“”Why 100 authors? If I were wrong, then one would have been enough!

—Albert Einstein, referring to Hundert Autoren Gegen Einstein

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. 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 984 signatures.

The Dissent is reminiscent of the 1931 anti-relativity book, Hundert Autoren Gegen Einstein (A Hundred Authors Against Einstein), which only included one physicist, and can be seen now as "a dying cry from the old guard of science" based primarily on philosophical objections.

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. However, the language of the statement is misleading. It frames the argument in a way that anyone could agree with it. So long as they don't know the Discovery Institute's true motivations (which is to undermine evolution using deceit and trickery, not to show any kind of genuine fallibility with it), anyone who is open to the idea of scientific inquiry would agree that they should be skeptical of everything, including evolution. If only the writers of the statement (i.e. creationists) were skeptical of their own ideas, which they clearly aren't.

The petition is considered a fallacious 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 roughly 700 dissenters who originally signed the petition would have represented about 0.063% 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. (The roughly 150 biologist Darwin Dissenters would hence represent about 0.013% 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 than 0.03% of all research scientists in the world. Despite the increase in absolute number of scientists willing to sign the dissent form, the figures indicate 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 rather than a legitimate scientific dissent from the prevailing consensus.

Sowing “controversy”

The claims of the document are 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.

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 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.

In fact, when the National Centre for Science Education contacted several of the signatories, many of them admitted that they had no problem with common descent or evolution at all; one of them said that his "dissent mainly concerns the origin of life," but the theory of evolution is, of course, not a theory about the origin of life at all (though if the statement is read literally, such concerns would in fact be a reason to assent to it). In fact, several of the signatories - including quite a few of those signatories who have a real, respectable research record - have explicitly denied that they have any problems with evolution, but signed the list for other reasons (e.g. Patricia Reiff, Phillip Savage, Ronald Larson).

Of course, the Discovery Institute is using the list 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). It has, for instance, been used to support their Teach the Controversy campaigns and their relatives (“Critical Analysis of Evolution”, “Free Speech on Evolution”, “Stand Up For Science”). 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. 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; 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.

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. The institute has also compiled and distributed other misleading lists of local scientists during controversies over evolution education in Georgia, New Mexico, Ohio, and Texas.

Project Steve

See the main article on this topic: Project Steve

As a tongue-in-cheek response to the list, the National Center for Science Education started Project Steve, a list of living scientists named "Steve" (or variants of the name) who support evolution. As of February 9 2012 the list contained 1187 signatures, of which two-thirds are qualified biologists. As simple random searches will reveal, the signatories to Project Steve are overall far more consistently active scientists and researchers with real credentials.

By comparison, The Discovery Institute's list had 12 signatories whose names would have qualified them for the Steve list per 2012. The twelve constitute a motley crew that contains at least some non-scientists (Meyer, Cheesman), certified crackpots (Gift), and one single biologist named C. Steven Murphree, who, to add insult to injury, later repudiated his involvement with the Discovery list and signed Project Steve instead.

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 signed 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 (though the real numbers turn out to be far higher, since many Cedarville faculty seem to prefer to sign with their degree-awarding institution instead). 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. The same applies to Oral Roberts University.

Another striking thing about the list is the sheer number of signatories who have 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 also 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. In fact, relatively quick searches reveal that a very large percentage of the signatories have no academic affiliation at all; the number of biologists actively researching biological issues even remotely related to evolution can be counted on one hand.

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 "†" (and include far more than the ones actually noted as deceased on the original Discovery list), but there may be more than the ones actually marked as deceased here. A large percentage of those signatories who do have a research record are retired.

• F. Blick, Edward, Ph.D. Engineering Science, University of Oklahoma. Also on James Inhofe’s list of 650 scientists who supposedly dispute the global warming consensus, 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!” 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. Blick seems to have done real research (unrelated field) once upon a time, but the only papers found written during the last 20 years are “Global Warming Myth and Marxism” and “Obama’s ‘Bad Molecule CO2 Myth’ Is a Dagger in the Back of the US Economy”, neither of which is, needless to say, a peer-reviewed publication.

A pioneer of the field of magnetohydrodynamics 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.

His rants have also been picked up by Creation.com and the Christian Answers Network.
• Jorge Pimentel Cintra, University Professor, Earth Sciences, University of São Paulo. Does research in an unrelated field.
• Donald Clark, Ph.D. Physical Biochemistry, Louisiana State University. Currently Vice President of Development and Medical Affairs at Houston Biotechnology Inc.

• David Deming, Associate Professor of Geosciences, University of Oklahoma. 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, 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,” 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.
• Charles Detwiler, Ph.D. Genetics, Cornell University; currently professor of biology at Liberty University. As expected from a proponent of creationism he is not particularly concerned with doing research, but very concerned about Intelligent Design’s position in public schools.
• David A. DeWitt, Ph.D., Case Western Reserve University (thesis title, "Interactions of Glial Cells in Alzheimer's Disease"). Chair, Department of Biology & Chemistry, Liberty University – yes he is, and that tells you more about Liberty University than anything else.

• Jan Frederic Dudt, Associate Professor of Biology, Grove City College (a small fundamentalist, generally unaccredited Christian institution dedicated to fighting taxes); also Coordinator of the Center of Vision and Values, a rightwing think tank. Opposed to stem cell research because it allegedly conflicts with his Christian beliefs and because other treatments are effective in other settings. His publication record is limited to two papers from the early 90s completely unrelated to evolution; does not appear to be a working scientist.
• Karl Duff, Sc.D. Mechanical Engineering, MIT. Young earth creationist who has written plenty of creationist and anti-evolutionary screeds. Also on the Flood Science Review panel for In Jesus’ Name Productions, who apparently wants to make a movie about the Flood that “could have historic impact […] if the science upon which it is based can be sufficiently defended. It could even represent a significant challenge to the validity of the theory of Evolution.” Duff is not a scientist, and has no academic affiliation. Instead he is the author of books such as “Dating, Intimacy, and the Teenage Years”.

• Fred Van Dyke, Professor of Biology and Chair of the Biology Department, Wheaton College (Illinois), a Christian liberal arts college. Also Executive Director of the Au Sable Institute, and important champion of evangelical initiatives to take global warming seriously. Notoriously slippery when it comes to his position on evolution, though he has argued that theistic evolution is problematic from a religious perspective. At least he is open about the fact that his dissent is religiously, not scientifically, based. Has done some (apparently unrelated) research on wildlife, and has several publications and books on evangelical theology.
• David W. Dykstra, Ph.D. Computer Science, University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign. No present affiliation or research found.

• Robert Eckel, Professor of Medicine, Physiology & Biophysics, University of Colorado Health Sciences Center. Also signatory to the CMI list of scientists alive today who accept the biblical account of creation. Has publications in unrelated fields. Thinks that evolution is just a theory, and that this immediately entails that the Biblical account of creation is equally valid, that creationists and scientists just interpret the same data just under different Worldviews (overlooking the fact that creationists generally reject the data), and that evolutionists believe what they do because they haven’t accepted Jesus.
• William A. Eckert III, Ph.D. Cell & Molecular Biology, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill. Seems to be a legitimate scientist; he does not appear to work on evolution, though he does have some expertise on cell biology.

