One of the many lies used to defend evolution is the statement that no real scientist believes in creation. Shown below are abbreviated biographies and quotes of just a few of the myriad qualified scientists who reject evolution. Dr. Russell Humpheys estimates that in spite of heavy indoctrination from public education, “it’s a conservative estimate that there are in the U.S.A. alone around 10,000 practicing scientists who are Biblical creationists.”
| Scientist | Qualifications | Quote |
| Dr. Russell Humphreys | Ph.D. Physics, working at Sandia National Lab. on particle beam fusion and winner of several scientific awards. | “(The facts of science) support a recent Creation and go strongly against the idea of billions of years which theistic evolutionists uphold.”1 |
| Dr. Danny Faulkner | Ph.D. Astronomy, teaches physics and astronomy at Univ. of S. Carolina, has published several dozen papers in astronomy & astrophysics journals. | “(I believe) the universe is 6 to 8 thousand years old … we have a very clear indication from scripture that creation took place in six ordinary days.”2 |
| Dr. John Baumgardner | Ph.D. Geophysics, working at Los Alamos Nat. Lab. on modeling of interior earth movement, winner of NASA’s grand challenge project for high performance computing. | “To make sense of the world as the Bible lays it out, does not allow for millions of years, but does require that there be a catastrophe which destroyed all air-breathing land life except for that preserved in Noah’s ark.”3 |
| Dr. Andrew Snelling | Ph.D. Geology, numerous published papers on a variety of geological topics, from coal formation to uranium deposits. | “The flood was a global event, therefore we should expect to find global patterns of sedimentation, volcanic activity, mineral deposits, etc.” 4 |
| Dr. Eric Norman | Ph.D. Biochemistry, Asst. Professor of research and medicine at Univ. of Cinn., has published numerous scientific papers, pioneer in vitamin B12 research. | “Evolution is just plain unscientific. It violates the laws of chemistry including the second law of thermodynamics, the laws of probability, and information theory.5 |
| Dr. Donald DeYoung | Ph.D. Physics, Chairman of Physical Science at Grace College, member of the Indiana Academy of Science; teaches mathematics. | “…I would be very cautious about accepting the ‘big bang’ and trying to fit it into the book of Genesis … what encourages me in my Creation view is not outdated – it’s good science.”6 |
| Dr. Raymond Damadian | Inventor of the MRI, National Tech. Metal winner, National Inventors Hall of Fame inductee. | “Rejection of (the Bible’s) account of creation … is basic to the spiritual, social, and economic sickness of our times.”7 |
| Dr. Jonathan Sarfati | Ph.D. Physical Chemistry with extensive training in mathematics, geology, physics. Co-authored papers on superconductors. | “90 percent of the methods that have been used to estimate the age of the earth point to an age far less than the billions of years asserted by evolutionists.”8 |
| Dr. A.E. Wilder-Smith | Earned doctorates in three scientific disciplines including organic chemistry and biology. He has written 30 books, directed a pharmaceutical co., and taught extensively. | “[evolution’s] influence has not been gained by displaying a knowledge of the fundamentals of modern science but by propaganda of a rather subtle sort.” 9 |
