Answer Creation Ministries International have a list of over 200 PhD scientists from a wide variety of fields who support creationism. There probably are a few more than this who do not wish to be named due to discrimination. The list assumes that a scientist with a PhD in any field (e.g. theoretical chemistry, physics, electrical engineering, psychology) is a "qualified" scientist (about 1/5th of the list are people in biological sciences, biochemistry, biophysics or geology), which should be considered when regarding the answer. There are also other creationist organizations with other lists that may include some names not on this list. So, the answer isn't completely known and depends on your definition of qualified.
To put the number in perspective, there are a few hundred thousand PhD scientists in the world, and a list of scientists (mostly biologists) only with the first name Steve who agree with evolution (kept by NCSE) currently numbers 887 (28 May 2008).

Is the list of scientists who support creation accurate?
This question relates to the specific list formerly placed on the Answer to the related question, "Do any qualified scientists support the creation theory?" The list has been copied in large part from the website of Creation Ministries International, but may contain additional names. The original list appears now to have been copied to an extremely large number of sites across the web, and any attempt to list them all would quickly become out of date. The fact that the list appeared on WikiAnswers and such a large number of other websites makes it a matter of public interest to estimate the accuracy of the original list.Some details collected by our community:Kelvin and Romanes were not creationists. Other biologists have claimed that the statements made by these organizations that they signed were misleading and that attempts to get the organizations to remove their names from the list have been unanswered.Several of the signers have also signed onto other unscientific lists, including one denying that HIV causes AIDS (for example, Phillip Johnson, Jonathan Wells and Tom Bethel).There are differing opinions about the qualifications of the listed individuals. A number of names on the list, including the one presented on this site, are known to be presented inaccurately. The TalkOrigins Project Steve FAQ contains a number of examples of such.Only about 0.15% of American biologists support creationism when asked via confidential survey; this strongly refutes the proposition that biologists who support creation keep their views quiet to avoid any backlash. Examples of such backlash for simply believing creationism are nonexistent (as shown on Expelled Exposed and at Talk Origins).The question is whether those named on the list have qualifications such that lay people should give weight to their opinions in the creationism versus evolution debate. A spot check of a few names on the list, based on information widely available on the internet did not find any medical practitioners from the lists with PhDs in a science-related field or employed as scientists in the normal sense. The spot check also indicated that the following names are of people who do not appear to fulfil the normal requirements to be defined as scientists, although some may be leaders in other fields:Dr. John Meyer received his Ph.D. from The University of Western Ontario. His specialities are in the areas of work attitudes, work motivation, leadership, and organizational changeJohn N. Moore, M.S., Ed.D., (Science Educator) has a Doctorate in educationDr. John W. Moreland (Mechanical Engineer and Dentist) has a Bachelor of Science, Engineering Mechanics and Materials, and Doctor of Dental Surgery.Arlton Murray received a D. Sc. (Doctor of Science) in 1981 from the Sussex College of Technology, widely described as a "degree mill". He does not have a PhD or any other doctorate from a recognised university.Stanley A. Mumma (Architectural Engineering ) has Ph.D. in Mechanical EngineeringProf. John Oller received his doctorate in General Linguistics.Saami Shaibani does not have the credentials he claims; he in fact was charged with perjury for claiming so in a court of law.Harold Slusher only has a degree from a diploma mill.Scientists as a whole do not recognize the MD, Doctor of Theology or Doctor of Education as degrees that would qualify one to remark on evolution as any more of an expert than any layperson, but many of those on such lists only have these degrees. A project by the NCSE, Project Steve, has collected the signatures of over 880 scientists only named Steven, Stephen or another variant (of which about two thirds are biologists, unlike the creationist lists) who agree completely with the basic tenets of evolutionary biology. As Steves represent only 1% of the population, this means that, at minimum, about 88,000 scientists would be expected to sign this statement, as compared to the about 500 (many of whom are dubious in their scientific credentials) who have signed the statements supporting creationism.
Why do scientists think the earth is the only planet to support human life as you know it?
