Evolution Misconceptions
Remember that Joule, Bohr, Braun, Pasteur, Maxwell, Kelvin, et cetera are included in the Creationist category...
okay...and they didn't have the information we have today. so what's your point?
"I CAN FIND GUYS WHO BELIEVED IN CREATIONISM WHO WERE SCIENTISTS!! ! ignore that none of them are recent."
Dude, Aristotle, greatest philosopher ever, believed the world was made up of a 5 elements. We are so wrong. WTF is Uranium..
And he also believed that the natural state of objects is to be at rest. What was Newton thinking, proposing ideas like inertia?

BTW, this is not "appeal to majority" so don't bother with the "project Steve" crap; this is QUALITATIVE, AND NOT QUANTITATIVE, as if you had the ability to understand the difference.
I could easily, in words alone as you have done, separate "scientists" and "Quatermass".
"Creationism" isn't a science. It is rationalisations coupled with make believe. And seperating scientists from creationists is NOT a form of the no true scotsman fallacy. No True Scotsman fallacy deals with over defining a category to be so specific that no one can realistically fit into it. Where Scientist is a common use word for person who is "a person with advanced knowledge of one or more sciences" -TheFreeDictionary.com
So where a Creationist might be a scientist through some other means, someone with only knowledge of Creationism is NOT a scientist, because Creationism isn't a science.
Very true. Just because someone has scientific accomplishments in one field doesn't mean they're right or even remotely scientific in other fields, or that accomplished scientists cannot change to profoundly non-scientific attitudes (like Johannes Stark). Plus, they only had the evidence available at the time to work on. Scientific truth is determined by the balance of the evidence, not by who endorsed a theory before that evidence was even available.
Creationism is basically the following: 'if I can find any shred of scientific-looking evidence or arguments in favour of what I will believe regardless of any evidence, so much the better; if not, I'll appeal to revelation.'

Haven't read it, just annoyed by Quatermass. That's why I posted.
Maybe you should, and correct the one regarding evolution and religion and whether they are mutually exclusive.

well what you're doing is an appeal to authority and avoiding presenting any actual contradictions to the theory of evolution and presenting any kind of evidence that supports creationism.
edit: and is including nazis kosher?

And not even a Nazi biologist but a Nazi engineer/applied physicist. As you say, that's an appeal to authority rather than to any actual evidence. Don't worry iamnotaparakeet about us mistaking this for the 'appeal to majority' argument because most modern biologists are not creationists. Somehow we're supposed to see a list containing a very, very small fraction of the biology-related PhDs in the world (and no actual evidence) and fall on our knees and swear that they've got to be right.

surprise!
no one has opted to pick apart these misconceptions yet in order to support all this "crap evidence" against evolution
