Just in case you didn't know? Scientists past and present who were/are creationists

Remember the previous post about careless and apparently useless secular peer review methods in light of various mistakes and frauds?

I had to take a vacation day from work and spent a good part of the day sleeping.   I needed to rest up after family gatherings and parties and other factors.  So it would be a great time to simply publish a list of creationist scientists (not one of whom has simply declared himself an astrobiologist to my knowledge *wink*) from the AIG website.  Many of the men listed below are linked to websites with biographical information.  However, Blogger is not allowing those links to be accessed from this blog, so if you are interested in any scientist or link you can go to the applicable source and find everything in working order/

So for those of you who do not know, there are right now large numbers of scientists who have and are willing to face the loss of income and status and position to declare themselves to be creationists and most of the great scientists of the past are included here:

Some modern scientists who have accepted the biblical account of creation

Is there evidence of discrimination against creation scientists?

Which scientists of the past believed in a Creator?

As far as we know, the scientists of the past listed here believed in a literal Genesis unless indicated with an asterisk. The ones who did not are nevertheless included in the list below because of their general belief in the creator God of the Bible and opposition to evolution. But because the idea that the earth is ‘millions of years’ old has been disastrous in the long run, no present day ‘long-agers’ are included intentionally, because we submit that they should know better.
Note: These scientists are sorted by birth year.

Is there a list of those who are against the biblical view of creation?

Other biographies and interviews of interest

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I have mentioned in my past blogs other modern-day scientists who are not on this list.   Part of the reason is that modern scientists must proactively contact AIG to add themselves and plenty of them are not even aware AIG is compiling such a list.   Scientists tend to focus on their work and not everyone peruses AIG regularly.   

The Creation Safaris staff publishes the online Creation-Evolution Headlines which I cannot recommend highly enough!   You will find up-to-the-minute news you can use, plus biographies of scientists, quotes, and other features.  You will find that the I do think that David Coppedges webpage with biographies of early great creation scientists adds a few (Roger Bacon and Grossteste, for instance) so you would also want to check out his very informative site as well:
