List of Scientists Rejecting Evolution- Do they really?

We have all seen the Discovery Institutes list of scientists rejecting evolution. I analyzed the list, and emailed its signees. The truth of the matter is, DI lied repeatedly when constructing the list, and, by their own admission, even IF the numbers are skewed hugely in favor or the creationists, this still leaves .0027% of scientists in the US rejecting evolution.

Updates will be added periodically as I hear from these scientists.

Update #1) - Heard about Marko Horb. This is an email I just received from the head of the dept. where he was listed as working:

"Dear Whitney

I have been away on leave so have only just found your email.

I'm afraid I've never heard of Marko Horb. How is he connected to the University?

Best wishes

#2) Dr David A. DeWitt received a B.S. in biochemistry from Michigan State University and a Ph.D. in neuroscience from Case Western Reserve University. I was mistaken when I said "I think undergrad".

#3) The figure I gave in the video is not intended to be used as a concrete % of scientists who reject evolution. Although it is close, I will specifically address this in my next video. That calculation was added moreso for amusement.

Nobody says abiogenesis is happening today moron. We know that it happened at least once sometime in the past.

And thanks for proving my point about you constantly getting owned and coming back for more.

Show Abiogenesis happening TODAY!!! You have no chemstry! You delusional retard! You will spend the rest of your life trying to explain how life got started through purely natrual unguided chemical processes!

DNA code is complex MICROSCOPIC information programming that contains instructions for embryonic development, puberty development, cell cooperation, species differentiation, self replication, and DNA repair (healing).

Can your car or computer "heal itself" when damaged in an accident? NO, but DNA can. Schooled!

[Larry Crabs]

Lol. You keep getting owned, yet you keep coming back for more.

You must really get off on looking like a total moron.

Typical creatard.

This has nothing to do with theistic claims, so it does not really matter if i am an atheist or not.

and Its not that simple.

On one hand, yes Macro evolution is composed of many micro-evolutionary events, yet on the other hand, lots of micro evolution does not necessarily always mean it is macro-evolution.

Macro-evolution is any Speciation event and other events above the

species level, but micro evolution does not always produce this, sometimes it causes Reticulate evolution to occur.

ha ha according to you -I am sure it will encompass all micro-variations, - the usual atheist bullshit - keep that atheitard imagination alive and well. you'll need it to wipe the truth of your creator away. Now go ahead ...type your atheist babble . lol

@AcanLord: Thank you for your thoughtful and informative responses on this thread. Thank you for filling in some important blanks for those of us who have only a general or limited knowledge of science with some significant information. And most of all, thank you for the tone in which you presented it. You are an inspiring example for all who aspire to having intelligent, civil discussions on the Internet. (Your patience borders on the -- dare I say it? -- saintly.) Thank you.
