Blondie, I'd like to request that you watch that video about "Creationist scientists", specifically because they work very hard to give the impression that they are presenting a viable "alternative" to evolutionary biology. The sad truth is, they are not. They simply exist to promote their Biblical inerrancy teachings, and are willing to lie in disastrous ways in order to create the impression that they are also doing science. It simply is not true.
One example, if you wish to see for yourself, is a claim that was made a few years back by the Institute for Creation Research (whom you quoted, now called the "Discovery Institute", as I pointed out before) about a number of scientists who reject evolution and common descent. So a researcher went to look at the list they claimed was a valid list of anti-evolution scientists. Turned out that very few of the names on the list were people even qualified to make a claim about their position on evolutionary biology, and of those biologists the list did claim, none of them except the guy who made the list were actually saying what the list claimed they were saying, and got angry when they were notified that they were placed on the list.

I replied: Can I refuse? Because I find the entire concept of vicarious blood sacrifice atonement to be morally abhorrent, the concept of holding flawed creatures permanently accountable for social misbehaviors and thought crimes to be morally abhorrent, and the concept of calling something "free" when it comes with the strings of subjugation and obedience perhaps the most morally abhorrent of all... and that's without even going into the history of justifying genocide, slavery, rape, misogyny, religious intolerance, and suppression of free speech which has been attributed by your own scriptures to your deity. I want a refund. I would burn happily rather than serve the monster you profess to love.
