It's so typical of a theist to cherry-pick so pathetically, lmfao. It's the same way you kid yourself into believing that you can make sense of scripture that makes no sense.
For every 50 scientists who deny evolution there are 2450 who accept evolution. You understand what 2% means, yes?
What's worse for the creatards is that of those 50 scientists 50 will work in areas unrelated to biology or are woefully behind in their literature (ie they stopped sciencing in the 50s). Same thing goes with climate change deniers (except they also get bungs from major polluters).
The thing is someone can be a scientist and still go on saying that Harry Potter or ancient aliens are real or Creationism is real. Maybe their motifs are to make some extra money, because there is a market for that or maybe they really believe it (maybe they're suffering from psychological disorder) who knows. But of course when they do their scientific work they have to leave their magical beliefs outside of lab or office.
What's important is what they are saying. If they are saying nonsense then they're not right, no matter what their education is and this book that alphamale mentioned is just that. It's using false arguments that anyone can research on their own and find out they're lies, unless they're already educated to know better, but since there are people that won't research and want to believe - these kind of books exist.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
