Well what do you say about these people?

C'mon wolfie, how many times do we have to go through this? The statement being supported is that purely random selection cannot easily account for everything we can presently observe about evolutionary theory--which is now true, and always has been true, ever since it was conceded by Darwin, and is also true about every other natural science theory. Since the dawn of micro-biology, many mechanisms, other than random selection, to produce genetic changes have been discovered. The fact is, that most of these signatories would not, if asked, (and some were, and that includes Behe, under oath) claim that evolutionary theory isn't the basic operating procedure by which species are produced--they claim, like most scientists who are on top of things biological, that the story is far from complete, as yet.

You're making a mountain out of a gopher hole. But there's nothing new about that, is there?

Here is part of their position statement. I sympathize with their skepticism and suggestions thats all.

“We are skeptical of claims for the ability of random mutation and natural selection to account for the complexity of life. Careful examination of the evidence for Darwinian theory should be encouraged.”
