80 Years After Scopes Trial New Scientific Evidence Convinces Over 400 Scientists That Darwinian Evolution is Deficient

SEATTLE — More than 400 scientists have signed onto a growing list from all disciplines who are “skeptical of claims for the ability of random mutation and natural selection to account for the complexity of life.”

“Darwin’s theory of evolution is the great white elephant of contemporary thought,” said Dr. David Berlinski, a mathematician and philosopher of science with Discovery Institute’s Center for Science and Culture (CSC). “It is large, almost completely useless, and the object of superstitious awe.”

Discovery Institute first published its Statement of Dissent from Darwin in 2001 and a direct challenge to statements made in PBS’ “Evolution” series that no scientists disagreed with Darwinian evolution.

“The fact is that a significant number of scientists are extremely skeptical that Darwinian evolution can explain the origins of life,” said Dr. John G. West, associate director of the CSC. “We expect that as scientists engage in the wider debate over materialist evolutionary theories, this list will continue to grow, and grow at an even more rapid pace than we’ve seen this past year.”

In the last 90 days, 29 scientists, including eight biologists, have signed the “Scientific Dissent From Darwinism.”. The list includes over 70 biologists total.

The most recent signatories are Lev V. Beloussov and Vladimir L. Voeikov, two prominent, Russian biologists from Moscow State University. Dr. Voeikov is a professor of bioorganic chemistry and Dr. Beloussov is a professor of embryology and Honorary Professor at Moscow State University; both are members of the Russian Academy of Natural Sciences.

“The ideology and philosophy of neo-Darwinism which is sold by its adepts as a scientific theoretical foundation of biology seriously hampers the development of science and hides from students the field’s real problems,” said Professor Voeikov.

“Lately in the media there’s been a lot of talk about science versus religion,” said West. “But such talk is misleading. This list is a witness to the growing group of scientists who challenge Darwinian theory on scientific grounds.”

Other prominent biologists who have signed the list include evolutionary biologist and textbook author Dr. Stanley Salthe, Dr. Richard von Sternberg an evolutionary biologist at the Smithsonian Institution and the National Institutes of Health’s National Center for Biotechnology Information, and Giuseppe Sermonti, Editor of Rivista di Biologia / Biology Forum. The list also includes scientists from Princeton, Cornell, UC Berkeley, UCLA, Ohio State University, Purdue and University of Washington among others.

Ahhh...that leaves a significant number of scientists that are NOT skeptical. Gee, go figure.:funnyface

And your point is? Most of the world is also not willing to admit that Christ is the only way to Heaven - that doesn't make it any less true, however...

No - I do know for sure...

Right..I have the "BOOK" therefore it's true...hummm..yep I guess that does it.. :bang3: Nevermind..

Until someone can prove to me the Bible is somehow wrong.....
 
“The fact is that a significant number of scientists are extremely skeptical that Darwinian evolution can explain the origins of life,”

That would be because evolution does not explaint the origin of life. Evolution makes no claims about the origin of life. The current theory you are refering to is under primordial biochemistry. Evolution merely states that through mutation and natural selection one species may turn into another. Nothing about how the first species came into being.

In the last 90 days, 29 scientists, including eight biologists, have signed the “Scientific Dissent From Darwinism.”. The list includes over 70 biologists total.

Wow. Seventy Biologists. That is pretty laughable. So you have seventy out of how many biologists world wide? And you are bragging about it?

Same goes for
More than 400 scientists have signed onto a growing list from all disciplines who are “skeptical of claims for the ability of random mutation and natural selection to account for the complexity of life.”

“Lately in the media there’s been a lot of talk about science versus religion,” said West. “But such talk is misleading. This list is a witness to the growing group of scientists who challenge Darwinian theory on scientific grounds.”

This I can agree with. There is no "science versus religion" in so far as evolution does not assume the existance or non existance of a diety. Evolution and religion are not mutually exclusive.
