A Scientific Dissent From Darwinism is a petition publicized in 2001 by the Discovery Institute, a creationist "think" tank, which attempts to push creationism, in the guise of Intelligent design into public schools in the United States.[1] The petition expresses denial about the ability of genetic drift and natural selection to account for the complexity of life. It also demands that there should be a more careful examination of Darwinism. The petition was signed by about 700 individuals, with a wide variety of scientific and non-scientific backgrounds when first published. It now contains over 1200 signatures.[2]
The petition states that:
| 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. There is scientific dissent from Darwinism. It deserves to be heard. |
The petition continues to be used in Discovery Institute intelligent design campaigns in an attempt to discredit evolution and bolster claims that intelligent design is scientifically valid by claiming that evolution lacks broad scientific support.
The petition is considered an Appeal to authority, whereby the creationists at the Discovery Institute are attempting to prove that there is a dissent from "Darwinism" by finding a few creationist scientists to support the statement. The about 600 dissenters that originally signed the petition would have represented about 0.054% of the estimated 1,108,100 biological and geological scientists in the US in 1999, except, of course, that three-quarters of the signatories had no academic background in biology.[3] (The roughly 150 biologist Darwin Dissenters would hence represent about 0.0157% of the US biologists that existed in 1999.) As of 2006, the list was expanded to include non-US scientists. However, the list nonetheless represents less 0.03% of all research scientists in the world.[4] Despite the increase in absolute number of scientists willing to sign the dissent form, the figures indicates the support from scientists for creationism and intelligent design is steadily decreasing.
Since scientific principles are built on publications in peer-reviewed journals, discussion in open forums, and finally through consensus, the use of a petition should be considered the last resort of a pseudoscience known as intelligent design.

