From CreationWiki, the encyclopedia of creation science

Response ArticleThis article (Over 300 scientists express skepticism of Darwinism (Talk.Origins)) is a response to a rebuttal of a creationist claim published by Talk.Origins Archive under the title Index to Creationist Claims.

Claim CA111.1:

More than 300 scientists (over 400 as of 7/18/2005) 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.

Source:

• 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.

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 particular method of Evolution and not General Evolution it self.
