"Firstly that list of 400 is not mostly biologists. Secondly the exact statement that they signed up to is one that any scientist could say about any scientific theory. Thirdly it is possible to doubt natural selection as the sole mechanism for evolution without doubting for example common descent. Now, have you got that delegate list, given the poverty of the 400 so far I'd be really interested in seeing who went to the prague conference."
1) I never said they were mostly biologists.
2) I am glad that these 400 scientists are open minded, rather than blindly believing Darwin's theory. I wish the scientists that are stuck on believing evolution would be more curious, too.
3) Already told you in a previous thread that I did not have the credentials of the 700. Am I supposed to have it? Have you done a search yourself?
4) "poverty of the 400" - sounds like some kind of pseudo put down to discredit them. Don't you like scientists who are open-minded, and look to new information, rather than being stuck in the past?
No matter, their exact field of relevance is still important however, and to get to 400 they had to include MDs, dentists, computer scientists, particle physicists, philosophers etc

Who says they aren't curious. Show us the evidence that they should be examining that undermines 150 years of sucessful predictions by ToE. Show us the successful predictions and startling insights that ID has led to. Oh sorry, 10,000 years is too soon to expect any results from religion-centred beliefs. The IDers need more time...

If you want me to take them seriously I'd like to know who they are. You haven't told me anything about them in a previous thread, so you must be mistaking me for someone else.

The idea that is stuck in the past is creationism in its many forms, that include ID. It is about 10,000 years old and has so far produced no results of any value. All the achievements of science in the last 400 years come out of methodological naturalism.
