But you are arguing as though it does matter how many people believe a thing, and in the case of scientific experts who accept the theory of evolution, not laymen, the numbers are wholly, unflinchingly and categorically against you.
Arguing from your parameters (that the number of experts who accept a thing is true has some bearing on it actually being true), you have been squashed like a bug by a factor of at least 10.
If this were a valid way to evaluate evidence (by popularity), than you should defending the theory of evolution, not arguing against it. The fact that you think 650 scientists going on record as believing in a 6-day creation actually means something tells the rest of us that you don't have the first clue about how fallacious your arguments are, though I think the rest of us knew that all along.
Once you understand why appealing to the number of experts you agree with you doesn't matter (as many people have done, read the posts preceding mine here for the explanation), then you'll understand why appealing to the number of experts who believe a majority position doesn't matter. All that matters is the evidence, not how many people you can get to stand behind you on the playground, and in the case of evolution, the evidence is overwhelmingly in support of the theory.
