Re: So what?
That doesn't really answer his question though, does it?
There is no doubt that there are a small number of succesful, intelligent and productive scientists who none-the-less are creationists. How?
Personally, I think it lies in the fact that people are, at heart, irrational. I suspect it is very difficult to find even one person who does not hold at least one irrational belief; yet, the existence of such a belief does not comprimise their ability in other areas.
