The following biologists are some who believe in evolution. They have been chosen based on their status as 'full members' of National Academies of Science. But before that impossible to top list is looked at (and that is just bioligists! I am leaving out astonomers! Paleotologists! etc.) Here is a list of CHRISTIAN scientists who believe in evolution. Or as they say, God created man through this process. (Hint Hint, I bet you say something like they are all quacks and idiots because YOU have more knowledge than they do from little books and sites like CreationScience.com......., I also bet you don't even look at them because they don't agree with you. That is that little 'pride' thing I'm talking about. You are either arrogant or blind to not acknowledge some people, even ones with years of study and abilities of the mind we don't have, are smarter and may know more than you. I know these people know more about science than I ever will, no matter how many sites I visit or books I read. I admit my inferiority and you hold your superiority to levels above them. Who is the prideful one again? PROMINENT CHRISTIAN EVOLUTIONISTS and Christian websites that defend God AND evolution DR. RICHARD G. COLLING Dr. Colling is a fundamentalist Christian and chair of Biology at a fundamentalist Christian college, and also author of Random Designer: Created From Chaos To Connect With Creator. According to Dr. Colling, "It pains me to suggest that my religious brothers are telling falsehoods" when they say evolutionary theory is "in crisis" and claim that there is widespread skepticism about it among scientists. "Such statements are blatantly untrue," he argues. "Evolution has stood the test of time and considerable scrutiny... What the designer designed is the random-design process," or Darwinian evolution, Colling says. "God devised these natural laws, and uses evolution to accomplish his goals."

DENIS O. LAMOUREUX Dr. Lamoureux is a biologist/evolutionist and Evangelical Christian. He was involved in a written debate with Phillip E. Johnson, the lawyer and advocate of the "Intelligent Design hypothesis," which was published in book form as Darwinism Defeated? A debate between Phillip E. Johnson and Denis O. Lamoureux. ------------------------------------------------------------ -------------------- DR. KEITH B.

He is the author of Darwinian Natural Right: The Biological Ethics of Human Nature; and, Darwinian Conservatism (2005), whose blurb reads, "The Left has traditionally assumed that human nature is so malleable, so perfectible, that it can be shaped in almost any direction. Conservatives object, arguing that social order arises not from rational planning but from the spontaneous order of instincts and habits. Darwinian biology sustains conservative social thought by showing how the human capacity for spontaneous order arises from social instincts and a moral sense shaped by natural selection in human evolutionary history." Arnhardt has also debated I.D.ists at their conferences ------------------------------------------------------------ -------------------- DR. KENNETH MILLER In a court case in Cob country, Georgia in which the school board lost their battle to insert "Evolution is only a theory" stickers inside a biology text, the "offending" book in question was written by a Christian, Dr. Kenneth Miller. How ironic. Besides having authored a widely used biology textbook, Miller is also the author of Finding Darwin's God: A Scientist's Search for Common Ground Between God and Evolution.

FRANCIS COLLINS Dr. Francis Collins is Director of the Human Genome Project. Collins has stated: "I am unaware of any irreconcilable conflict between scientific knowledge about evolution and the idea of a creator God; why couldn't God have used the mechanism of evolution to create?...In my field, biology, because of the creationists the standard assumption is that anyone who has faith has gone soft in the head. When scientists like me admit they are believers, the reaction from colleagues is 'How did this guy get tenure?'" (Gregg Easterbrook, "Science and God: A Warming Trend?" Science, Vol. 277, No. 5328, Aug. 15 1997, p. 890-893) More on Dr. Collins at Christianity Today's website: "The Genome Doctor: The director of the National Human Genome Research Institute answers questions about the morality of his work" by Francis Collins ------------------------------------------------------------ -------------------- DR.

Every single talking point you bring up has not only been dismissed, it was done decades ago and is no longer even acknowledged by any scientists nor any well repected scientific journals (you know, the ones that discover new cells, vaccines, viruses, planets, galaxies, anatomical breakthroughs etc.) nor by any respected institution (what do creationists have? Oral Roberts?, The creationists museam?) they are laughed at by people of their own faith who have the ability to learn new things and see what are facts.

Then again it might be better to look at univerisites like Harvard, Yale, Stanford or prominent journals for your "facts". Oral Roberts and a guy with a PhD in chemistry at a community college aren't the best sources you know. Now please, google away :) I guess they teach more at security gaurd school than Harvard!!!!! Idiot.
