Appendix II: Creation
Scientists
Another charge often leveled by evolutionists is
that creationists are ignorant, backwards "Bible thumpers" with no education, or
that they oppose true science. While it is unfortunately true that most
scientists of today have been so thoroughly indoctrinated into the dogma of
evolution in their training that they believe it to be a fact, it is also true
that there are many scientists with Ph.D's in various fields who do not adhere
to the doctrine of evolution and who are staunch creationists with a strong
faith in the Bible.
Many of these creationist scientists were not brought up
believing in creation, after all, to get a university degree in practically any
of the physical sciences in most universities today one is taught that evolution
is a fact, and many of these creationist scientists were former evolutionists
themselves, however after an honest appraisal of the facts they were open
minded enough and humble enough to recognise that what they had been taught to
believe was a fact in their High School and College years was nothing but a
specious fantasy.
It is also true that most of the founders of the
major scientific disciplines over the past two centuries were creationists
with a firm belief in God.
I am indebted to the Answers in Genesis organization for the
following list of scientists who have doctorates in a variety of fields and who
have examined the evidence for themselves and come to the conclusion that
creationism is a much better explanation for the origin of the universe and the
origin of life than the lifeless theory of evolution. To go
