It's 5% of scientists. While that is still not a majority, it is still a significant number when you consider that most of the media talks about evolution as though it were fact. Also, what the majority believes does not make something true or false, though human nature likes to conform, so we often simply accept what the majority says. I find that most truth in life is not accepted by the majority anyway. As I pointed out before, brilliant minds such as Einstein have been creationists. I find it a little hard to believe that Einstein would have accepted logic that "does not fit the 'Scientific Method'."
As for your offer, Shunyadragon, to "submit individual examples of this bogus and selective use of scientific evidence upon request," I don't doubt that for every one of those examples, I could come up with my own from the other perspective. That does not prove anything except that some people make poor arguments. That does not disprove creationism.<hr size="1" /></blockquote><span class='postcolor'>
There is a distinction between being a 'Creationist', i.e. to believe God created existence and the Fundimentalist Christian view of 'Creation Science', which believes that the version of God's creation of the world is a literal truth.
I am a 'Creationist' in the same way Darwin and Einstein believed God created existence. Einstein did not support the Fundimentalist 'Creation Science' view of how the world was created.
It is true that the majority view does not determine what is true or not true, the 'Creation Science' view is supported by very few scientists.
