Creationist sites and their organizations, AiG, etc, have their own motives, motives that drive a strong tendency to twist the truth to suit their own needs, to bolster the belief in special creation, the existence of a God, and the validity of their world view. A faith based set of beliefs. By misrepresenting the facts of evolution and the level of agreement within the scientific community, they are targeting those with a fairly rudimentary understanding of science in general, and evolution in particular.
Their literature is designed to appeal to the emotional needs of their readers by offering alternative explanations in regard to science and evolution that satisfy the casual reader, who is not well versed in the science, and sell their message and gain followers.
''Of the scientists and engineers in the United States, only about 5% are creationists, according to a 1991 Gallup poll (Robinson 1995, Witham 1997). However, this number includes those working in fields not related to life origins (such as computer scientists, mechanical engineers, etc.). Taking into account only those working in the relevant fields of earth and life sciences, there are about 480,000 scientists, but only about 700 believe in "creation-science" or consider it a valid theory (Robinson 1995). This means that less than 0.15 percent of relevant scientists believe in creationism. And that is just in the United States, which has more creationists than any other industrialized country.
In other countries, the number of relevant scientists who accept creationism drops to less than one tenth of 1 percent.
One needs to examine not how many scientists and professors believe something, but what their conviction is based upon. Most of those who reject evolution do so because of personal religious conviction, not because of evidence. The evidence supports evolution. And the evidence, not personal authority, is what objective conclusions should be based on.
Often, claims that scientists reject evolution or support creationism are exaggerated or fraudulent. Many scientists doubt some aspects of evolution, especially recent hypotheses about it. All good scientists are skeptical about evolution (and everything else) and open to the possibility, however remote, that serious challenges to it may appear. Creationists frequently seize such expressions of healthy skepticism to imply that evolution is highly questionable. They fail to understand that the fact that evolution has withstood many years of such questioning really means it is about as certain as facts can get.'' http://www.talkorigins.org/indexcc/CA/CA111.html