Sowing “controversy”
The claims of the document is of course rejected by the scientific community, but, as Robert T. Pennock points out, proponents of intelligent design are “manufacturing dissent” to explain the absence of scientific debate of their claims:
| The “scientific” claims of such neo-creationists as Johnson, Denton, and Behe rely, in part, on the notion that these issues surrounding evolution are the subject of suppressed debate among biologists. [...] according to neo-creationists, the apparent absence of this discussion and the nearly universal rejection of neo-creationist claims must be due to the conspiracy among professional biologists instead of a lack of scientific merit.[5] |
Furthermore, the statement itself, including the title, is deceptive, as it refers to evolution as “Darwinism” or “Darwinian theory”, expressions that will mean different things to different people, even though what the authors have in mind is evolution due to the natural selection. As Larry Moran puts it:
| There's nothing wrong with the statement. I am skeptical of claims that natural selection accounts for all of the complexity of life. There are lots of other things going on during evolution.But I will not sign this petition because Dembski and the IDiots will deliberately misinterpret my intentions. They have no idea what dissent from classical Darwinism really means. They have no idea that someone like me could (mostly) agree with the statement while, at the same time, referring to all Intelligent Design Creationists as IDiots. I suspect that some of those who signed the petition would feel the same way about Intelligent Design.[6] |
Of course, the Discovery Institute is using to promote the idea that evolution is the subject of wide controversy and debate within the scientific community (despite the minuscule percentage of actual scientists that have signed up for it).[7] It has, for instance, been used to support their Teach the Controversy campaigns and its relatives (“Critical Analysis of Evolution”, “Free Speech on Evolution”, “Stand Up For Science”).[8] For instance, with regard to the Teach the Controversy campaigns, the Institute has claimed “evolution is a theory in crisis” that is disputed widely within the scientific community, citing the list as evidence or a resource, and hence also that this information is being withheld from students in public high school science classes along with “alternatives” to evolution such as intelligent design.[9] In 2002 Stephen Meyer presented the list to the Ohio Board of Education to promote Teach the Controversy, citing it as demonstrating the existence of genuine controversy over Darwinian evolution;[10] in the 2005 Kansas evolution hearings he similarly cited the list in support of there being “significant scientific dissent from Darwinism” that students should be informed about.[11]
The Discovery Institute-related organization Physicians and Surgeons for Scientific Integrity manages “Physicians and Surgeons who Dissent from Darwinism”, a similar list for medical professionals. They have also compiled and distributed other misleading lists of local scientists during controversies over evolution education in Georgia, New Mexico, Ohio, and Texas.[12]
The List
The list of signatories, as per December 2011. From a quick glance at the list the Texas A&M University seems vastly over-represented and close to being a hub for creationism (16 signatories listed as faculty or retired faculty, as well as 10 signatories listed as receiving their Ph.Ds from the institution). Georgia Institute of Technology is rather well represented as well (9 signatories listed as faculty), as is the Autonomous University of Guadalajara, Mexico (10 signatories listed as faculty); by comparison, a well-known creationist university such as Cedarville "only" had five signing faculty members. Note that, apart from David DeWitt, the signatories among the Liberty University faculty tend not to mention their affiliation but rather the institution that awarded them their degrees.
Another striking thing about the list is the sheer number of signatories who has made PR efforts on behalf of creationism, including outreach efforts such as writing books targeted at children or students, and how few of them have actually attempted to do anything resembling research related to evolution or intelligent design.
Note that many of the signatories are listed by the institution where they obtained their Ph.Ds, which does not indicate any current affiliation. So, for instance “Alfred G. Ratz, Ph.D. Engineering Physics, University of Toronto” does not currently have any affiliation with the University of Toronto, and Google does not reveal any current affiliation for Ratz whatsoever.
Note also that deceased signatories are not removed from the list, and not consistently kept track of, something that further contributes to inflating the number of signatories. Signatories who are known to have died since signing are marked with "†", but there may be many more than the ones actually marked as deceased here.
A
- S. Thomas Abraham, Assistant Professor of Pharmacology & Toxicology, Campbell University School of Pharmacy
- Bernard d'Abrera, Visiting Scholar, Department of Entomology, British Museum. A fellow of the pro-intelligent design organization International Society for Complexity, Information and Design, who has described the theory of evolution as “viscid, asphyxiating baggage” that requires “blind religious faith,” since, according to this particular PRATT, it is unfalsifiable. Arthur Shapiro aptly described d’Abrera as “profoundly anti-scientific – not unscientific, but hostile to science.”[13] According to the British Centre for Science Education, d’Abrera is not a scientist by training.[14]
- Gary Achtemeier, Ph.D. Meteorology, Florida State University. Currently works with the USDA Forest Service, doing (genuine) research on smoke management and air quality. Has dedicated himself to “removing stumbling blocks that keep God's people from coming before his throne,”[15] and written a book, “Cultural Espionage”, on the “evolution-creation controversy”.[16]

- Cevat Babuna, Professor Emeritus of Gynecology, Istanbul University
- John W. Balliet, Post-doctoral Fellowship, Harvard Medical School

Gave the name to the fish species Balon’s ruffe, and has written several articles such as “Evolution by Epigenesis: Farewell to Darwinism, Neo- and Otherwise,” published in the pseudojournal “Rivista di Biologia”, and in which he laments the conspiracies among scientists and granting agencies for a failure to realize that his views on epigenesis creates a new paradigm in biology.
- Geoff Barnard, Senior Research Scientist, Department of Veterinary Medicine, University of Cambridge. On the “Scientific Panel” of the British creationist organization Truth in Science, and signatory to the CMI list of scientists alive today who accept the biblical account of creation (where he calls himself “Immunologist”). Has claimed that “[n]o apparent, perceived, or claimed evidence in any historical or scientific field of study can be valid if it contradicts the record of Holy Scripture,” which hardly counts as a particularly scientific dissent from anything.
- Daniel W. Barnette, Ph. D. Aerospace Engineering, Stanford University
- Ibrahim Barsoum. Ph.D. Microbiology. The George Washington University
- William F. Basener, Associate Professor of Mathematics, Rochester Institute of Technology. Involved in William Dembski’s Evolutionary Informatics Lab at Baylor[22] (which was not a lab but a website, and never the source of any research on biology[23])
- Robert W. Bass, Ph.D. Mathematics from Johns Hopkins University. Also a signatory to Rethinking AIDS, a list of HIV “skeptics”. In fact, Bass is also a Velikovsky fan (he is on the staff of Kronos, the infamous Velikovsky journal) and attends seminars on Cold fusion.[24] Has called Stephen Meyer's The Signature in the Cell the "most important book in two centuries". Failed to inform Rob Crowther that he is (or was) Professor of Physics and Astronomy, Brigham Young University.

