    The Scientific Dissent From Darwinism list is now located at a new webpage,

    SEATTLE - Over 500 doctoral scientists have now signed a statement publicly expressing their skepticism about the contemporary theory of Darwinian evolution.

    The statement, says the report -- which includes endorsements by members of the prestigious U.S. National Academy of Sciences and Russian Academy of Sciences -- was first published by the Seattle-based Discovery Institute in 2001 to challenge statements made in PBS's "Evolution" series which claimed "virtually every scientist in the world believes the theory [evolution] to be true."

    "Darwinists continue to claim that no serious scientists doubt the theory and yet here are 500 scientists who are willing to make public their skepticism about the theory," said John G. West, associate director of Discovery Institute's Center for Science and Culture (DICSS).

    "Darwin's theory of evolution is the great white elephant of contemporary thought," said David Berlinski, a signatory and mathematician and philosopher of science with DICSS. "It is large, almost completely useless, and the object of superstitious awe."

    Other prominent signatories, according to the report, include U.S. National Academy of Sciences member Philip Skell, American Association for the Advancement of Science Fellow Lyle Jensen, evolutionary biologist and textbook author Stanley Salthe; Smithsonian Institution evolutionary biologist and researcher at the National Institutes of Health's National Center for Biotechnology Information Richard von Sternberg, editor of Rivista di Biologia/Biology Forum - the oldest still published biology journal in the world - Giuseppe Sermonti and Russian Academy of Natural Sciences embryologist Lev Beloussov.

(Thank you, Rick Homesley (Email:1origin@cox.net) for this info. Rick heads up the local Origin Science Association. They have a tremendous lending lirary of books and video and have monthly meetings on both sides of Hampton Roads river tunnel. Debunking evolution is a major need for a Christian society. Without a creator belief, humanity easily loses its way and devolves into increasing chaos. What a breakthorugh this signing is!--Editor)

From the wall covered with pictures of the kids they support to the server’s shirts that say "Jesus loves you" in Tagalog (a Filipino language), you can quickly tell that money is not the main reason this business is in business.
