Actually if one is going to an authority one would discriminate based on credentials. This is very reasonable discrimination. Do you look to a doctor for health care? Why not a janitor?
And there are a strange number of creationists with questionable credentials:
http://talkorigins.org/faqs/credentials.htmlMy particular favorite is Hovind who claims to have a PhD from a ranch style house.
Now, perhaps some of these folks do have something to say that is intelligent, but lying about their credentials is a pretty good way to get dismissed.

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.
Actually the consensus is overwhelming. If I walked over to the bio department and asked who questioned evolution I'd be laughed at. Because some people are loud doesn't mean they are serious individuals.

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.
That is an assertion in desperate need of evidence.

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.
Actually, they are ignorant because they aren't doing science. Have you notice the utter lack of any scientific theory associated with creationism?
