Ok, I bit. Despite the fact that your list of "dissenters" is useless, I checked on a couple guys. The first guy (schaeffer) accepts evolution, but not all of it. Fair enough for a Physical Chemist.

The 2nd guy (Higworth) is interesting. I know him (indirectly) and I've forwarded your link on to him for his response. I'll keep you posted.

..skipped a couple..

We all know Behe. He's a professor of BioChem, not biology per se, but that's a mere quibble. His personal agenda ($$) is well known and makes him look silly. Scientists don't report findings in mass market books. They do it in peer reviewed journals.

The last guy I checked was Hearn (Ph.D. in biochemistry, University of Illinois). Impressive. However, currently he
is professor of science and Christianity at New College for Advanced Christian Studies in Berkeley, California.

Moot point? It would be if your Adobe file didn't include this interesting caveat at the bottom: "Scientists listed by doctoral degree or current position." In Hearn's case, I think the choice for them to print was fairly obvious.

No need for the Steve's to engage in such duplicity.

Far from thinking "evilution is bunk," Walter Hearn is a notorious (among creationists) Theistic Evolutionist.

Hearn was an important figure in the American Scientific Affiliation, a professional organization of evangelical Christian scientists. The modern "creationist" movement took shape back in the 60's when Henry Morris and a number of other members bolted the ASA (in protest of its liberal stance on evolution -- although many ASA'ers were progressive creationists -- and "geological ages") and established the Creation Research Society.

Getting desperate, are we MM?
