Claim CA111.1:

More than 300 scientists (over 400 as of 7/18/2005 and over 1000 as of 9/14/2019) from all disciplines have signed a statement expressing skepticism of the ability of random mutation and natural selection to account for the complexity of life.

Fuentes:

• Discovery Institute, 2004. Doubts over evolution mount with over 300 scientists expressing skepticism with central tenet of Darwin's theory.
• Discovery Institute, 2005. Eighty years after Scopes trial new scientific evidence convinces over 400 scientists that Darwinian evolution is deficient.
• Discovery Institute, 2019. Some of the Growing Number of Scientists Who Doubt the Darwinian Theory of Evolution Speak Out.

CreationWiki response:

While this is interesting, it is not really relevant. Not only is the number insignificantly small; even compared to the number of open Creation Scientists; but at most they were expressing skepticism of a "purely naturalistic" evolution while still supporting the idea of common ancestry via a "guided intelligence."
