Examples of Creation Scientists
Evolutionists often claim that Christians cannot be good scientists. However, this statement goes against historical fact. Below is a list of excellent scientists who believed the Bible.
Historical Creation Scientists
These men have been influential in the history of science and were creationists. 1 They demonstrate that creationists can do good science, and that evolution is not required to perform science well. (This list is still in progress.)
