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.

In 1949 when Mao&the communist came to power, there were only 1 million Christians in China. Mao was gung-ho on wiping out all religion in China. After 63 years of an iron-fisted policy towards religion, there are now 130 million Christians in China. They are converting at a rate of 30000 a day. We need some "atheist missionaries" to go&re-convert these Chinese Christians back to atheism. Do we have any volunteers? BTW Mao did wipe out much illiteracy but as literacy increased so didChristianity

Your copypasta with poor grammar is totally off topic. Why did you just waste 1500 characters?

John Wycliffe1330-1385 who translated the Bible in 1382 from Latin to the early-middle English of the day beleived that the Bible should be in the language of the common folk&in their hands as well. He died in 1385 but in 1442 his remains were dug up. A trial was held&his bones were burned until they were powder&then dumped in a river I read his lifestory.

The Bible has been accessible to the common man for less than 500 years. William Tyndale1486-1524 was the first to mass publish Bibles for the common man starting in 1525 using the printing press.He smuggled them into England from Belguim&they cost a common man's week wage. He was a hunted man who was caught, tried&executed in Brussels Belguim. I read his lifestory.The Bible was under lock&key for over 1000 years.Even many clergy did'nt have access to it. It took 10 months to handwrite a Bible.

In 1970 I had a school teacher who in the summer of 1969 was part of a group that smuggled a suitcase of Russian Bibles into Moscow. His story of how they prayed that the suitcase would not be checked by the Russian customs people at the airport was amazing, it was not checked&the Bibles got into the hands of Russian Christians that needed them. Remember the Bible was a banned book at that time. FYI. Banned for 75 years back again 20 yearsThe Russian, Soviet peoples were educated&literate FYI.