• Martin Emery, Ph.D. Chemistry, University of Southampton. No research or academic affiliation found.
• Don England, Professor Emeritus of Chemistry, Harding University, a conservative religious school. Retired. Formerly an Elder of the College Church of Christ and has written several religious books (including “A Christian View of Origin”).

Currently professor of Biology and Department Chair at Huntington University (a Christian liberal arts college that has let Evans teach an EXCEL class on the Origins of Life). Hardcore Intelligent Design proponent (and Sunday school teacher) who was on the board of reviewers for Explore Evolution. Does have a few (old) publications in unrelated fields. Also a signatory to Rethinking AIDS, a list of HIV “skeptics”.
• William Everson, Ph.D. Human Physiology, Penn State College of Medicine. No reliable information or research found.
• Donald Ewert, Ph.D. Microbiology, University of Georgia. Used to operate a research laboratory at the Wistar Institute. Currently he lectures about creationism to anyone who will listen. His talks and work consist primarily of denial, raw assertions, and misunderstandings. Has some publications in not entirely unrelated fields, however, though even his coauthors deny that the publications show what Ewert claims they show. Also testified before the Texas Board of Education during their 2009 Evolution hearings.

F

• Pamela Faith Fahey, Ph.D. Physiology & Biophysics, University of Illinois. Co-author (with Ann Gauger, Stephanie Ebnet, and Ralph Seelke) of the paper “Reductive Evolution Can Prevent Populations from Taking Simple Adaptive Paths to High Fitness,” published in the Biologic Institute’s house journal BIO-Complexity and touted by the Discovery Institute as one of the scientific publications supportive of intelligent design.

• Ferenc Farkas, Ph.D. Applied Chemical Sciences, Technical University of Budapest. No further information located.
• Kevin Farmer, Adjunct Assistant Professor, University of Oklahoma. Listed as having “Ph.D., Scientific Methodology”; the university website, however, lists him as having a PhD in Pharmacy Administration. Those are, needless to say, not the same, though Farmer's confusion about that may go some way toward explaining how Farmer ended up on the Discovery list. Well-known creationist who has appeared on Christian TV programs with standard Kent Hovind arguments against evolution. Has nevertheless contributed to some real publications, in a completely unrelated field.

• Noel Funderburk, Ph.D. Microbiology, University of North Texas. On the board of directors of Training Evangelistic Leadership, an aggressive missionary organization. Young earth creationist who thinks that the Grand Canyon is obvious evidence for the Flood and a literal interpretation of the Bible: “each time I [visit the Grand Canyon] am amaized [sic] that geologists are so blinded that they cannot see the evidence.” Not a scientist.

G

• Edward Gade, Professor Emeritus of Mathematics, University of Wisconsin, Oshkosh. No research found.
• Sandra Gade, Emeritus Professor of Physics, University of Wisconsin, Oshkosh. No research found. In 2006 she started a petition drive to ask the Oshkosh school board for an “advisory referendum” requesting that students learn evidence for and against evolution, because it is all about teaching students about Jesus rather than, you know, trying to do any research on the issue. “The way evolution is being taught is antagonistic to students’ religious beliefs,” said Gade, and therefore a violation of the First Amendment, asserting that Wisconsin students are being brainwashed.
• Daniel Galassini, Doctor of Veterinary Medicine, Kansas State University. A professional degree rather than a research degree.
• Weimin Gao, Microbiologist, Brookhaven National Laboratory. Currently Assistant Professor, Molecular Epidemiology at Texas Tech. Real scientist.
• Charles Garner, Professor of Chemistry, Baylor University. Flak for the Discovery Institute. Google scholar returns a few (co-authored) papers unrelated to evolution.

• John Garth, Ph.D. Physics, University of Illinois, Champaign-Urbana. No research record found. Currently Board Member of the Creation Science Fellowship of New Mexico.
• George A. Gates, Emeritus Professor of Otolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, University of Washington. Real scientist (retired). Has said that “I simply affirm that science and religion work in parallel magisteria and each has much to learn from the other," and that “[m]ost of creationism and ID are funded privately because they don't qualify as science," adding that he is skeptical of ID and creationism.
• Ann Gauger, Ph.D. Zoology, University of Washington. Did real and possibly relevant research during her postdoc at Harvard. Currently affiliated with the Biologic Institute. 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. Coauthor of Science and Human Origins.
• Theodore W. Geier, Ph.D. Forrest Hydrology, University of Minnesota. No affiliation or information found (apart from a single 1994 paper).
• Mark Geil, Ph.D. Biomedical Engineering. Ohio State U. Associate prof. at Georgia State U. Does real research in an unrelated field.
• 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. Does not appear to be involved in scientific research.
• 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 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, 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. Interviewed in Expelled.

• Chris Grace, Associate Professor of Psychology, Biola University. Has published extensively in religious magazines and journals such as “Journal of Theology and Psychology”, e.g. on evolutionary psychology and intelligent design, and appears to be one of the founders of what he calls “intelligent design psychology” (to replace the evolutionary psychology, evidently). No real research or scientific work found apart from a co-authored 1988 paper. Does in other words not appear to be a scientist.
• Robert J. Graham, Ph.D. Chemical Engineering, Iowa State University. No information found.
• Giulio D. Guerra, First Researcher of the Italian National Research Council (Chemistry), Istituto Materiali Compositi e Biomedici, CNR. Appears to be a respectable scientist, though his research seems not to touch on evolution.
• Thomas G. Guilliams, Ph.D. Molecular Biology, The Medical College of Wisconsin. Currently VP/Director of Science and Regulatory Affairs, Ortho Molecular Products, Inc. Listed as an “integrative practitioner” at integrativepractitioner.com, an online community of practitioners of woo. Has some publications that seem legitimate (in unrelated fields), but is also the author e.g. of “The Original Prescription: How the Latest Scientific Discoveries Can Help You Leverage the Power of Lifestyle Medicine”. His understanding of science and scientific methods is thus debatable.
• Richard Gunasekera, Ph.D. Biochemical Genetics, Baylor University. Currently Adjunct Professor and Resource Fellow, Missiology and Science, at the College of Biblical Studies. Gives lectures in various religious venues, and has been involved in the Ratio Christi Student Apologetics Alliance lecture series at Texas A&M University together with familiar creationists and intelligent design promoters.

• William Harris, Ph.D. Nutritional Biochemistry, University of Minnesota; managing director of the Intelligent Design Network, which was responsible for creating the Kansas Kangaroo Court, and at least leaning toward young earth creationism. He has, apparently, done some research on nutrition and heart disease, and gained some notoriety from a study purporting to show that prayer could help people suffering from heart disease. It was easily shown to be bunk, if anyone wondered. Does apparently struggle with the idea that science has to do with observation.
• †A.D. Harrison, Emeritus Professor of Biology, University of Waterloo
• William B. Hart, Assistant Professor of Mathematics, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Currently Research Fellow at the University of Warwick. Has a real research record, in an unrelated field.

