I read where over 600 scientist signed a statement stating that they doubt Darwin's theory.

That's not what the statement actually says. You fell for the creationist spin about that statement and its signatories, didn't you? Heck, that statement is so mild and milquetoast that even *I* would sign if it it weren't being used for anti-science propaganda purposes, and I'm as big a supporter of "Darwin's theory" as anyone.

Get a clue.

Meanwhile, statements *supporting* evolution:
