  CA111.1: Scientists skeptical of evolution?
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.
The criticisms of the general claim that many scientists reject evolution apply also to this list of scientists.
Bob Davidson, one of the signators of the DI's list of 400, says, "the scientific evidence for evolution is overwhelming" and now thinks the Discovery Institute is an affront to both science and religion (Westneat 2005).

The list provided today in response includes engineers, technicians and specialists who have worked on ballistic missiles or nuclear, biological and chemical weapons, although Iraq maintains it has now shut down all of those programs.

 NCSE Resource   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
Creationists draw up these lists to convince the public that evolution is somehow being rejected by scientists, that it is a "theory in crisis." Most members of the public lack sufficient contact with the scientific community to know that this claim is totally unfounded.
NCSE has been exhorted by its members to compile a list of thousands of scientists affirming the validity of the theory of evolution, but although we easily could have done so, we have resisted such pressure.
Project Steve mocks this practice with a bit of humor, and because "Steves" are only about 1% of scientists, it incidentally makes the point that tens of thousands of scientists support evolution.
