Most of them belonged to another church that accepts physical evolution also: Catholics or Lutherins.

Silly boy - many of them predate Darwin. Newton, Kepler, Copernicus, Galileo, and here are some other scientists who made big discoveries PRE-darwin: William Herschel (discoverred Uranus), John Flamsteed (map of the stars), Jean DeLuc (geology), James Parkinson (who named the disease), John Dalton (atomic theory), Ben Franklin (check out his speech at Const. convention), Robert Boyle (father of modern chemistry), Blaise Pascal (mathematician).

Now here some contemporary with Darwin who didn't buy his crappy theory: Lord Kelvin (has his own temperrature scale), James Maxwell (physics - kinetic theory of gases), John Ambrose Fleming (pioneered electronics), joseph Lister (antiseptic surgery), and Louis Pasteur (heard of him?). In addition, 717 scientists (including 86 members of the Royal Society) signed a manifesto called "The Declaration of Students of teh natural and Physical Sciences" in 1864 that affirmed their confidence in the bile's scientific integrity.

Welp, that settles it for me, God is not powerful enough to make Evolution. Protestantism wins.

Just out of curiosity, did you bother to read the article? I think not.

But all of those men believed in the scientific method and acted as scientists. People who try to cram faith into science (such as Creationists) do not.
