For those who do not accept evolution and have a college education?

Have you completed a year of biology in an accredited college?

Update:

Please don't tell me about others who have taken biology, I want to know if YOU have taken the core biology sequence.

Update 2:

Buddy R.: The question is about evolution, not origination of our universe.

Update 3:

So far, not one anti-evolutionist here has taken college core biology courses. They all seem to just dig up stuff from Creationist web sites.

    Yes, I am an electrical/muclear engineer.

    The idea of a self creating univers violates the laws of thermodynamics and so must be rejected. It is impossible for something to come into being from absolute nothing with absolutely no cause.

    And inanimate matter has never ever been observed to begin to live.

    Here's 893 scientists, mostly biologists, named STEVE, who accept evolution.

    Furthermore, science isn't a popularity contest. Facts aren't voted on. They are supported by evidence. A list of people who have managed to get science degrees but choose their religious belief over scientific evidence doesn't support the creationist position.

    The evidence supports gradual evolution, common descent, a 4.5 billion year old Earth, and a 14 billion year old universe, that began at a single point of spacetime.

    Creationists don't do science. They don't come up with testable hypotheses and then experiment to determine if they're right. They just look for excuses not to accept evolution, and none of those excuses withstands scrutiny. As was determined at the Dover trial, Intelligent Design is religion, not science.

    You can believe what you like, but if your holy book written by a nomadic desert tribe of goatherds over 2000 years ago contradicts reality, then reality isn't the problem.

    Just to let you know that here in the USA it is not a requirement in all colleges.

    I didn't have to take biology. I could have taken any other natural science like geology, earth science, botany, etc. I just took it because I liked the teacher who taught it. He's like 100 years old and he had more energy than any person in that 200 occupancy lecture hall.

    EDIT: Wow Buddy! To be a Muclear engineer you sure know very little about the difference among the theory of evolution and abiogenesis and the Big Bang Theory.

    Yes. But I first learned about evolution in my first year of high school.

    First guy is completely wrong because life has come from non-life. Harvard created the world's first synthetic cell earlier this year.

    Buddy R is being a bit disingenuous. I know of no physcists who say the universe created itself. Close to 100 percent say they are atheists. I am a bit suspicious of his answer, ignoring the Miller-Urey and more important Sidney Fox experiments.

    My father was an applied physicist/aerospace engineer who was a cultural Christian, but he didn't spend much time with the Bible. Much more time with his scientific journals.

    Caveat: the "scientists" at the ICR, such as Duane Gish have not worked in their fields for decades. They are evangelists. They use arguments against evolution that are up to 100 years old.

    I know someone with a masters in biology who works in broadcasting. He does not call himself a biologist.
