Jumped in semi-blind and this one caught my eye.
First, I agree with the posters who see your list of quotes as insignificant. They present the same teleological/ontological etc. arguments that have been tried and have failed; and have done so for literally centuries. Those aren't tests and they aren't evidence of anything.
So. On to this.
There is no "viewpoint", really, There is only where the evidence leads; and the evidence supporting Big Bang, and Evolution is utterly overwhelming. Abiogenesis? Working on that one! But the evidence supporting Creationism? Nada. None, Zilch, Zero. The "idea" that there is some kind of "controversy"; or that we are "seeing the same evidence and interpreting it differently" or "Its a matter of viewpoint" are catch phrases of the Creationist Fundamentalist Extremist LIteralist Apologist who bring nothing to the table.
It is also called "SEDI", same evidence, different
interpretation.
The below is what you know perfectly well, i just
feel like sayng it.
It is often the case that with partial, ambiguous data
that there is vigorous competition among various
interpretations.
At one time it was believed that dinosaurs walked
with legs spraddled, like an alligator.
Someone pointed out that they'd have to walk in
ditches to do that!
AS more data, more study goes into any controversial
discovery, the interpretations tend to narrow down to
one, with the others being falsified.
The SEDI folks never take that into account.
Sure there are scientists who are yecs, say.
Their big problem is not getting kicked out if they
admit it as per creo-propaganda, but, a lack of
data.
