Has also written several articles, such as “Evolution by Epigenesis: Farewell to Darwinism, Neo- and Otherwise,” published in the pseudojournal “Rivista di Biologia”, in which he laments the conspiracies among scientists and granting agencies for failing to realize that his views on epigenesis creates a new "paradigm shift" in biology.

|Barnard, Geoff
|CMI, DI
|Medicine
|Senior Research Scientist, Department of Veterinary Medicine, University of Cambridge, though he lists himself as an immunologist & immunochemist.http://creation.com/dr-geoff-barnard According to his group's Statement of Faith,http://www.biblicalcreationministries.org.uk/b/index.php/statement-of-faith Dr. Barnard bases his belief in creation on the Bible, not empirical evidence. Seems to be retired, though he did some research back in the days. Currently on the “Scientific Panel” of the British creationist organization Truth in Science. Has claimed that “[n]o apparent, perceived, or claimed evidence in any historical or scientific field of study can be valid if it contradicts the record of Holy Scripture,” which hardly counts as a particularly scientific dissent from anything. A doctor of medicine, not related to evolution or a young earth. Science be damned!

|Barnes, Thomas
|Ex-CMI
|Physics
|Honorary AB, Hardin-Simmons University, 1933. MS, Physics, Brown University. Honorary Sc.D., Hardin-Simmons University, 1950. Working with an obsolete model of the earth's core, Dr. Barnes asserted that the earth's magnetic field is decaying exponentially, ignoring empirical evidence to the contrary. Working under these erroneous assertions, he somehow managed to arrive at his predetermined conclusions. Also a firm denier of relativity. Deceased in 2001. Removed from the CMI list as of the 29 October 2014 version.

His more recent research, at least, is published in pseudojournals. Legendary young earth creationist and key member of RATE who has devoted his life to proving that the Noachian Flood actually happened."Back in 1978 I felt strongly led to go back to graduate school and get professional credentials to work on the problem of what happened to the Earth in the flood. As part of my Ph.D. research, I developed a three-dimensional model for the Earth's interior called Terra.The Wikipedia page notes that this model was developed in order to model the Global Flood. Today it is recognized as the most capable code computer model of its type in the world. Currently NASA is funding this effort as one of their nine grand challenge projects in high performance computing for the next three years, it's recognized as a unique tool for understanding the dynamics of the mantle of the Earth."http://www.rae.org/pdf/believe.pdf

|Beloussov, Lev
|DI
|Biology
|Honorary professor of Embryology, Moscow State University. Seems to have signed the list because of his adherence to the discredited theory of Morphogenetic fields, which was big in the 1920, as being responsible for evolution (not because of any adherence to creationism). Real crackpot, whose main schtick is the idea of “biofields” (as in Biofield flower therapy), and who has defended all sorts of woo.He has, for instance, contributed to the anthology Life and Mind, which defends homeopathy, water memory, biofields, and the idea that “human intent […] may affect cellular equilibrium”. He has quite a few publications, at least some of which are in pseudojournals (e.g. Rivista di biologia).

Honorary Doctorate for his contributions in space research. He is often introduced as "Dr. Otto E. Berg", a retired "astrophysicist", "particle physicist", or generic "engineer" from NASA (all of which sound very prestigious).http://frederickcreationsociety.org/Previous%20Discussions_files/2008.htm and http://frederickcreationsociety.org/Previous%20Discussions_files/2005.htmhttp://www.rae.org/pdf/darwinskeptics.pdf The reality is more mundane: Dr. Berg was a particle physicist, worked on dust particles in the solar system,https://scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=en&q=otto+e+berg&btnG=&as_sdt=1%2C21&as_sdtp= and designed & built the dust accelerator at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC).www.csharp.com/creationism.ppt He is a member of the Institute for Creation Research.
