There are a lot of scientists who believe in creationism. I think more and more are questioning the theory of evolution. I sure hope so. I have a friend who teaches creationism in high school. He gives lectures on the subject and it's always interesting and amazing.

Yes, this is the latest creationist tactic/obfuscation. Go to one of your websites and forward us the list. But I must warn you, several of your "scientists" will be shown to be frauds and/or misleading. Others will have degrees from non biology fields. But at any rate, who cares? There's always going to be a tiny percentage of loons within a set of people. (ie. Log Cabins Repubs). There may be a couple hundred "scientists" who have problems with evolution... which accounts for an incredibly tiny portion of scientists. A statistically insignificant amount, to be sure.

As for you friend who is busy warping young minds, I'll agree... I too, find it "amazing" that his conscience allows him to spew his nonsense to unknowing kids.

I can remember the lists of scientists that the ICR and AiG and others toss out there of "scientists who doubt evolution". I think that Project Steve" is an appropriate response to those claims. Project Steve is a list of scientists (named Steve, obviously) who agree that evolution is a viable scientific theory. 220+ Steves, to be exact. If you go with the logic that 1 out of 100 men is named Steve (an over estimate?), than there are tens of thousands of scientists who support evolution, compared to the few hundreds who AiG regularly compiles.

The point behind Project Steve is to show that the ICR and AiG lists are fallacies. Science is not a democracy (or any political system for that matter), however, evidence is king. And right now, the evidence points toward evolution (a blend of Punctuated Equilibrium and Gradualism, to be exact).
