World Net Daily leaps on any story that it thinks might discredit evolution. This time, they pick a story captioned: 500 doctoral scientists skeptical of Darwin"
My first observation: "Doctoral scientists" is a weird term. What the heck does it mean?
More than 500 scientists with doctoral degrees have signed a statement expressing skepticism about Darwin's theory of evolution.
For another take on what this list means, you might look here. This article points out that:
- The number of signatories to this list is a tiny fraction of all scientists.
- The statement they've signed is not anti-evolution.
- Most of the signatories have degrees in fields so far removed from biology they're no more qualified to comment on evolution than the average man on the street.
