Some of the greatest Scientists the World has known were literal Bible believers. Yup, i am young-earth. Nice to meet you.You're absolutely correct - you can be a scientist and religious at the same time - at least with scientific disciplines that don't contradict the bible - particularly as a young-earth creationist leaves many, many sciences in conflict with that worldview.
Nah I disagree. There are lots of young Earth guys doing good work in the fields of Biology and Geology. Evidence is interpreted using a Worldview, there is no real evidence that conflicts with the Biblical view of Creation because evidence itself doesn't say anything. I feel the Biblical view of Creation is the most consistant view when all the evidence is taken into consideration.

What you will find is that the greatest scientists after Darwin made his discovery are the ones who accepted the evidence of evolution; not the ones who decided that if scientific findings go against the Bible, the findings must be wrong. Scientists should have no bias against findings. A good scientist is someone who can hold a deeply held belief for the majority of their life, only to have it shattered at the end but still be able to accept they were wrong.
Most Young Earth Creationists I've met have a problem with that. They cannot get over their deeply held beliefs, despite the amount of evidence that goes against them.
From your signature:
Quote:Atheism- The belief that in the beginning there was nothing, and then nothing happened to nothing for no reason which exploded into everything.
I challenge you to find one atheist who actually believes that. I am also very skeptical of your "science" credentials if you honestly think that is an accurate description of The Big Bang.
You mean like Dr. Dean Kenyon who was a Chemical Evolutionists for decades but now admits his beliefs were in error and is part of the ID movement? Or does this only apply when they agree with you? :-) There have been lots of Creation Scientists who have lived since Darwin who have done good Science, just like there have been lots of non-believers who have done bad Science. I feel your post is a mischaracterization of the facts.
As for my Signature, it's humor man. Just like a lot of these anti-Christian signatures are supposed to be humorous even though they mischaracterize the true teachings of Chrstianity. My Science credentials are sound.