- Edward F. Blick, Ph.D. Engineering Science, University of Oklahoma. Also on James Inhofe’s list of 650 scientists who supposedly dispute the global warming consensus,[27] and on the record saying that “[t]he predecessors of today's unbelievers replaced the Holy Bible's book of Genesis with Darwin's Origin of the Species. Now with the help of Al Gore and the United Nations they are trying to replace the Holy Bible's book of Revelation with the U.N.’s report Anthropogenic Global Warming,” and that “[t]his whole [AGW] scheme is a ‘Trojan Horse’ for global socialism!”[28] Also known for trying to show that modern science is accurately foreshadowed in the Bible. For instance, when Isaiah says that the obedient ones “shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint” (Isa. 40:28-31), Blick takes it as an accurate description of modern research in aerodynamics, which shows that eagles can fly for a long time without getting tired.

Research Fellow of the Discovery Institute 's Center for the Renewal of Science and Culture. Though his credentials are fine, his research seems mostly concerned with questions such as “Is Masturbation a Sin?” and “Is pole-dancing OK for believers?” Also signatory to the CMI list of scientists alive today who accept the biblical account of creation.
- Edward M. Bohn, Ph. D. Nuclear Engineering, University of Illinois
- Yvonne Boldt, Ph. D. Microbiology, University of Minnesota. Currently Biology and Chemistry instructor at Providence Academy.

- Herman Branover, Professor of Mechanical Engineering, Ben-Gurion University. A pioneer of the field of magnetohydrodynamics[31] and president of the SHAMIR Association of Religious Professionals from the USSR, known for his studies of Jewish mysticism and spirituality. With rabbi Joseph Gisburg he has written “Mind over Matter”, which espouses young earth creationism and reconciles the assertion that the earth is ca. 6000 years old with science by claiming that “science formulates and deals with theories and hypotheses while the Torah deals with absolute truths;” just observe how scientists disagree with each other – clearly they are not uncovering absolute truths. Problem solved.

Adjunct faculty member at the conservative think tanks the Oklahoma Council of Public Affairs and the National Center for Policy Analysis, and known for criticizing the notion of “sustainability” since “technological progress is our birthright and destiny,” which may not completely assuage all worries. Also on James Inhofe’s list of 650 scientists who supposedly dispute the global warming consensus.[42], claiming that global warming hysteria is “generated by journalists who don't understand the provisional and uncertain nature of scientific knowledge,” and that “global warming is a scientific question, not a moral one.” Has also claimed “the last two years of global cooling have nearly erased 30 years of temperature increases. To the extent that global warming ever existed, it is now officially over,”[43] which is patently absurd. Has done some real research as well, apparently, and has – curiously enough – claimed that Intelligent Design cannot be formulated as a scientific hypothesis and is scientifically useless.

