Earlier this month, a long kept list of Ph.D. scientists who “dissent from Darwinism” reached a milestone — it crossed the threshold of 1,000 signers.

“There are 1,043 scientists on the ‘A Scientific Dissent from Darwinism’ list. It passed the 1,000 mark this month,” said Sarah Chaffee, a program officer for the Discovery Institute, which maintains the list.

“A Scientific Dissent From Darwinism” is a simple, 32-word statement that reads: “We are skeptical of claims for the ability of random mutation and natural selection to account for the complexity of life. Careful examination of the evidence for Darwinian theory should be encouraged.”

    Interesting. My daughter is currently studying Bio-mechanical Engineering at the University where one of the signees teaches. Fortunately, he is not her advisor nor is he one of the professors leading her research internship. I'm going to have to give her a call this weekend and see what she thinks of this and the professor mentioned in the article.

    If you can get her to do some digging, maybe you could create a journal entry about what she uncovers?
