More Than 1,000 Scientists Dissent From Darwinism

 

The list of scientists who publicly doubt the Darwinian theory of evolution grew to more than 1,000 members in February, according to the Discovery Institute, the Seattle-based nonprofit that has maintained the list for over a decade. The scientists who have signed the two-sentence dissent statement come from all over the world with degrees from prestigious universities including Yale, Princeton, and Stanford. Signatories must hold a doctorate in a scientific field or hold a doctor of medicine degree and serve as a professor of medicine. “Careful examination of the evidence for Darwinian theory should be encouraged,” says the statement.

 

The landmark number of signatures is significant since the scientific field in the United States is dominated by Darwinian orthodoxy and dissenters are swiftly ostracized. While many scientists doubt the science that props up Darwin’s theory, few do so openly fearing for their careers. The list grew past the 1,000-signature mark at some point in 2018 but was officially updated in February this year. The delay is due to the process involved in verifying the scientific credentials warning scientists about the dangers associated with signing the statement.

 

“On the one hand, even more scientists are raising questions about the sufficiency of random mutations and natural selection to explain the complexity of life. On the other hand, those defending modern Darwinian theory have become even more intolerant toward anyone who questions the theory,” Dr. John West, vice president at Discovery Institute, told The Epoch Times in an email. “For myself, I think that’s likely because they are insecure and know that the scientific problems with Darwinian theory are reaching a tipping point. When the evidence is against you, you try to suppress it by punishing dissenters,” he said. The list, titled The Scientific Dissent From Darwinism, was conceived in 2001 as a response to incessant claims in the media that there are no scientists who are skeptical about Darwinism. The idea was to show that there are prominent scientists “who have scientific objections” to Darwin’s theory.
