I"m back after hosting a bridal shower and then being sick for a week
While I'm catching up on the thread, I wanted to post some info that I finally got a copy of (this is what I had mentioned to you several weeks ago, Jonathan). It addresses the oft-heard (and very unfounded, IMHO) opinion that no "real" scientist has any trouble with evolution. I had heard of something in a journal and was intrigued by it, so I called them up and got a copy of the issue. It's a two-page statement in the Weekly Standard, the October 1, 2001 issue, that about 100 scientists put in, and it goes like this: Quote:
Here are a few: Henry F. Schaefer, Nobel Nominee, Director of Center for Computational Quantum Chemistry, U. of Georgia Fred Sigworth, Prof. of Cellular & Molecular Physiology, Yale Grad. School Philip S. Skell, Emeritus Prof. of Chemistry, NAS member Frank Tipler, Prof. of Mathematical Physics, Tulane U. RObert Kaita, Plasma Physics Lab, Princeton Walter Hearn, PhD Biochemistry, U. of Illinois Dean Kenyon, Prof. Emeritus of Biology, San Francisco State Roland F. Hirsch, PhD Analytial Chemistry, U. of Michigan George Lebo, Assoc. Prof. of Astronomy, U. of Florida Timothy G. Standish, PhD Environmental Biology, George Mason U. James Keener, Prof. of Mathematics and Adjunct of Bioengineering, U. of Utah Carl Poppe, Senior Fellow, Lawrence Livermore LaboratoriesGregory Shearer, Postdoc. Researcher Internal Medicine, U.C. Davis Joseph Atkinson,PhD Organic Chemistry-M.I.T., American Chemical Society member Lawrence H. Johnson, Emeritus Prof. of Physics, U. of Idaho Marvin Fritzler, Prof. of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, U. of Calgary, Medical school William S. Pelletier, Emeritus Distinguished Prof. of Chemistry, U. of Georgia Brian J. Miller, PhD Physics, Duke U. Wesley Allen, Prof. of Computational Quantum Chemistry, U. of Georgia John L. Omdahl, Prof. of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, U. of New Mexico Ralph W. Seelke, Prof and Chair of Dept. of Biology and Earth Sciences, U. of Wisconsin, Superior Raymond G. Bohlin, PhD Molecular and Cell Biology, U. of Texas Rebecca W. Keller, Research Prof., Dept. of Chemistry, U. of New Mexico Bijan Nemati, Senior Engineer, Jet Propulsion Lab (NASA) Philip Savage, Prof. of Chemical Engineering, U. of Michigan Richard Sternberg, Invertebrate Zoology, National Museum of Natural History, Smithsonian Institute. Anyway, there's a few of the names. And those are only the ones that heard about this statement and signed up, and that are brave enough (like Galileo) to stand up for an unpopular opinion that they think is right.
