Probably something along the lines of, "Our 300 voices outweigh the voices of several hundred thousand other scientists who understand that evolution is an established fact."

Many scientists, no doubt, choose to not express their religious beliefs, or disbelief of Darwinism, due to the backlash they would receive from their peers.

And another thing - a theory can't be a fact. I would venture to guess that nearly 100% of scientists would tell you that.

Doubtful. Scientists love to blab and argue... over things that there is actual doubt about.

Uh-huh. Like the "theory or relativity?" I look forward to your after-action reports from when you try to argue with a nuclear bomb that it can't be a fact.

As a young Navy man I studied "the theory of electronics", does that mean that electronics is not real and radios don't work? You and millions of others need to get a grip on the meaning of the word theory, hint, it is not what you think it is.
Your argument reminds me of people who laugh when someone calls a spider an animal, as if arachnids were not animals, you simply are displaying your own unawareness of the real meaning of the word.