• Richard Hassing, Ph.D. Theoretical Physics, Cornell University. Currently Associate Professor of Philosophy at the Catholic University of America. Has a few low-tier publications in unrelated fields, mostly defenses of Leo Strauss and attacks on Darwinism in favor of a conservative, Christian interpretation of Natural Law; or, in other words, a presuppositionalist defense, premised on rejecting science, of a position no serious philosopher (as opposed to fundamentalist theologian) has defended since Medieval times.
• James Pierre Hauck, Professor of Physics & Astronomy, University of San Diego. Retired; now “legal consultant and lapidarist”. May have done a little research in an unrelated field.
• Paul Hausgen, Ph.D. Mechanical Engineering, Georgia Institute of Technology. Appears to have done some unrelated research.

• David Heddle, Ph. D. Physics, Carnegie Mellon University. Associate professor at Christopher Newport University, and has written the novel “Here, eyeball this” in which he defends his version of intelligent design; Google Scholar returns a decent amount ofscientific research. A proponent of cosmological intelligent design (e.g. the fine-tuning argument), Heddle has generally been skeptical of Intelligent design in biology. Has been in disagreement with Dembski, for instance, which resulted in Dembski booting him from his blog – teaching Heddle the hard way that the Intelligent Design movement is about public relations, not discussions of science. In February 2010 he requested his name be removed from the list, as he is now a supporter of theistic evolution.
• Timothy H. Heil, Ph.D. Computer Engineering, University of Wisconsin, Madison. Has done some research in an unrelated field.
• Daniel W. Heinze, Ph.D. Geophysics from Texas A&M University. Currently board member of Vibrant Dance, which “inspire, educate, and unify pastors, scientists and others with the growing congruence of scientific discovery and the Christian faith!” Not a scientist.

• Barbara S. Helmkamp, Ph.D. Theoretical Physics, Louisiana State University. . Young earth creationist who has written some online documents arguing against “the myth of evolution” targeted at children; after all, creationism has nothing to do with science, but with religious outreach. Claims creationism is a much more explanatorily powerful hypothesis than Big Bang or evolution, since God can do anything. Currently teaching physics and chemistry at Credo Academy, a homeschool co-op in Denver. Not a scientist by a long shot.

• Miroslav Hill, Former Director of Research, Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique. Used to be a respectable scientist and researcher (was among the lab researchers who established the life cycle of retroviruses). Then he went crackpot; currently he appears to be sympathetic to something reminiscent of Rupert Sheldrake’s Morphic resonance theory, suggesting that “quantum systems” are responsible for much of adaptations at a cellular level through what some call “entangled learning”.
• Roland Hirsch, Ph.D. Analytical Chemistry, University of Michigan. Appears to have done real research in an unrelated field. Fellow at the International Society for Complexity, Information, and Design, and writes for William Dembski’s blog Uncommon Descent.

Has a real research background, however. Listed on Rethinking AIDS's list of HIV “skeptics”, though it is unclear to what extent she would agree to this listing herself. Nevertheless she entertains a serious presence at whale.to. Her signature here should probably be viewed in light of these facts.

• Neil Huber, Dr. rer. nat. (Ph.D. Anthropology), Tuebingen University. Biblical literalist; originally associated with Wisconsin State University, but renounced science in 1990. Currently his view is “to start with the assumption of the authority of the Bible, looking at all the evidence that it presents for trusting it. Then build your science from there, based upon the Bible’s truth.” Currently affiliated with the Imago Dei Institute, a Bible college. Not presently a scientist, but even from his years in Wisconsin Google Scholar returns only a single 1969 paper. Also signatory to the CMI list of scientists alive today who accept the biblical account of creation.

• Cornelius Hunter, Ph.D. Biophysics, University of Illinois; adjunct professor of biophysics at Biola University. Fellow at the Discovery Institute who maintains the website Darwin's Predictions, where he purportedly shows that the theory of evolution has been falsified with notoriously bad arguments and misleading claims. Does not understand evolution, and displays little understanding of science or its methodology. Scant evidence of real research found. Has bought hardcore into the “Darwin critics are persecuted” myth, and has claimed that the 2005 Kitzmiller v. Dover case “was a disaster for evolution” since “evolutionists paid a […] cost which can’t be measured in dollars. They gave up their soul.”
• Seyyed Imran Husnain, Ph.D. Bacterial Genetics, University of Sheffield. Has contributed to three or four papers on bacteriology. Cannot find any current academic affiliation.
• Wolfgang Hutter, Ph.D. Chemistry, University of Ulm. Currently Gemeindeleiter der Freien Christengemeinde Ecclesia Laupheim. Has no current academic affiliation, and is not a working scientist.

• Rodney Ice, Principle Research Scientist, Nuclear & Radiological Engineering, Georgia Institute of Technology. Retired (though used to be a real scientist in an unrelated field).
• Bridget Ingham, Ph.D. Physics, Victoria University of Wellington. Currently Technical Director of the New Zealand Synchrotron Support Programme, and appears to be involved in real, though unrelated, (industrial) research. Has claimed that “[f]aith in the Judeo-Christian God and the Bible stand up to true scientific scrutiny,” and that “[o]f all the many theories regarding the origin of the universe and the origin of life, none can be absolutely proven because there were no observers and the ‘experiment’ cannot be repeated.” (The latter is the sole piece of alleged evidence for the former.)
• Muzaffar Iqbal, Ph.D. Chemistry, University of Saskatchewan. Also an Islamic scholar and founding president of the Center for Islam and Science, Alberta. 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 between the American ID movement and Islamic creationism.
• Hiroshi Ishii, M.D., Ph.D. Behavioral Neurology, Tohoku U. Currently VP at Takasago. May have some publications in unrelated fields.
• J. Ishizaki, Associate Professor of Neuropsychology (M.D., Ph.D. Medicine), Kobe Gakuin University. Has a few unrelated publications in psychology (ageing and therapy).

• Tony Jelsma, Ph.D. Biochemistry, McMaster University. Currently Professor of Biology at Dordt College, a Reformed Christian College that teaches creationism rather than evolution (the program is of course non-accredited). Hardcore creationist, who appears to suffer from a severe case of confirmation bias: “as I pursued the biological sciences I was aware that my views would be challenged, but I knew that evolution was wrong, God’s Word is true and I had confidence that any new findings I had would simply confirm my view.”
• Matthew A. Jenks, Professor of Horticultural Science, Purdue University (the university website lists him as “Adjunct Professor”). Seems to be involved in real research, but primarily on breeding for fruit quality; it is not clear that any of the research touches on evolution.
• †David William Jensen, Professor of Biology, Tomball College.
• Lyle H. Jensen, Emeritus professor, Dept. of Biological Structure & Dept. of Biochemistry, Washington State University. Appears to have a real research record in biochemistry, and has as such been of deep interest to the Discovery Institute (Evolution News and Views has run a multi-part series of interviews with him). Involved in the Teach the Controversy campaigns in Ohio in 2006: “I strongly urge you to retain the Critical Analysis of Evolution Lesson Plan so that Ohio students are objectively informed concerning the facts of biology and trained to be better scientists.”
• Ferenc Jeszenszky, Former Head of the Center of Research Groups, Hungarian Academy of Sciences. Educated as a physicist and central in the Hungarian “Creation Research” movement. Has contributed to several creationist “documentaries”, such as “Nature’s IQ: Smart Animals Challenge Darwin”, together with luminaries such as Michael Cremo. His brand of creationism is apparently summed up in the screed “Evolution, Intelligent Design, and Creationism”, which emphasizes the scientific basis for creationism while consisting mainly of Bible verses and equating “evolutionists” with atheists. No research record found; does not appear to be a scientist.
• Bradley R. Johnson, Ph.D. Materials Science, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Currently Technical Group Manager at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory. May have some research in unrelated fields.

