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.

This is a woeful update of the Discovery Institute's pathetic list of 500 evolution skeptics, of whom about one-third were said to be biologists. It seems they've found a hundred more clowns. The whole sad thing was analyzed in point 4 of my lead article at the start of this thread: Conclusions From Uncounted Creation/Evolution Debates. The conclusion was: The actual comparison is 46,600 biologists who accept evolution and a mere 154 who are "skeptical."

The creationists and other anti-science types have to keep hope alive somehow, even if it's all based on a pack of lies.

The fact that five-hundred scientists with a Ph.D. in engineering, mathematics, computer science, biology, chemistry, or one of the other natural sciences are willing to publicly dissent from the establishment view of evolution speaks volumes about the weakness of the theory.

The establishment view, by definition, is the view currently held by the majority. Everyone knows that. Your pointing out the fact that the majority of scientists hold the establishment view is like announcing the Pope is Catholic. Your worthless announcement along with calling the dissenters clowns is indeed a very lame response to a serious challenge to Darwinism.

Your very strained, lame and over-emotional statements are due to the fact that you see the challenge to Darwinism as an attack on your silly atheistic religious beliefs. You guys have far more blind, irrational faith in the creative power of mindless chance than any theist ever thought about having in God.
