Point one is ridiculous mainly because you try to point out that Creation Scientists have no credentials, which is plainly not true and IS an unreasonable discirimination. Then you try to say that science is a majority vote! You seem to have this view that scientists are all completely convinced about evolution. Not so. Many evolutionists admit that their own field is devoid of evidence for evolution. So consensus around evolution is probably not as extreme as you may assume.
Point two is a position that I don't think too many people hold, so it is not worth discussion.
Actually, I don't think too many people hold either of your points:
Point 3: Have studied a great deal on the subject of life and have come to the conclusion that evolution is not very plausible, which is an opinion that is held by many intelligent Creation scientists and even some evolutionists.
I believe more people would be able to say they are with point 3. Of course you don't like this point because it shows that Creation Scientists (and all creationists) can be reasonable, so I'm sure you will start yelling about the fallacies of my point. I don't care, it's not worth my time. If you are going to dismiss all Creationists as ignorant merely because they don't agree with you, than debating with you on this matter would surely be a waste of my time.

Which aspects of evolution do you find implausible ?
All of evolutionary theory, just parts of it ?
What aspects of evolutionary theory lack supporting evidence, in your
opinion ?
I believe the original post was deliberately controversial to
make a point and gaurantee some responses. It was also relating
to individuals who 'dismiss evolution' not those who argue reasonably
about its accuracy.