He presently works for the Christian Schools’ Trust as their research consultant for curriculum development, and has published several papers in the house journal of the Creation Research Society.
• David Jones, Professor of Biochemistry & Chair of Chemistry, Grove City College, and institution where – according to their website – “[professors] don't cloister themselves to work on research while leaving classroom instruction to assistants;” so it is perhaps no surprise that Google Scholar returns no research for Jones. Furthermore, at the Department of Chemistry “we attempt to instill in our students an awareness of the beauty and design in nature that reflects the creative hand of God.” Also associated with The Center for Vision and Values, a conservative think tank, where he has used his position to promote teaching creationism in public schools.
• Jeffrey M. Jones, Professor Emeritus in Medicine, University of Wisconsin, Madison. Seems to be a respectable researcher, but his field of expertise is unrelated to evolution per se.

• Robert Kaita, Ph.D. Nuclear Physics, Rutgers University. Fellow of the Discovery Institute’s Center for Science and Culture and contributor to the Dembski-edited anthology “Mere Creation: Science, Faith & Intelligent Design”. Currently Principal Research Physicist in the Plasma Physics Laboratory at Princeton University, and has a respectable publication record in an unrelated field.
• Robert O. Kalbach, Ph.D. Physical Chemistry, University of South Florida. No current affiliation or research found.
• Ingolf Kanestrøm, Professor Emeritus, Department of Geoscience, University of Oslo. Google scholar reveals no peer-reviewed research in serious journals, but he is perhaps the most central defender of Intelligent Design creationism in Norway (where the idea has admittedly had little impact), and denies that intelligent design is a religious doctrine (though he is of course religious himself), citing Antony Flew, Michael Ruse and ”Randley [sic] Monton” as evidence. So there.
• Donald A. Kangas, Professor of Biology, Truman State U. Emeritus. Google scholar returns two 1970 papers. Apparently not a scientist.
• Edwin Karlow, Chair, Department of Physics, LaSierra University (a small, fundamentalist, Seventh-day Adventist institution). Has written a bit on teaching, as well as several theological inquiries (e.g. for Spectrum Magazine), but no scientific research record found. Appears to be a teacher and theologian, not a scientist.
• Olaf Karthaus, Associate Professor, Chemistry, Chitose Institute of Science & Technology in Japan. A respectable scientist in his field, which is polymer chemistry and nano-technology, not biology. Karthaus is a vociferous critic of evolution who has claimed that “the theory of evolution is not scientific” since it is allegedly not falsifiable.
• Gary Kastello, Ph.D. Biology, University of Wisonsin-Milwaukee. Currently professor, Dept. of Health, Exercise, and Rehabilitative Sciences, Winona State University. Involved in a few publications on physical therapy.
• Shane A. Kasten, Post-Doctoral Fellow, Virginia Commonwealth U. Appears to have some research that seems unrelated to the issue.
• Michael J. Kavaya, Senior Scientist, NASA Langley Research Center. Seems to be a respectable researcher in an unrelated field; also pushes anti-evolution to kids in churches and Sunday schools (he does no research in those fields; it is all a matter outreach for Jesus).
• Michael N. Keas, Professor of History and Philosophy of Science, The College at Southwestern (Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary). Senior Fellow at the Discovery Institute. Not a scientist, though he nevertheless “leads workshops for science teachers on how to teach about controversial subjects such as Darwinism.” Taught an Intelligent Design course, “Unified Studies: Introduction to Biology”, at the Oklahoma Baptist University, one of few such courses that have been taught for credit at an accredited institution.
• James Keener, Professor of Mathematics & Adjunct of Bioengineering, University of Utah. Has done research, though apparently not anything related to evolution (though he has written and talked about evolution and creationism in other venues, such as the American Scientific Affiliation). Also on the editorial team of Bio-Complexity.

Jed Macosko) to the anthology “Darwin’s Nemesis: Phillip Johnson and the Intelligent Design Movement”. Also on the editorial team of Bio-Complexity.
• Rebecca Keller, Research Professor, Department of Chemistry, University of New Mexico. Currently a home-schooling mom with no academic or research affiliation. She is 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 a homeschooling audience 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) who views her mission primarily as doing outreach to children, not research. There’s a pattern here.
• Robert W. Kelley, Ph.D. Entomology, Clemson University. Senior Environmental Scentist for ETT Environmental Inc. Appears to have some publications from the 1980s.

• Scott S. Kinnes, Professor of Biology, Azusa Pacific University. No research record found; publication lists on his webpages feature internal documents written for his employer as well as publications in undergraduate journals(!) (presumably coauthored with his students). Staunch fundamentalist and creationist, as shown by the bibliography he assembled for Science and Faith Integration. Cannot reasonably be counted as a scientist.
• Stephen C. Knowles, Ph.D. Marine Science, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill. Currently affiliated with the US Army Corps of Engineers; does research in unrelated fields.

L

• Martin LaBar, Ph. D. Genetics & Zoology, University of Wisconsin, Madison. Later professor and Chairman of the Division of Natural Science and Mathematics at Southern Wesleyan University; now retired. No scientific research publications found. Explains his views on evolution in his blog, where he shows that his dissent is, suffice to say, not even remotely scientific.

• Teresa Larranaga, Ph.D. Pharmacology, U. of New Mexico. Currently Administrator at Presbyterian Healthcare Services. Not a scientist.
• JoAnne Larsen, Assistant Professor of Industrial Engineering, University of South Florida, Lakeland. Has said that she had “been exposed to” Intelligent Design and found it interesting but signed the petition primarily because scientists have refused to entertain the possibility that the theory of evolution is flawed, and that “[u]nfortunately, in major universities, academic freedom doesn't exist.” No updated information or affiliation, and no research, located.
• Ronald Larson, Professor, Chair of Chemical Engineering, U. of Michigan. A respectable researcher in an unrelated field. Signed the petition not because he has any problems with evolution, but because he doesn’t think Darwinism explains abiogenesis, which it does, of course, not purport to do to begin with.
• Joseph Lary, Epidemiologist and Research Biologist (retired), Ctrs. for Disease Control. Seems to have some research in unrelated fields.
• Mark J. Lattery, Associate Professor of Physics, U. of Wisconsin-Oshkosh. Has some unrelated publications on physics teaching.
• Robert Lattimer, Ph.D. Chemistry, University of Kansas, Lawrence. At the BFGoodrich Research & Development Cente, and has done some completely unrelated research. Has said about his support of ID that “[a]mong scientists, we're a distinct minority. Among the public, I'd say I'm easily in the majority,” which was apparently intended as an argument for the scientific legitimacy of Intelligent Design. Has a long history of trying to push creationism in public schools, partially through his creationist organization Citizens for Excellence in Education. Appointed to the Ohio science standard writing committee in 2002, where he suggested teaching creationism (ID) in Ohio schools and became more or less responsible for the subsequent debate. Lattimer used to be a standard Biblical creationist, but switched to Intelligent Design for political reasons, which he has for a decade been pushing to various congregations, schoolboards, and others willing to listen. Of course, it is all about marketing – Lattimer hasn’t even considered trying to support Intelligent Design by research or science.
• M. Harold Laughlin, Professor & Chair, Department of Biomedical Sciences, University of Missouri. Has done some research on the cardiovascular effects of exercise (which is not obviously related to the question at hand).

