jla: This is an outright lie. Would you care to verify it? Especially that "almost to a person" claim.
I'll give you your choice: you can take it as an indication that I am working 7-day weeks with very long hours (which I am) and don't have enough time for FReeping, or an indication that I missed your post at first and then didn't think it worth a response when I finally did read it.
But I'll throw you a bone: someone on this thread pointed to a list of 30 scientists who dissent from evolution as proof that the theory is in trouble. Against that I offer a list of 755 scientists named Steve who signed their names to a very strong statement of acceptance of evolution: "...there is no serious scientific doubt that evolution occurred or that natural selection is a major mechanism in its occurrence."
Taking into account the prevalence of the name "Steve" in the population as a whole, this is equivalent to a list of over 75000 scientists. That's better than 2000 times larger than the list of 30 evolution dissenters we've been offered.
And before you say that that's not good enough, try demonstrating that degree of unanimity in favor of any position of any kind that you agree with.
