Yo!

Here is a statement submitted by 100 scientists
to contest the propaganda viewpoint promoted in
the recent PBS series on evolution. Perhaps Dr.
Chalmers and Dr. Erlich would like to address
the particular ways in which each signee are either
ignorant, or holding on to some fanatical religious
view, or whatever other notion y'all is in a fit
about.

A Scientific Dissent on Darwinism

"I am skeptical of claims for the ability of random
mutation and natural selection to account for the
complexity of life. Careful examination of the evidence
for Darwinian theory should be encouraged."

I'm not a doctor, and I doubt that Chalmers will have such
familiarity will all of these names, but I'll bet that at least 99 of
these scientists grew up in a household where they were taught
Biblical explanations for the kinds of questions children ask.

99 out of the 100?
So all I have to do is produce two who don't meet
this description.

How much you willing to bet?