• J.B. Lee, Assistant Professor of Electrical Engineering, University of Texas, Dallas. Appears to do real research in unrelated fields.
• Raul Leguizamon, Professor of Medicine, Autonomous University of Guadalajara. Hardcore creationist: “I am absolutely convinced of the lack of true scientific evidence in favour of Darwinian dogma. Nobody in the biological sciences, medicine included, needs Darwinism at all [note that Leguizamon is not a biologist]. Darwinism is certainly needed, however, in order to pose as a philosopher, since it is primarily a worldview.” Hardly a scientist; neither Google Scholar nor PubMed returned any research, and his books and articles criticizing evolution are not published in serious, peer-reviewed venues.
• Matti Leisola, Professor, Laboratory of Bioprocess Engineering, Helsinki University of Technology. Emeritus. Has a real research record in a not entirely irrelevant field, and is as such one of few signatories with real credentials. Hardcore creationist.

Also signatory to the CMI list of scientists alive today who accept the biblical account of creation.
• Catherine Lewis, Ph.D. Geophysics, Colorado School of Mines. At Exxon Production Research; may have research in unrelated fields.
• Roger Lien, Ph.D. Physiology, North Carolina State University. Currently Associate Professor at Auburn University. Has some research in unrelated fields. Says that he earlier accepted evolution, but realized that “the world is broken, and we humans and our science can't fix it. I was brought to Jesus Christ and God and creationism and believing in the Bible,” adding that he thought that evolution was “inconsistent with what the Bible says,” which does not count as scientific dissent.
• Walter E. Lillo, Ph.D. Electrical Engineering, Purdue University. May be affiliated with the Aerospace Corporation. Appears to do some research, but no serious publication found since the early 90s. Also dabbles in philosophy, trying to argue from Pyrrhonian skepticism that atheism cannot be a foundation for science since everything would be uncertain and the problem of induction, rather unwilling to see that Pyrrhonian skepticism would apply to religion as well, thereby making him just another Christian presuppositionalist.
• Hsin-Yi Lin, Assistant Professor, Dept. of Chemical Engineering & Biotechnology, National Taipei University of Technology. Has some low-tier publications in unrelated fields.
• Shieu-Hong Lin, Assistant Professor of Computer Science, Biola University. Appears to do research in unrelated fields.

• Alan Linton, Emeritus Professor of Bacteriology, University of Bristol. VP of the Prophetic Witness Movement International, author of “Israel in History and Prophecy”, and central in the British creationist movement. Apparently convinced then-prince Charles III, who said: “As Professor Alan Linton of Bristol University has written, ‘evolution is a man-made theory to explain the origin and continuance of life on this planet without reference to a creator’,” which is a complete misrepresentation by a known promoter of pseudoscience. No original research less than 30 years old found.
• Theodor Liss, Ph.D. Chemistry, MIT. May have some publications from the 1960s. No updated information found.
• Garrick Little, Ph.D. Organic Chemistry, Texas A & M University. At LI-COR Biosciences; retired. Has a few publications in an unrelated field, some of which seem legitimate. Biblical literalist who has defended Intelligent Design in various places, claiming that the fact that there is still public discussion about evolution shows that Intelligent Design must be a solid scientific theory.
• Stephen Lloyd, Ph.D. Materials Science, University of Cambridge. Does not hold an academic position and seems not to have been involved in research. Currently pastor of Hope Baptist Church in Gravesend, Kent, and works part-time as a speaker and writer for Biblical Creation Ministries.

Used to claim that the “Darwinian presentation of evolution has become the arch enemy of the Word of God and is the work of an anti-Christ;” also Hitler and pretty much every other creationist PRATT in the book.
• Raúl Erlando López, Ph.D. Atmospheric Science, Colorado State University. May have done research in the 1970s, but currently seems to publish only in the Journal of Creation Research, Answers Magazine and similar young earth creationist venues.

• Malcolm W. MacArthur, Ph.D. Molecular Biophysics, U. of London. Appears to have a research record, but little information found.
• Christopher Macosko, Ph.D. Chemical Engineering, Princeton University. Professor at University of Minnesota and recipient of Templeton funding, apparently to study intelligent design (he has done real research as well, but in a completely unrelated field). Macosko apparently became a born-again Christian as an assistant professor after a falling-out with a business partner, and for many years he would teach the freshman seminar “Life: By Chance or By Design?” According to Macosko “[a]ll the students who finish my course say, ‘Gee, I didn’t realize how shaky evolution is.’ ”
• Jed Macosko, Ph.D. Chemistry, University of California, Berkeley. A Fellow of William Dembski’s International Society for Complexity, Information, and Design and Fellow of the Discovery Institute’s Center for Science and Culture between 2001 and 2003. He is currently 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, and is perhaps best known for co-editing, with Dembski, “A Man For This Season: The Phillip Johnson Celebration Volume”. Also on the editorial team of Bio-Complexity.

Maki responded to the charges by attempting to bully the investigators. Despite the facts of the matter the University allowed him to retain his position as professor, though he has later retired.
• Wusi Maki, Research Asst. Professor, Dept. of Microbiology, Mol. Biology, & Biochem., University of Idaho. Signatory to the Discovery Institute initiated Amicus Brief supporting Intelligent Design in the Kitzmiller v. Dover case.

• Robert Marks, 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. 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). Suffice to say that they do not quite show what Marks and Dembski think they show. Marks’s creationist view is highlighted in “Genesis and Science: Compatibility Extraordinaire.”
• Joseph M. Marra, Director, Interventional Radiology, & Adjunct Professor of Medicine, Niagara Falls Memorial Medical Center. Radiologist; not involved in science (Google scholar returns a single paper from 1999).
• Glenn A. Marsch, Associate Professor of Physics, Grove City College. Has done some research, as well as work on how modern physics purportedly points to Jesus. Claims that liberals are as anti-science as young-earth creationists because of their adherence to the pagan religion of environmentalism and that scientists with a Christian worldview are persecuted.

