appears that the ICR is a young-earth and young-universe creationist organisation, and therefore that it would hardly have included old-earth or old-universe creationists in its list of 'Bible-believing scientists'. Either the ICR has evidence (which I should like to see) that William Herschel believed in a young universe, contrary to his reported statement to Thomas Campbell, or its list is designed to give the impression that scientists, such as Herschel, who were Christians, but not necessarily young-earth creationists or anti-evolutionists, would have agreed with the core principles of the ICR.
