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.”

  if it turns out there's an open window in those walls, shouldn't we want to know?

  Yes, we would.

  Careful examination of the evidence for Darwinian theory should be encouraged.

  is a good thing, and is done every day by scientists around the world.

  What these guys want to do is advance their theory that god done it.
