"However, the more I read about evolution, there is really no firm evidence to back it up."

You should not only read creationism papers.


"There is a large and growing number of sciences who are very skeptical of the evolution theory."

Oh yes! I read about 400 scientist. Very large number. And today 401.


"These are the curious scientists, who will look at new evidence, and are not stuck in the past."

One of these "curious scientists" developed the theory of evolution. The ID idea is rather old. Just look it up in your bible in case you got one. First book...

I think perhaps you are only looking at old information. Please start reading new information. Curious scientists do that. All scientists should be curious.

Besides the more than 400 scientists that do not believe in the evolution theory that you probably heard about, or are skeptical, here are more:

About 700 scientists from Africa, Europe and the United States attended Saturday's "Darwin and Design" conference to press their contention that evolution cannot fully explain the origins of life or the emergence of highly complex species.
"It is a step beyond Darwin," said Carole Thaxton of Atlanta, a biologist who lived with her husband, Charles, in Prague in the 1990s and was one of the organizers of the event.
"The point is to show that there in fact is intelligence in the universe," she said. The participants, who included experts in mathematics, molecular biology and biochemistry, "are all people who independently came to the same conclusion," she said.

P.S. 700 is included in the title of this thread alone, so I don't know why you think it's only 401. 700 + 401 = 1101. :)
