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.”

Looks like many of them retired, looking forward to meeting their creator. And 1000 is not exactly a large number. Like 6 million PhDs in America alone ... so yeah, scrapping the floor.
Also, the question is dubious. Might as well ask "does Darwin explain how life was created?". And the answer is obviously no. Evolution is a process, not a "42" answer.

Are we talking 1000 PhDs in Theology?
