Perryman, I agree with you that many scientists would have been Christian in name only. If you read Peyps (not a scientist but stay with me) diary it's obvious that some folk went to church regularly whilst living totally immoral lives. The reason I chose that particular list of scientists is that they were undeniably 'Christian' Christians. From their writings you can see that they actually loved God. People like Kelvin and Clerk Maxwell lived in an age where there was plenty of science/religion disputes and they took part in them. The others were clearly Bible believing Christians. So it's not accurate to say that years ago everyone would have been a Christian.

Macro evolution is proven science? Its interesting that you support that, not with any evidence but with a statement that 'we know the mechanisms'. If you'd have said that we've seen and tested the mechanisms i would agree with you. That would be science. Have we really observed and tested evidence?Darwin thought that one species over time would turn into other species by incremental change. Do you have any observable evidence of this? If so please publish immediately in a scientific journal as you will then be given your own TV series and have a boat named after you. Perrymany McPerrymanface....has a ring to it....