• 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 on evolution or 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,” which is not a scientific dissent. Also Contributing Editor for Reformation & Revival Journal. Does not appear to be a scientist at all (no scientific research found).
• 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; also 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. Claims that his research suggests that the Bombardier beetle is unlikely to have been brought about through natural selection. Has published on the bombardier beetle in various pseudojournals and some (apparently) real engineering journals (on what engineering can learn from these beetles) – not in biology journals since the biology of bombardier beetles is in fact well understood, and no problem for the theory of evolution.
• Tom McMullen, Ph.D. History & Philosophy of Science, Indiana University. Currently at Georgia Southern University. Hardcore creationist who appears to fancy himself a “real scientist”, apparently claiming that most of the scientific research favoring evolution is “fraud”. Says that evolution is a matter of belief and that the "religion of humanism" is pushing for evolution without scientific support. Does not appear to be involved in research in any field, and is definitely not a scientist.
• William McVaugh, Associate Professor of Biology, Department of Natural Sciences, Malone College (a small, fundamentalist evangelical liberal arts college). No research found.
• †David B. Medved, Ph.D. Physics, University of Pennsylvania. Seems to have a respectable track record in technology development, but has also written books such as “Hidden Light: Science Secrets of the Bible”. Father of Michael Medved.

• J. C. Meredith, Assistant Professor, Chemical Engineering, Georgia Institute of Technology. Real researcher, unrelated field.
• Jussi Meriluoto, Professor, Dept. of Biochemistry & Pharmacy, Abo Akademi U. Does research in not obviously entirely unrelated fields.
• Stephen C. Meyer, Ph.D. Philosophy of Science, Cambridge University. Not a scientist, though he worked as a geophysicist for the Atlantic Richfield Company early in his career. One of the main characters in the Intelligent Design movement; co-founder and vice-president of the Discovery Institute’s Center for Science and Culture and described as “the person who brought ID to DI”. Co-author of Explore Evolution, contributor to Of Pandas and People, author of Signature in the Cell, which contained a dozen ID-inspired predictions that don’t quite conform to the general format of scientific predictions. Meyer is partially responsible for the Wedge document, and for the Teach the controversy strategy, and has been caught being dishonest on numerous occasions.
• †Ruth C. Miles, Professor of Chemistry, Malone College (a small, fundamentalist evangelical liberal arts college).

• Thomas Milner, Associate Professor of Biomedical Engineering, University of Texas, Austin. Real scientist, unrelated field (optical tomographic imaging modalities and laser surgical procedures).
• Forrest Mims, Atmospheric Researcher, Geronimo Creek Observatory. Has no formal academic training in science, but has nevertheless written quite a bit about science (most famous for his instructional electronics books). Mims teaches electronics and atmospheric science at the University of the Nations, an unaccredited Christian university in Hawaii. 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. He also received some flak for his claim that ecologist Eric Pianka advocates mass genocide by ebola.
• Scott Minnich, Professor, Dept of Microbiology, Molecular Biology & Biochemistry, University of Idaho, (Wikipedia says “associate professor of microbiology”). Fellow at the Discovery Institute's Center for Science and Culture. Hardcore promoter of Irreducible complexity and co-author of “Explore Evolution” with Stephen Meyer. A central witness for the Defense in Kitzmiller v. Dover. Caught listing conference presentations on Intelligent design as peer reviewed research, though he has some real published research as well and is one of few central ID proponents with legitimate credentials.

• Glen Needham, Associate Professor of Entomology; Ohio State U. Works in an unrelated field, but known proponent of Intelligent Design. Played a significant role in the Bryan Leonard affair, which once again showcased the dubious tactics of the ID movement.
• Ed Neeland, Professor of Chemistry, Okanagan University. Has a few publications, but seems primarily to have published on education for the last 15 years. Runs a local creationist club where he equates the theory of Evolution with the Big Bang and abiogenesis. Does evidently not understand the notion of falsifiability. Fond of strawmen.
• B. K. Nelson, Research Toxicologist (retired), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Has done real research (unrelated field).
• Bijan Nemati, Ph.D. High Energy Physics, University of Washington. Currently Senior Engineer at the Jet Propulsion Lab (California Institute of Technology). Featured in the Discovery Institute-produced documentary “The Privileged Planet” together with several of the luminaries of the ID movement. Involved in research, but it has nothing to do with biology.
• Richard R. Neptune, Associate Professor, Department of Mechanical Engineering, University of Texas, Austin. Been involved in research, e.g. on bipedal walking (some of which explicitly relies on evolution and is evidence for, not against, it).
• David Ness, Ph.D. Anthropology, Temple University. No information, affiliation or research found.
• Paul Nesselroade, Associate Professor of Experimental Psychology, Asbury College (a small Christian liberal arts college). Contributor to The Wedge Update, a creationist blog in support of the Discovery Institute’s Wedge document, where he for instance defends Georgia State’s superintendent’s proposal to remove the word “evolution” from science textbooks since this motion may be helpful in promoting Intelligent Design. May have a few low-tier publications in unrelated fields.
• Richard J. Neves, Professor of Fisheries, Virginia Tech. Retired. Has a research record, though his field is not directly related.
• Robert Newman, Ph.D. Astrophysics, Cornell University. Currently Professor of New Testament and Director of the Interdisciplinary Biblical Research Institute at the Biblical Theological Seminary of Hatfield. Has written extensively about Genesis, evolution, creationism, and science, but is not a scientist; no real research record found. Thinks that certain complex features of organisms to support e.g. predation are the work not of God, but of "malevolent spirit beings" (or perhaps "the work of non-spiritual intelligences (extra-terrestrials)"), which is evidence for the controversial hypothesis that "the fall of Satan is much earlier than that of Adam, and creation is already not so good by the time Adam comes along.
• John Nichols, Ph.D. Mathematics, University of Tennessee. Later at Oklahoma Baptist University (retired) and State Secretary for the Oklahoma Gideons. Has some online documents on software application, but no real research record found.
• M.M. Ninan, Former President, Hindustan Academy of Science, Bangalore University. Batshit crazy crackpot and conspiracy theorist. Trained as an engineer, but emphatically not a scientist. Instead, Ninan is a missionary who teaches the Bible and has written a long row of books, including “Angels, Demons, and All the Hosts of Heaven and Earth” and “Hinduism: What Really Happened in India”, where he tries to argue that Hinduism is much younger than previously thought and in fact originated as "a Heresy of the Early Indian Christianity established by St.Thomas who landed in India in AD 52 and had his mission till AD 72.”
• Art Nitz, Ph.D. Anatomy & Neurobiology, University of Kentucky. Now Professor of Physical Therapy at the same institution. Appears to have some publications on sports medicine. Also gives creationist talks at various venues, and is chairman of the Kentucky Family Foundation as well as president of the Frankfort Alliance Church Of The Christian And Missionary Alliance, Inc.
• Alastair M. Noble, Ph.D. Chemistry, U. of Glasgow. Director of the Centre for Intelligent Design in Glasgow. Has suggested that Intelligent Design should be taught in British public schools. Calls himself “educational consultant and lay preacher.” Not an active scientist.