Scientists consider Earth to be unique in supporting human life due to its ideal distance from the sun, the presence of water in liquid form, a protective atmosphere, and a diverse range of ecosystems. Other planets in our solar system do not have these conditions necessary for human life to exist.
Why were many scientists drawn to universities during the scientific revolution?
Universities would allow scientists to investigate their theories even if they contradicted Catholic teachings.
Why do people ignore scientists earthquake predictions?
Reason 1 - Many people do not want to accept that the scientists may be right, they want to stay as positive as they can. Reason 2 - Many scientists have been wrong many times before in the past, people may not want to waste their time evacuating or worrying for nothing (boy who cried wolf).
How many scientists believe in creationism?
According to a 2009 Pew Research Center survey, about 33 of scientists in the United States believe in creationism.
How many pages does Creationism's Trojan Horse have?
Creationism's Trojan Horse has 416 pages.
Are faith and science contradictory?
They need not be contradictory. If you believe that God formed our world slowly through old-Earth Creationism, or if you scientifically determine that young-Earth Creationism is the most logical origin for the universe, your belief in God and your scientific knowledge can actually support each other. Many think that science, and specifically Evolution, have proved that there is no God. They don't comprehend that even if Evolution was an unquestionable fact, it would not automatically follow that God isn't there. They also may be unaware that there are some highly-qualified scientists who do not believe in Evolution.
Why does evolution disprove creationism?
Creationism basically promotes an essentialist notion: the notion that life is static and lifeforms unchanging. The facts show that life is continually diverging, stemming from common ancestors. This disproves the notion of special creation of modern lifeforms, and the notion that such lifeforms are essentially unchanging.

Is it a bad idea to tell someone their religion is false?
Nope. Some people will handle this differently than others. While some may listen to your points, others may argue against your points. Debates are healthy for us humans and promote self-learning, whether you support religion or science (there are many famous scientists who believe in a god but reject things like creationism).
Do any qualified scientists support the creation theory?
Prior to reading the answers below, it is perhaps important to note that there is no 'creation theory'. There are various religious creation myths, but no comprehensive and robust scientific model that has any explanatory or predictive power.Answer: Quite a few scientists support creation theory. This places them out of step with the mainstream scientists who believe in autobiogenesis, or a spontaneous origin of life, coupled with evolution. As Richard Dawkins put it "It is a monumental disagreement. One side or the other has got to be wrong, and not just slightly wrong but catastrophically, ignominiously, disastrously wrong."Prior to the 20th Century, most scientists believed in Creation.Today, there are numerous organizations of scientists who support creation theory: Answers in Genesis ; Creation Research, Science Education Foundation; Institute for Creation Research; The Creation SuperLibrary and others. Some publish peer-reviewed journals, such as the Creation Research Society's CRS Journal and the Journal of Creation by Creation Ministries International (The Australian arm of Answers in Genesis).Answer While it is true that many "scientists" disagree with evolution in favor of creationism, that number drops significantly when you consider only those who study nature or life, and is almost non-existent when you consider only those with expertise in fields like biology, paleontology, geology or astronomy - the above list may seem impressive, but it is out of well over a hundred thousand PhD scientists alive today. Now it's also important to note that many scientists believe in some sort of god or creator, but are not creationists. Creationism generally refers to strict 6-day creation fundamentalism or the movement to teach that there is a god in science classes in public schools. About 60% of scientists believe in a personal god, many believe this god created life indirectly, which can be considered a different sort of creationism. Meanwhile about 99.85% of earth and life scientists (those same scientists who mostly believe in a personal god) accept evolution as well.Answer Yes, quite a few actually. Many scientists and researchers have come to support the creation theory because as they study 'Creation -vs- Evolution' they have found that there are more 'holes' in the evolution theory than there are in 'Creation'.Both Creationism and Evolution start with presuppositions. Evolution starts with the presupposition that God, if He exists, played no part in the development of species, but that they developed by macro-evolution or chance mutations that resulted in benefit to the organisms; Creationism presumes that He created all species, and that there are minor adaptions which occur naturally, called micro-evolution.
