    Come on, where did you get this list? Did you compile it yourself?

    Joining a bandwagon does not make the bandwagon correct.

    What I mean to say is, you do not specify if what these people believe is the literal, fundamentalist, ridiculous version of biblical creation including a 6,000 year old Earth or the more sensible evolutionary creation idea.

    I googled 'how many scientists are there in the world?'. Answer:

    According to AAAS, there were 5.8 million science and engineering researchers in 2006

    How many in your list RJH? Two, three hundred? So thats... what, 0.005% ish?

    Many on his list are not what one would typically call 'scientists' at all, and certainly not 'science and engineering researchers'.
    For example he includes some medical Doctors.

    But he has essentially shown us that in general, the more educated you are the less likely it is that you believe in creation.

    Oh yes, I hadn't noticed that. Best answer I got for the number of medical doctors in the world is somewhere between 10 and 15 million. That's knocking it down to less than 0.002%. I think I'm happy to accept that as a statistically insignificant proportion.

    The OP proves the argument that even some stupid people can complete medical school and others are even capable of picking up a Phd from one of those fine fine Christian colleges that hand out degrees with the welcome bible.

    Whether it is 0.002% or even less, it doesn't matter.

    Joining a wagon, whether the following is large or small, does not change the truth.
    For example there was a time, some hundreds of years ago, that people thought the world was flat... and only 1 or 2 thought it was round, etc. What people thought of the earth did not change it.... the truth remained that it was and is round and not flat.

    However, you may be right.... you are a legion...for you are many.

    In fact you'd have to go back a lot further than 'some hundreds' of years to find a world where 99.998% of people thought the world was flat. Here's a pretty good summary:

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spherical_Earth



    However, you may be right.... you are a legion...for you are many.

    Is this some sort of veiled intimation that you believe that 99.998% of scientists are possessed by demons?

    So you are essentially arguing against the OP?

    I think we can all agree that the personal opinion of people, however well educated, on a subject that they have not specialised in, does not reflect very strongly on the validity of the subject.

    However, if the subject under discussion is something that is at least well understood by the people in question and even better, within their field of expertise, then I think numbers is an important indicator of validity, especially if we do not ourselves know the validity of something by independent means.
    Of course one should also consider alternative explanations for peoples beliefs. For example, in a group that is largely a follower of one religion, one should consider that there religious beliefs might have an impact on their other beliefs and thus explain their common beliefs on a given matter.

    But since it is science we are talking about, we have a far better way of settling the mater. Rather than asking for peoples personal opinion, we should ask how many people have published articles with a given opinion in scientific journals and survived the review processes.

    Creation scientists are those scientists that recognize that the scientific
    evidence supports the creation view over the view that everything
    came into existence on its own by random chance. There is no scientific
    evidence that supports the random chance view.
