Creation Scientists of the Past

I've engaged in numerous discourses with evolutionists, most of whom claim that a belief in God's act of creation is "stupidity." Anyone who isn't a rabid evolutionist is a superstitious, ignorant, imbecilic, knuckle-dragging, drooling, cross-eyed moron. Anyone who doesn't kiss Darwin's gnarled simian feet is anti-scientific. They would have the rest of the world believe that we're proud charter members of the Flat-Earth Society, we believe the sun goes 'round the earth, and a good bleeding will cure the common cold.

Of course, not only is this wrong, but it's also consciously deceitful, as even a cursory examination of history reveals. Below is a partial list of some creation scientists of the past. For a much more extensive listing, go here.
