WorldNetDaily: 500 doctoral scientists skeptical of Darwin

This came after the Public Broadcasting Service did a special on the history of evolutionary theory and claimed that "virtually every scientist in the world believes the theory to be true." Five hundred fourteen scientists, each of whom has a doctorate, say that they are not among them--which gives a salutary clarification to the term virtual as PBS used it. Here is a key excerpt from their statement:
We are 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.
These men are not necessarily creationists. But they do say that evolution cannot possibly explain everything--a devastating admission.
