Also, the credentials of the scientists came under fire. A very accomplished scientist is the First Name on the List.

I believe he was called a "crackpot" and a "crank" by a couple of the evo's.

Henry F. Schaefer III was born in Grand Rapids, Michigan in 1944. He received his B.S. degree in chemical physics from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (1966) and Ph.D. degree in chemical physics from Stanford University (1969). For 18 years (1969-1987) he served as a professor of chemistry at the University of California, Berkeley. During the 1979-1980 academic year he was also Wilfred T. Doherty Professor of Chemistry and inaugural Director of the Institute for Theoretical Chemistry at the University of Texas, Austin. Since 1987 Dr. Schaefer has been Graham Perdue Professor of Chemistry and Director of the Center for Computational Quantum Chemistry at the University of Georgia. His other academic appointments include Professeur d'Echange at the University of Paris (1977), Gastprofessur at the Eidgenossische Technische Hochshule (ETH), Zurich (1994, 1995, 1997, 2000, 2002), and David P. Craig Visiting Professor at the Australian National University (1999). He is the author of more than 950 scientific publications, the majority appearing in the Journal of Chemical Physics or the Journal of the American Chemical Society.

Second name on the list of dissenting scientists:

Dr. Sigworth

"How do I see the scientific enterprise? An old book puts it this way: one generation commends God's works to another. It is a great privilege to unravel the workings of ion channels, and to pass on the excitement about these molecular machines to students, colleagues and anyone else who will listen!"

Stanford University (1969-1971), Electrical Engineering California Institute of Technology (1971-1974), Applied Physics. Concentrated on semiconductor physics with Professor C.A. Mead as advisor. Received B.S. with honor, 1974. Graduate study at the University of Washington (1974-1975) and at Yale University (1975-1979) under C.F. Stevens, working on conductance fluctuations in nerve membrane. Received Ph.D. from Yale in 1979. Post-Doctoral Fellow of the Alexander von Humboldt Stiftung (1979-1981), and continued as a Research Associate (1981-1984) in the laboratory of E. Neher at the Max Planck Institute for Biophysical Chemistry, Göttingen, Germany.
