The term "royal disease" refers to hemophilia, a genetic disorder that affects the blood's ability to clot. It became known as such because it was notably present in European royal families, particularly in the British royal family due to Queen Victoria's carrier status. German scientists contributed to the understanding of this condition through medical research, helping to identify its genetic basis and inheritance patterns. The disease's prevalence among royals highlights the impact of genetics and inheritance in historical contexts.

What percentage of eminent scientists believe in Biblical narration of Creation?

To answer this question, we should start by establishing how many scientists believe in a personal god, because the number who literally believe in creation must be somewhat smaller than this. * In 1998, a study by Larson and Witham appeared on the leading journal Nature ("Leading scientists still reject God"), showing that of the American scientists who had been elected to the National Academy of Sciences, only about 7 percent believein a personal god. * A study in Britain, undertaken by R. Elisabeth Cornwell and Michael Stirrat, involved sending a questionnaire to all 1,074 Fellows of the Royal Society who possessed an email address, offering several propositions and asking the scientists to rank their beliefs on that point from 1 to 7. About 23 percent responded and preliminary results indicate that, of these, 3.3 percent agreed strongly (chose 7) and 78.8 percent disagreed strongly (chose 1) that a personal god exists. A total of 12 Fellows chose 6 or 7 to indicate that they were believers. So, in the United States, 7 percent of eminent scientists believe in God. In Britain, just under 5 percent of eminent scientists believe in God. A lesser proportion would believe in creation.