In 2011 she got a paper (co-authored with Douglas Axe) published in the institute’s home journal BIO-Complexity, which, according to her, disproves evolution (and is demolished here). Its most notable trait is its complete misrepresentation of the papers cited by the authors.[51]

- Jim Gibson, Ph.D. Biology, Director of the Geoscience Research Institute, Loma Linda University, a Seventh Day Adventist front organization which pushes a creationist agenda in Earth sciences. Gibson’s article “Did Life Begin in the ‘RNA World?’” was a huge inspiration for Ray Comfort, who based a chapter (“From Dust to Dust”) on it in his book Nothing Created Everything: The Scientific Impossibility of Atheistic Evolution.
- Maciej Giertych, Professor, Institute of Dendrology, Polish Academy of Sciences. Also on the CMI list of scientists alive today who accept the biblical account of creation, where he is listed as “Geneticist”. Most famous in the US, perhaps, for his incoherent letter to Nature[52] in which he proved himself a master of the Gish gallop. Giertych is perhaps the most prominent pushers for including creationism in education in Poland. Also a notable and vocal anti-Semite,[53] who has claimed that Jews are dishonest because they don’t recognize “Jesus Christ as the awaited Messiah.” In an address to the European Parliament he praised Francisco Franco, António de Oliveira Salazar and Éamon de Valera as guardsmen of traditional European values.[54] Interviewed in Expelled.

It was easily shown to be bunk,[60] if anyone wondered. Does apparently struggle with the idea that science has to do with observation.[61]

He is a prolific author on topics such as “Islamic perspectives on science and civilization”, claiming that Western accounts of science from Francis Bacon onwards have been “disrespectful” of Islamic science, though by signing the list at hand he has pretty much proved his inability to distinguish science from theology (in fact, Iqbal appears to place revelation at the center of science). He is also a Fellow of Dembski’s International Society for Complexity, Information, and Design and as such one of relatively few points of connection with the American ID movement and Islamic creationism.[70]

The author and publisher of the Real Science-4-Kids student texts, teacher manuals, and student laboratory workbooks in chemistry, biology and physics to serve kindergarten through ninth grade, targeted at the homeschooling and apparently rather widely used. The series was developed precisely to incorporate intelligent design concepts into a science curriculum, and Keller is as such yet another Intelligent Design advocate (though she tends to present herself as a “Teach the controversy” advocate[73]) who views her primary role as doing outreach to children, not research.

He is currently an assistant professor (of biophysics) at Wake Forest University, and unlike most ID proponents, he appears to publish peer-reviewed scientific research – none of it seems to touch upon Intelligent Design, however. He also contributes non-peer-reviewed material that does, allegedly, support Intelligent design, however, and is perhaps best known for co-editing, with Dembski, “A Man For This Season: The Phillip Johnson Celebration Volume”.[77]

- Robert Marks,[78] Distinguished Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Baylor University. Marks has peer-reviewed publications, generally not related to intelligent design (though he sometimes seems to think it is), and ought to know his math.[79] His and Dembski’s The Search for a Search - Measuring the Information Cost of Higher Level Search and Conservation of Information in Search - Measuring the Cost of Success merit their own articles (particularly notable is their obsession with Methinks it is like a weasel[80]). Suffice to say that they do not quite show what Marks and Dembski think they show.[81][82] Marks’s creationist view is highlighted in “Genesis and Science: Compatibility Extraordinaire.”[83]

- Charles H. McGowen, Assistant Professor of Medicine, Northeastern Ohio Universities College of Medicine. Author of “In Six Days” (1976), a “treatise on the creation/evolution controversy”, and “In Six Days: A Case For Intelligent Design” (2002), another “great teaching tool”, i.e. a book to convince audiences, in particular children – McGowen has of course done no research about Intelligent Design, but then again the Intelligent Design movement is not about science or research, but about public relations. Rejects theistic evolution in part because it “requires a refutation of the absolute, inspired, inerrant truth of God’s Word.”
- Andy McIntosh, Full Professor of Thermodynamics and Combustion Theory, University of Leeds. On the Board of Directors of the British creationist organization Truth in Science. Evangelical Christian and creationist, author of “The Delusion of Evolution”, and (at least sometime) member of the council of reference of Biblical Creation Ministries; author of Genesis for Today, which promotes a literal interpretation of the Book of Genesis. Unsurprisingly, he is also a signatory to the CMI list of scientists alive today who accept the biblical account of creation. He claims that his research suggests that the Bombardier beetle is unlikely to have been brought about through natural selection.[85]

