This is a list of at least 513 scientists and researchers named Steve that signed on to the following statement.

Evolution is a vital, well-supported, unifying principle of the biological sciences, and the scientific evidence is overwhelmingly in favor of the idea that all living things share a common ancestry. Although there are legitimate debates about the patterns and processes of evolution, there is no serious scientific doubt that evolution occurred or that natural selection is a major mechanism in its occurrence. It is scientifically inappropriate and pedagogically irresponsible for creationist pseudoscience, including but not limited to "intelligent design," to be introduced into the science curricula of our nation's public schools.

Note that, unlike the other list, the Project Steve list carries full current titles, and includes only scientists; I suspect some of the Ph.D.s on the other list are bagging groceries. On the other hand, Project Steve has 8 (count 'em!) members of the National Academy of Sciences.

Even despite the decision to restrict the list to a very tiny subset of scientists, I do believe Project Steve's lead over the creationists is now unbeatable.

Actually 570 Steve's (as of 5/23/05). Click the Steve-o-meter link at this page. ;)

I thought that the creationists who touted the "300 scientists" list said that Project Steve didn't count for reasons that I can't quite recall but I suspect ultimately boil down to "I don't like them".
