Scientific Skepticism

http://www.reviewevolution.com/press/pressRelease_100Scientists.php

"The numbers of scientists who question Darwinism is a minority, but it is growing fast," said Stephen Meyer, a Cambridge-educated philosopher of science who directs the Center for the Renewal of Science and Culture at Discovery Institute. "This is happening in the face of fierce attempts to intimidate and suppress legitimate dissent. Young scientists are threatened with deprivation of tenure. Others have seen a consistent pattern of answering scientific arguments with ad hominem attacks. In particular, the series' attempt to stigmatize all critics--including scientists--as religious 'creationists' is an excellent example of viewpoint discrimination."

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."

First of all, there is no religion that goes by the name of Darwinism. Creationists try their hardest to make the Theory of Evolution into a religion started by Darwin, but it isn't. We don't call theories of Gravity 'Newtonianism'. There is Newtonian Mechanics, there is Newtons Laws, but nobody ever says Newtonianism - even though it is readily accepted ...[text shortened]... hey are forced to try and claim some as yet unrealized future in which the numbers support them.

Who said it was a religion? Are you obfuscating again?[/b]

Not much money in the belief that the universe was created. Evolution is a very lucrative hoax.

Most of America still does not have even a 4-year degree. Putting your Ph.D. to work still garners you a decent income in these United States. A MS, not so much. A lot of teachers have their MS and they still don't make much money in the US, unless they go into Administration.
