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

Why do some scientists say the creation story is made up?
Scientists who contend that the biblical story of creation is false are following the philosophy of naturalism which specifically excludes creation as something which can be considered. This is rather interesting in the light of modern science which developed in an era where people believed in God and so also believed in as a consequence an orderly universe which could be understood and studied. In more recent times some scientists have sought to use the unscientific philosophy of naturalism which explicitly excludes the creator, when science cannot disprove God by any endeavor deemed to be scientific. Other scientists, although certainly in a minority, do not find any conflict whatsoever between the facts of science and creation. These scientists do not regard the creation story as made up. This demonstrates it is a philosophical position which causes people to regard the creatin story as made up. It is also a philosophical statement, not a scientific one to regard certain things as facts which are not at ll proven but which are open to question and debate such as the age of the earth. It is explicitly the alleged age of the earth, which in recent times has had much contrary evidence brought against it, which is open to question by such data but which is used to call into the question the view that the earth was created by God around 6000 years ago.