He is also a Fellow at the Discovery Institute and the International Society for Complexity, Information and Design, and a global warming denialist. Famous for his 1988 proposal to Scientific American to take over The Amateur Scientist column; he was offered to write some sample columns, but was not offered the position, a decision that according to Mims must have been made because of his Christian and creationist views.[95] He also received some flak for his claim that ecologist Eric Pianka advocates mass genocide by ebola.[96]

Senior research specialist at the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute who has some peer-reviewed publications. Extensively used by creationists, e.g. in the Kansas Evolution Hearings;[109] after a lengthy presentation on the problems of abiogenesis he spent the last minute of his testimony to launch into an incoherent rant about “the religion of naturalism” in modern science,[110] asserting his position as an old-earth creationist. He has done some serious work related to global warming, however.

- Rosalind Picard, Sc.D. Electrical Engineering & Computer Science, Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Picard is credited with starting the branch of computer science known as “affective computing” and is apparently a well-respected scientist in her field. Has voiced some reservations about intelligent design, saying it isn't being sufficiently challenged by Christians and other people of faith,[111] arguing that the media has created a false dilemma by dividing everyone into two groups, supporters of intelligent design or evolution. “To simply put most of us in one camp or the other does the whole state of knowledge a huge disservice,” she has said, which means that either she confuses Intelligent Design creationism with Guided evolution, or she has bought into the Discovery Institute “controversy” rhetoric. In any case, her views on the matter seem decidedly woolly.

- David Prentice,[112] Professor, Department of Life Sciences, Indiana State University. A member of the Family Research Council and former science advisor to Sam Brownback (a known promoter of creationism[113]). Most famous as a stem cell research opponent who (against his better judgment) has attempted to claim that we don't need to fund embryonic stem cell research because adult stem cells can do so many things.[114] His claim was backed up by the claim that adult stem cells have treated at least 65 human diseases. Scientists were curious about the number, so when checking his list[115] of research supporting his claim, they found that one entry was included because of an anecdote in a newspaper article, others only because of statements of personal opinion in Congressional testimony, and of the cited references few if any actually support Prentice’s claim.[116][117] Despite the list being obviously fraudulent, it has been cited innumerable times by other wingnuts who like Prentice’s conclusion and would like it to be correct,[118] such as Karl Rove.[119]

- Georgia Purdom,[120]Ph.D. Molecular Genetics, Ohio State University, and associated with Answers in Genesis. Purdom is a young earth creationist and signatory to the CMI list of scientists alive today who accept the biblical account of creation, has contributed several articles to AIG’s house journal Answers Research Journal, and was an early critic of Richard Lenski’s famous experiment, entering the fray even before Andy Schlafly. She is fond of the Different Worldviews gambit, but has also claimed that “the Christian worldview accounts not only for morality but also for why evolutionists behave the way they do. Even those who have no basis for morality […] hold to a moral code […] because in their heart of hearts they really do know the God of creation, despite their profession to the contrary. Scripture tells us that everyone knows the biblical God, but that they suppress the truth about God”. So there. Known for her ability to take any strong evidence for a hypothesis to be evidence for a completely opposite one by applying the standard creationist data handling rules: distort, mangle, quote-mine, confuse and assert.[121] Despite her own assertions to the contrary, she is not, by any measure, a scientist.[122]

Well-known old earth creationist, author of The Cell's Design: How Chemistry Reveals the Creator's Artistry, and unfailing apologist for religious fundamentalism. Rana has written (published in BIO-Complexity) on why harmful bacteria would exist if they were created by a good and benevolent god. Evolution would apparently not answer that one.[124] Rejects the possibility of extra-terrestrial life since there was one unique Jesus who died for all sinners; since he didn’t on other planets such aliens must be without sin or else not exist, and the latter is apparently more plausible.

