In science there are no ultimate proofs. All theories are theories. That being said theoretical physicist Paul Davis has been engaged in religious topics for years and in fact accepts the reality of God. His comment on evolution is that there is enough evidence to push it beyond just a theory to a reality.
Any one scientist can make all kinds of comments. The real question is are they submitted for peer review and given some credence by fellow scientists not just in a small group but generally.
Creationists submit their work amongst themselves and their work does not pass with the general scientific community.
Creationists used to say there were no transitional fossils. They hung their whole thesis on that. Now they have found transitional fossils so they have to resort to rather unethical ways to continue their drive to prove what has no proof. In fact I know for a fact that some has taken the work of biologists out of context to make them say what the author never intended. Such "honesty" hardly brings any sort of confidence with it. Many of these men and women are simply wannabe scientists who start with the conclusion and then try to make the evidence fit. This is not bona fide science.

Lets see, water cut the grand canyon, and you disagree that an hydraulacist is scientific enough to study the affects of water?
The creation scientists I read about have degrees form all sorts of secular scientific schools.
And Henry Morris, without a degree is more than qualified to pick up a strongs concordance and interperate any passage of scripture, as is anyone who can read above a 5th grade elementary school level.
Thats exactly why the common man does not attempt to read the bible, because so called scholars have created a enire false set of possible interpretations, and mindboggling confusion on what it says!
KISS... Keep It Simple Stupid.
Ted I have no degrees, I have some minor college technical courses, I have 4 U.S. patents, I have three more in research and two prototypes in production testing for more. I'm writing a book (novel about a hero western character loosly based on my grandfathers life). Im a welder, wood carver, metal smith, expert in weapons, explosives, and detonators, tactical military operations, and contact combat. Ive designed and built machines, tools, clothing, cabins, electrical systems, motorcycle cars, cement tip up buildings, tents, hazardous material container systems not to mention I consult for work flow and production in factories. Im not listing this stuff to brag but to prove a point, you dont need a dergee to figure stuff out, some cool clear observation, some creative angle thinking and nine times out of ten you can figure stuff out. In short, it dont take no GED.
