Question

Are there anthropologists who are also creationists?

Answer 1

None of whom I'm aware.  There are though many religious Anthropologists.

Answer 2

yes

Answer 3

I can't imagine a person educated in such a discipline would be a creationist; on the other hand, not all people in a particular field of endeavor, are competent. Considering this I'd have to say the odds are that Yes, there must be at least a few incompetent Anthropologists who may be creationists.

"Truth", after all, "is stranger than fiction".

I even met a microbiologist who was a creationist and he gave me what he hoped was a biological reason for the belief.

I explained to him that his defense of creation was admirable and the most well spoken one I had heard. I also explained to him the danger in creating a postulation with a major flaw in the basic assumption. He merely smiled and politely dismissed me as a heretic. lol

Answer 4

Indeed there are! I was taught by 2 Anthropology Phds who were also Creationists. They both stated there is no problem with a 'creationist' answer to the way things evolved...evolution didn't have to happen in 7 days, and exactly what was a 'day' in those times?

Answer 5

Yeah, but we're still waiting for 30 billion year old, pre-creation data to arrive! Nothing yet!

Answer 6

LoL, the previous answerer will get that data someday. I would hope there is a unspoken agreement to: Don't ask, don't tell.  Those guys have other issues to fight over besides religion but I doubt there are alot of 6 day creationist in the field.
