I became a biologist by getting a Bachelor of Science degree in pre-Med/biochemistry from McNeese State University in southwest Louisiana, with an emphasis on viral genetics. My Beloved got hers from the University of Kansas (also an emphasis in genetics).
I became a working field biologist when I got a job at my state's Department of Environment, doing chemical and species-range analysis of river/riparian/lake ecosystems throughout the state.
And by dismissing me offhand, as you have done, when I point out that 99.999% of working biologists are evolutionary biologists (and, in fact, since you like videos, I can show how the Discovery Institute/AiG folks have lied to you in order to inflate the number of actual scientists on your side of the "debate")...

You. Are. Being. Lied. To. As. Part. Of. A. Religious. Ideology.
(Edit to Add: Oh, by the way, in my field services department, there were roughly 40 field biologists... as far as I could tell, only one other guy there was an atheist.)

A Christian told me: if you were saved you cant lose your salvation. you're sealed with the Holy Ghost
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.
