If you are a Young-Earth Creationist, accept the water canopy theory, do not accept speciation (i.e. Ken Hams kinds), and want on my Six Days Ping List, Freepmail me.
Man made Global Warming and Darwism fall into the same category. Neither can be proved.
Huge news - they're still calling it a theory!
According to the link below, over 700 scientists named Steve support evolution. Such lists are useless. This list of 600 isn't even news, and is quite an old list. Few of the scientists on it are even involved in the biological sciences.
Finally, the Theory of Evolution isn't a popularity contest.

They can't be real sientists then.</ Sarcasm>
Just saving a little time for the Darwinists.
Hats off to Ann of this one.
What Darwin proposed was HYPOTHESIS, trying to make sense out of what to some would be hopeless chaos.
Evolution, as proposed, would result in an inordinate number of deaths within a species, before the mutated form became dominant, or the unlikely case in which the mutation was a dominate trait, in which case there would still be a small number of recessives still being born every generation.
Still a strong argument for an extraterrestrial (ir supernatural)intelligence stepping in and directing specific genetic transformations.
If scientists question evolution, (A) they aren't really scientists (because, if they were, they would support evolution, because all scientists support evolution), or, if they are, (B) it isn't a popularity contest.

This easy to fix. Any scientist expressing doubts about Darwin is excommunicated by the holy order of the scientific community. Therefore no "scientists" have any doubts about Darwin.
Believe what you want! Teach creation in church where it belongs and evolution in science class where it belongs.
Heretics!
I have problems with parthenogenesis, but not evolution. It seems, from the article, many of the complaints are about parthenogenesis, the creation of life from that which was not life.
I would like to know how many of these scientists are biologists, geologists, or paleontologists. I'm not impressed that a dentist or psychologist doesn't believe in evolution.
> More than 600 scientists holding doctoral degrees ...
... in what? That is kind of important.
I wonder how many biologists were among them. This looks like a rehash of the long-discredited "400 scientists" canard. Of course, Project Steve has 744 scientists named "Steve" saying evolution is a well-supported theory. Since people named "Steve" represent about 1 percent of the population, it's evident that 74,400 scientists support evolution.
Betcha World Nut Daily doesn't report that.
Actual philosophers tend to discuss philosophy, although sometimes they get into more personal things such as Schopenhauer wondering why Hegel attracted most of the students and he, Schopenhauer, did not. Principle of sufficient reason.
PBS = WDNC; the suckers basically hand their donor rolls straight over to the DNC and our tax dollars pay for it. Unbelievable.
He's right. Some do however need to know a little about evolution. Especially those studing viruses.
I wonder if this dude plans to get a vaccination shot for the flu this year.
Nice to know a pathologist, from an independent university no less, has signed the dissent list.
Desperate times for the DI when they have to resort to WorldNetDaily to carry their water for them.
Just wait until they translate the "Dissent From Darwinism" statement into Arabic, Farsi, Punjabi and other Islamic languages. Then it will really explode. (Figuratively... I hope.)
Seriously, however, I'm a full-bore Darwinian evolutionist and I would be able to sign this statement. (Where it not for the political agenda behind it.) It doesn't actually contradict Darwinism, since Darwinian evolution has always included more mechanisms than natural selection and random mutation.
