In response to mod 80’s post in the returning members thread,
The list of name you brought up consists of only five hundred scientisits worldwide and not any leading ones (I’m sure you can find 500 scientists who beleive aleins have visited the earth among other strange things).
In response to this there was a project put together by the NCSE called “project steve” in which only scietists named steve were allowed to perticipate they quickly gatherd more then double the amount of scientists including (Stephen Hawking among other leading scientists)NAMED STEVE ONLY!!! to sign the following statement
“Evolution is a vital, well-supported, unifying principle of the biological sciences, and the scientific evidence is overwhelmingly in favor of the idea that all living things share a common ancestry. Although there are legitimate debates about the patterns and processes of evolution, there is no serious scientific doubt that evolution occurred or that natural selection is a major mechanism in its occurrence. It is scientifically inappropriate and pedagogically irresponsible for creationist pseudoscience, including but not limited to “intelligent design,” to be introduced into the science curricula of our nation’s public schools.”
This is besides the point that when scientists say they disagree with “darwinian evolution” it very rarley means that they dont beleive in evolution or common ancestry or that they beleive thet there isnt overwhelming evidence in evolution or common ancestry ,rather it usally means that they disagree with Darwin’s ideas on how it may have actually happend
