Do any qualified scientists support the creation theory?

Answer: Yes.

Quite a few scientists support creation theory. This places them out of step with the mainstream scientists who believe in autobiogenesis, or a spontaneous origin of life, coupled with evolution. As Richard Dawkins put it "It is a monumental disagreement. One side or the other has got to be wrong, and not just slightly wrong but catastrophically, ignominiously, disastrously wrong."

Not all of the scientists who support creation theory are willing to admit it for fear of critcism - or worse. Some qualified contemporary scientists who support it are listed below.

Note: Much of the following list is taken from Creation Ministries International.

^{* Some of the people on this list are recently deceased.}

Note that a great many of the above listed scientists are specialists in Biology, Molecular Biology, Microbiology, Bio-chemistry, Organic Chemistry, Genetics, Archaelogy and Palaeontology, or Reproductive Physiology.

Prior to the 20th Century, most scientists believed in Creation.

Today, there are numerous organizations of scientists who support creation theory: Answers in Genesis; Creation Research, Science Education Foundation; Institute for Creation Research; The Creation SuperLibrary and others. Some publish peer-reviewed journals, such as the Creation Research Society's CRS Journal and the Journal of Creation by Creation Ministries International.