O

• Don Olson, Ph.D. Analytical Chemistry, Purdue University. CEO of Global Fia, Inc. and a scientist in an unrelated field. Has also written and given lectures about “the harmony between science and Christian beliefs.”
• Dónal O'Mathúna, Ph.D. Pharmacognosy, Ohio State University; professor of Bioethics & of Chemistry at Mount Carmel College of Nursing; and involved in the Xenos Christian Fellowship. Has written on a lot of issues, including (with Walt Larimore) the book “Alternative Medicine: the Christian handbook”, which defends alternative medical treatments that are based on a Christian approach to holistic health. A well-known defender of woo, in particular therapeutic touch, and would probably not be able to distinguish science from pseudoscience under any circumstances.
• †John Omdahl, Professor of Biochemistry & Molecular Biology, University of New Mexico. Famous for devoting part of the final lecture in his biochemistry and molecular biology class (which avoided introducing evolution to students) with his reasons for favoring Intelligent Design. Also co-signatory to the Ad Hoc Origins Committee letter defending Phillip Johnson after Stephen Jay Gould’s scathing review of “Darwin on Trial”. In 2002 he wrote a letter to science department chairs of 77 New Mexico middle and high schools, accompanied by a copy of Michael Behe’s “Darwin’s Black Box”, using his affiliation to promote it. Also contributed a chapter (co-authored with John Oller) to J.P. Moreland’s anthology “Creation Hypothesis”.
• Jane M. Orient, Clinical Lecturer in Medicine, University of Arizona College of Medicine. Executive director of the wingnut quack organization Association of American Physicians and Surgeons, whose journal JPANDS published an infamous and deeply flawed study linking abortion and breast cancer (the author, Joel Brind, is also a signatory to this list) as well as papers in support of HIV denialism. Also contact for the AAPS Educational Foundation, Doctors for Disaster Preparedness, Physicians for Civil Defense, and the Southwestern Institute of Science. Known to promote anti-vaccine articles, e.g. by the Geier family. Also faculty member at Oregon Institute for Science and Medicine and vehement global warming denialist.
• Rebecca Orr, Ph.D. Cell Biology, University of Texas, Southwestern. Currently at Collin County Community College. Does not seem to be involved in research at present.
• Robert D. Orr, Professor of Family Medicine, University of Vermont College of Medicine. Currently (also?) Senior Fellow of Bioethics and Human Dignity at Trinity International University. His recent work is concerned with bioethics from a Christian fundamentalist perspective; no actual scientific research located.
• Lawrence Overzet, Professor of Engineering & Computer Science, U. of Texas, Dallas. Has a decent but unrelated research record.

P

• Philip R. Page, Ph.D. Theoretical Particle Physics, University of Oxford. Currently Research Scientist at Los Alamos National Laboratory. Has done some research in an unrelated field. Has also written for Dembski’s organization, the International Society for Complexity, Information, and Design.
• Mehmet Pakdemirli, Professor of Mechanical Engineering, Celal Bayar University. Has a decent research record in unrelated fields.
• Emil Palecek, Prof. of Molecular Biology, Masaryk University (Dept. of Pharmacology). Has a decent research record, but it does not seem to touch on evolution.
• Einar W. Palm, Professor Emeritus, Dept. of Plant Pathology, U. of Missouri, Columbia. Google scholar returns no research publications.
• Sami Palonen, Ph.D. Analytical Chemistry, U. of Helsinki. Currently at the Dept. of Chemistry. Does research in an unrelated field.

• Janet Parker, Professor of Medical Physiology, Texas A&M University, Health Science Center. Seems to do research in unrelated fields.
• Lynne Parker, Professor of Computer Science, Distributed Intelligence Lab, University of Tennessee. Seems to be a respected scientist in her field, which is not particularly directly related to evolution – though some of her work may not be entirely irrelevant.
• Darrell R. Parnell, Ph. D. University Level Science Education, Kansas State U. No affiliation or research found for the last 50 years. Said that evolution is “not science because it's close-minded. It's not open to anything else. You've got to think outside the box, and that's what some scientists have done before."
• Ken Pascoe, Ph.D. Electrical Engineering Air Force Institute of Technology. Chief, Directed Energy Weapons Safety at the US Air Force. Has done research in an unrelated field.
• Rafe Payne, Ph.D. Biology, U. of Nebraska. Emeritus professor of biology, Biola U. Appears to have a few older research publications.
• Russel Peak, Senior Researcher, Engineering Information Systems, Georgia Institute of Technology. No information or research found.
• Gérald Pech, Ph.D. Satellite Communications & Networking, Supaero. No affiliation or research found.
• †S. W. Pelletier, Emeritus Distinguished Professor of Chemistry, University of Georgia, Athens.
• Edward Peltzer, Ph.D. Oceanography, University of California, San Diego (Scripps Institute). Senior research specialist at the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute and has some peer-reviewed publications. Extensively used by creationists, e.g. in the Kansas Evolution Hearings; after a lengthy presentation on the problems of abiogenesis Peltzer spent the last minute of his testimony to launch an incoherent rant about “the religion of naturalism” in modern science, asserting his position as an old-earth creationist. He has done some serious work related to global warming, however.
• A. Cordell Perkes, Ph.D. Science Education, Ohio State U. Has a few unrelated publications, though none from the last 30 years.
• Todd Peterson, Ph.D. Plant Physiology, University of Rhode Island. Also signatory to the apparently Discovery Institute initiated Amicus Brief supporting Intelligent Design in Kitzmiller v. Dover. Has some publications in apparently unrelated fields.
• 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, 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.
• Martin Poenie, Associate Professor of Molecular and Cell Biology, University of Texas, Austin. Involved in real research, and is indeed among the vanishingly small number of signatories with real credentials and a relevant research background. But even though he is a signatory to the list, Poenie does not appear to reject evolution, and has for instance voiced his opposition to creationist attempts to get the Texas Board of Education to adopt more creationist friendly language in their public education standards. He has explained his position in a letter to the Board, where he also pointed out that the Discovery Institute had used his name without authorization in their “40 Texas Scientists Skeptical of Darwin” list (a spin-off from the Scientific Dissent one targeted specifically at Texas).
• Richard W. Pooley, Professor of Surgery (retired), New York Medical College. Has done research in an unrelated field. Also affiliated with the Ludwig von Mises Institute in Auburn, Alabama.
• Carl Poppe, Ph.D. Physics, University of Wisconsin. Currently at Livermore Laboratory, and has some publications in unrelated fields, but none from the last 15 years has been located.
• Mark C. Porter, Ph.D. Chemical Engineering, MIT. Appears in a few publications from the early 70s; no updated information found.
• William J. Powers, Ph.D. Physics, University California, San Diego. No further information found.
• Ernest Prabhakar, Ph.D. Experimental Particle Physics, California Institute of Technology. Open Source Product Manager. Does not appear to be involved in scientific research.
• Tony Prato, Prof. of Ecological Economics, University of Missouri (emeritus). Has done real research in an unrelated field.
• David Prentice, Professor, Dept. of Life Sciences, Indiana State University. Not currently affiliated with Indiana State; instead Senior Fellow for Life Sciences at the Family Research Council and former science advisor to Sam Brownback (a known promoter of creationism). 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. His claim was backed up by the assertion that adult stem cells have treated at least 65 human diseases, but when scientists curious about the number checked his list of research allegedly supporting his claim, they found that one entry was based on an anecdote in a newspaper article, others on statements of personal opinion in Congressional testimony, and of the cited references few if any actually support Prentice’s claim. Despite being obviously fraudulent, the list has been cited innumerable times by wingnuts who like Prentice’s conclusion and would like it to be correct, such as Karl Rove.
• Mark Pritt, Ph.D. Mathematics, Yale University. Cannot verify any current affiliation or research.
• Mark L. Psiaki, Professor of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, Cornell U. A very respectable scientist, in an unrelated field.
• Alexander F. Pugach, Ph.D. Astrophysics, Ukrainian Academy of Sciences. Appears to have some publications in unrelated fields.
• Pattle Pun. Professor of Biology, Wheaton College (a religious institution), and Fellow of the Discovery Institute’s Center for Science and Culture. Calls himself a ‘progressive’ creationist, and has a few publications in real, low-tier journals, as well as many publications in religious journals and several religious books.
• William Purcell, Ph.D. Physical Chemistry, Princeton U. Currently CEO, Molecular Design International Inc. No recent publication found.
• Georgia Purdom,Ph.D. Molecular Genetics, Ohio State University. 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. Despite her own assertions to the contrary, she is not, by any measure, a scientist.
• Christian W. Puritz, Ph.D. Mathematics, University of Glasgow. Published a paper or two in the 1970s, but seems later to have been involved primarily in mathematics education. No affiliation found.

