Except for the more recent scientists named, I suspect the original author got the list from Scott Huse's _The Collapse of Evolution_. This incredible piece of work contains as an appendix "Scientific Disciplines and Contributions by Creationist Scientists." Of the 49 entries in that list, eleven scientists are represented more than once (for example, Pasteur, three times; Newton, four times; Lord Kelvin, three times), reducing the total individuals in the list to 33. Of those 33, 12 died prior to the publication of _The Origin of Species_, further reducing the number to 21. The youngest listed (Lord Rayleigh) died in 1919. Hardly representitive of current thinking on evolution. This list, as presented, is misleading to a casual (and uninformed) reader. It gives the false impression that a great many scientists support creationism when in fact they do not.