- John C. Sanford, Courtesy Associate Professor of Horticultural Sciences, Cornell University. Young earth creationist who has argued for devolution (in his book “Genetic Entropy & the Mystery of the Genome”) and defended the notion of Complex Specified Information. Has also apparently done some real research, though he is most famous as an inventor. His credentials are used for all they are worth by creationists as evidence for the scientific status of Intelligent Design, and he testified at the Kansas Evolution hearings.[128] Sanford used his affiliation to give a sheen of legitimacy to the conference Biological Information: New Perspectives.

Has had an anti-evolutionary article published in The Mathematical Intelligencer, which is cited by the Discovery Institute as one of the “Peer-Reviewed & Peer-Edited Scientific Publications Supporting the Theory of Intelligent Design.”[134] His main schtick is that evolution violates the Second Law of Thermodynamics, and the claim is just as poorly supported as one might expect.[135][136][137] Mark Perakh has called his work “depressingly fallacious”.[138]. Notoriously unable to see that even if evolution were to fail, it wouldn’t mean that Intelligent Design creationism is correct[139] Also writes for Uncommon Descent.[140]

Young earth creationist who has claimed that “Treating Earth history as just that, history, I can find physical and written testimony that the Earth is only 6,000 years old. And just as most of us have no problem believing Jesus Christ was a real person who lived 2,000 years ago, we should have no problem believing there were about 4,000 years from the Beginning to Christ’s birth. Studying natural history can be an interesting, fun, and adventure-filled pursuit, but it is not real science, and shouldn’t be treated like it is.” Has already displayed his belligerent incompetence on several occasions.[141] Due to his views he was appointed by Barbara Cargill to serve on science review panels that will evaluate instructional materials submitted for approval by the Texas Board of Education.

- David Snoke, Associate Professor of Physics & Astronomy, University of Pittsburgh. Co-authored a paper with Behe in 2004, “Simulating Evolution by Gene Duplication of Protein Feature that Requires Multiple Amino Acid Residues”, claiming to support the notion of Irreducible complexity. The paper was heavily criticized, to put it mildly,[148] and contrary to Behe’s claims (e.g. during the Kitzmiller v.

Famous proponent of creation geophysics and home-schooling textbook author of such books as “Exploring Creation With General Science”, which attempts to reconcile young earth creationism with scientific principles.[168] Many of the inaccuracies and inadequacies of Conservapedia’s information about science and scientific theory has been traced back to Wile.[169]
- Gregg Wilkerson, Ph.D. Geologic Science, University of Texas, El Paso. Has done some real work in geology, including contributing careful debunkings of the Paluxy River tracks. Heavily into Biblical archaeology, but supports an old earth and has said that he “believes in some aspects of evolutionary theory, but [not] that humans evolved from fishes and apes.”[170]
- Christopher Williams, Ph.D. Biochemistry, Ohio State University. Has said that “[f]ew people outside of genetics and biochemistry realize that evolutionists can still provide no substantive details at all about the origin of life … Clearly the origin of life – the foundation of evolution – is still virtually speculation,”[171] even though the question of abiogenesis does, of course, have nothing to do with the theory of evolution.
- Sarah M. Williams, Ph.D Environmental Engineering, Stanford University
- Gordon L. Wilson, Ph.D. Environmental Science and Public Policy, George Mason University. Active in the Creation Biology Society and a frequent contributor to the Answers magazine. His specialty seems to be the Origins of Natural Evil in the biological world,[172]. According to Wilson “Many pathogens, parasites, and predators have sophisticated genetic, morphological, and behavioral arsenals (natural evil) that clearly testify to the God’s eternal power and divine nature (Romans 1:20), i.e. they are not the result of mutation and natural mutation,” but that they used to be “completely benign in all respects but at the Fall the enemy (Satan, et. al.) engaged in post-Fall genetic modification and/or bestiality that resulted in creatures with malignant behavior and morphology.” Take that, evolutionists.
