David, please:
What sort of 'creationist' are you?
Did you write & complete & submit a Ph.D. thesis? What was the title? What
were the chapter headings? Would it be possible to read it?
Please explain 'worst answer on the entire exam'.

Do you?
I am aware of that. I am a creationist, and probably primarily for that
reason am not currently a practicing scientist. They don't give out
Ph.D.'s
to anyone you know, and my creationist views caused my Ph.D. committee to
split right down the middle, with one professor saying that my answer to
that particular question on my Ph.D. written exams was the best he had
ever
read, and another professor saying that it was the worst answer on the
entire exam.
Strangely, the most vocal advocates of evolution as an explanation for
origins that I have ever read were from theologians. They believe in
evolution more strongly than most scientists. They just don't realize it.
Most scientists simply operate from the currently accepted paradigm of
evolution, as per the Kuhnian concept considered in Victor's course
outline.
I think evolutionary theory accounts for much post-creation biological
events, but I do not believe that it adequately explains the origin of
life,
nor does it explain the diversity of life from a single celled original
organism to what we observe today. I believe that the earth itself is
very
old, but that the creation of life was done thousands of years ago (not
millions of years) as per the outline given to us in Genesis 1. I believe
that Genesis 2 is an inside look of the blueprint of God, the wisdom of
God,
the architect's plan that gives us the why's and wherefore's.
