First off, they were not all Ph.D.s Secondly, the question they were asked and the one that appeared above their names were subtley, but specifically different. It was a classic "bait-and-switch." Creationists are renowned for such underhanded tactics, which begs the question: if their position is so good, why do they have to resort to subterfuge.

First off, they were not all Ph.D.s

Here was the quote from the article(I guess PHD level is somewhat different?)

Recently, 400 Ph.D.-level scientists, including a distinguished embryologist and member of the Russian Academy of Sciences, signed a statement questioning the creative power of the natural selection/mutation mechanism.

Secondly, the question they were asked and the one that appeared above their names were subtley, but specifically different.

What were they actually asked?

How many Ph.D.s have not signed that little statement?
