For me it is insignificant either way, egyptian worshipers of Ra worked out the circumference of the earth using triganometry, Ra was still a made up god. Einstein was a deist, doesn't matter a jot to what is true.
Arguments from authority are illgoical and unconvincing and make evident a lack of evidence.......because instead of presenting opinion, you should present evidence.
Rsymond has been openly christian a long time as have the christians in science he works alongside. It is no threat to his career, because he doesnt write papers in journals claiming to have evidence for god this is just his opinion on a piece of video film, it isn't science....and that is why it is also irrelevant.
3% of scientists (pew 2009 study) reject evolution and belive god created the universe. Check the names out for yourself, they are a small group and pop up everywhere, including Ken Ham's presentation. Being a medical doctor and inventor does not give you authority to speak for evolutionary science, paleontology, cosmology, abiogenesis, world history..... etc etc. But it doesnt STOP you from vocslising snd presenting evidence either, but none of them do, they just present opinion based on bible verses and hope that uninformed people will be swayed by their status.Scientists do not do opinion, they seek evidence.
I interviewed a creationist biologist that helps write crestionist text books. He offerend NO evidence, just listed gaps in evolutionary knowledge not yet explored or resolved and concluded by admitting that he would always take scripture over scientific evidence as an authority. So it is important to know these things when you hear them.
The easy solution is to simply ask......"show me your evidence and I'll believe you"
By the way the biologist emailed me the next day and asked me to delete the interview and retracted permission for me to publish his answers.
