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.”

    My PHD in Mathematics clearly means I'm qualified to weigh in on this subject!

    Absolutely! But you need to show relevancy first. Something like:
    1. Biologist is fascinated by the complexity and beauty of life as evolved through natural selection;
    2. Chemist says, "Biology is just applied chemistry.";
    3. Physicist says, "Chemistry is jkust applied physics.";
    4. Mathematician says, "Physics is just applied mathematics!" while drinking heavily (that's you DM).
