Isn't it possible that the religious bent of these scientists is the RESULT of scientific discovery?
​
Maybe, but it never has been.
​
Every creationist who used to be a scientist became a Christian first, and then was convinced that the Bible had to be literally true if their faith was to have validity.
​
In other words, what you claim has never been the case - the "evidence" for creationism has never convinced anyone but those who had already decided they had to believe it.
​
You're free to try to prove me wrong, though. Find a bio where it was the evidence and not the dogma that convinced a biologist.

That's a terrible analogy, because stone archs are the product of intelligent design........
​
Not the ones we're talking about. You think that maybe little invisible men carved this one out?
​
​
Or this one?

Or this one?

​
It's a great analogy, because there's so many IC bridges that are the result of nothing more than natural processes of erosion.
​
Therefore, I don't see how anyone can whole heartedly support the idea that certain components of an IC system just HAPPENED to evolve side by side.
​
We don't. We assert that they were retasked from other systems. The reason we assert this is because it is proven by observation and experimentation.
