Comment: A list of 700 scientists!!! Has anyone read the list? Physicists, Astronomers, Computer Engineers, weather forecasters, psychologists, statisticians and geologists add up to 500 (and now 700) scientists who doubt evolution!! (http://www.discovery.org/scripts/viewDB/filesDB-download.php?command=download&id=660) Lets get this straight; I do not doubt the depth of knowledge of these scientists in their chosen disciplines. But to assume that they have the same understanding of evolution as evolutionary biologists is a joke. A document signed by 700 scientists in a community of tens of thousands of scientists (and millions of people educated in science) makes Intelligent Design a minority belief. For it to find respect among scientific community and among educated humanity at large, it will have to make testable predictions, undergo scrutiny, and improve upon existing theories. That’s how new ideas modify the old ones. ID is far from the finished article it claims. More often than not, it sounds like religion. Complexity does not imply the existence of the super-natural. Especially when we have a theory that explains a large part of the observed diversity in nature. “Isn't it enough to see that a garden is beautiful without having to believe that there are fairies at the bottom of it too?”