R

• Larry B. Rainey, Principal Space Systems Engineer, Missile Defense Agency. Works in a completely unrelated field.
• Fazale Rana, Ph.D. Chemistry, Ohio University (where he received his Ph.D.; he is currently affiliated with the Reasons To Believe Ministry). 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 could apparently not answer that one. 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.
• Luke Randall, Ph.D. Molecular Microbiology, University of London. Apparently a young earth creationist. Affiliated with the Department of Food and Environmental Safety, Veterinary Laboratories, and co-author of some research papers
• Paul Randolph, Ph.D. Mathematical Statistics, University of Minnesota. No information, affiliation, or publications confirmed.
• James E. Rankin, Ph.D. General Relativity, Yeshiva U. Consultant at Rankin Consulting. Google Scholar returns a single 1979 paper.
• Don Ranney, Emeritus Professor of Anatomy and Kinesiology, University of Waterloo. Has published in unrelated fields. Currently appears to spend his time doing pseudo-philosophy, including praising Mario Beauregard & Denyse O'Leary’s Non-materialist neuroscience tract “The Spiritual Brain”.
• Dennis Dean Rathman, Staff Scientist, MIT Lincoln Laboratory. Seems to be second-author on a few publications in unrelated fields. Also signatory to a HIV denialist petition for a “Scientific Reappraisal of the HIV-AIDS Hypothesis”.
• Alfred G. Ratz, Ph.D. Engineering Physics, U. of Toronto. Most recent publication from 1975. No current affiliation or information found.
• David Reed, Ph.D Entomology, University of California, Riverside. No further information, affiliation, or research found.
• Colin R. Reeves, Professor of Operational Research (Ph.D. Evolutionary Algorithms), Coventry University. Currently emeritus. Has published papers on applications of neural networks to pattern recognition problems. Has also published articles with the Biblical Creation Society and said that “[w]ithout the initial activity of an intelligent agent, the evolutionary mill has no grist to work on.” Also on the editorial team of Bio-Complexity and affiliated with the Biologic Institute.
• Patricia Reiff, Director, Rice Space Institute, Rice University. Real researcher in an unrelated field. Has said that she agreed to have her name added to the Discovery list because there are events in the evolutionary process that are mathematically “quite improbable.” Reiff is nevertheless convinced by the evidence for evolution, and her additional claim that “life from nonlife is very, very improbable” has nothing to do with evolution.
• Scott A. Renner, Ph.D. Computer Science, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Has done a bit of science. No current academic affiliation found (works for MITRE).
• Anthony Reynolds, Ph.D. Philosophy of Science (thesis on the Argument for Design), University of London. No information located.
• Dan Reynolds, Ph.D. Organic Chemistry, U. of Texas, Austin. Senior Scientific Investigator, GlaxoSmithKline; Chairman, the Triangle Association for the Science of Creation, and heavily involved in creation "science". Appears to have some publications in unrelated fields.

• Terry Rickard, Ph.D. Engineering Physics, University of California, San Diego. Research Director at Distributed Infinity, Inc. Appears to do research in an unrelated field.
• John P. Rickert, Ph.D. Mathematics, Vanderbilt University. Currently a Catholic priest who campaigns against reductionism by giving talks in churches. Young earth creationist, and seems to have quite a bit of trouble understanding even the basics of reasoning. No research record found; not a scientist.
• Karen Rispin, Assistant Professor of Biology, LeTourneau University (a fundamentalist institution “built upon a foundation of biblical authority”). Does apparently not have a Ph.D. and is as such not formally qualified for the list even by the Discovery Institute's already relaxed standards. Has published some abstracts on wheelchairs, as well as on local web outlets, but it is doubtful that these count as research publications.
• Eliot Roberts, Ph.D. Soil Chemistry, Rutgers University. Director of the Lawn Institute, a non-profit organization that provides lawn care advice, for instance on how to mow the lawn properly. Does have some research publications from the 1960s.
• Arthur B. Robinson, Professor of Chemistry, Oregon Institute of Science & Medicine. Infamous crank magnet, dominionist, AIDS denialist, and responsible for the Oregon Petition.

• Edson R. Rocha, Research Assistant Professor, Microbiology, East Carolina University. Currently Pharmacist/Biochemist, State University of Londrina. Has some publications; those few that are not unrelated to evolution assume and does not attempt to challenge it.
• John S. Roden, Associate Professor of Biology, Southern Oregon University. Has some publications in unrelated fields (environmental issues and plant health/ecology).
• Charles A. Rodenberger, Ph.D. Aerospace Engineering, University of Texas, Austin. Later professor at Texas A&M University; now retired, but teaches Sunday school and writes for Livestock Weekly. Has said that he is “convinced that Evolution is a nonscientific teaching based on faith because the laws of physics and chemistry prove that evolution of living molecules from the random interaction of hydrogen atoms is statistically impossible.” Has implored the United Methodist Church to teach the “evolution/creation controversy” in church. Has a few unrelated publications, fewer in reputable journals, and none from the last 30 years.
• Miguel A. Rodriguez, Undergraduate Lab. Coordinator for Biochemistry, University of Ottawa. Retired. May have contributed to some not obviously related research.
• E. Byron Rogers, Prof. of Chemistry; Chair, Dept. of Mathematics & Physical Sciences, Lubbock Christian U. No research record located.
• Quinton Rogers, Prof. of Physiological Chemistry, Dept. of Molecular Biosciences, Univ. of California, Davis, School of Vet. Medicine. Has some publications in not obviously unrelated fields (and seems to accept evolution in those). Nevertheless caught praising Lisa A. Shiel’s “The Evolution Conspiracy”, as reported in the book description on Amazon. The other “experts” cited include Michael Cremo.
• Rod Rogers, Ph.D. Agronomy, Iowa State U. Prof. Emeritus at Lubbock Christian U. No research record found. Apparently not a scientist.
• David Rogstad, Ph.D. Physics, California Institute of Technology. Currently “Research Scholar” at Reasons To Believe. No recent publications in peer-reviewed journals found.
• Charles T. Rombough, Ph.D. Engineering, University of Texas. President, CTR Technical Services Inc. No research in peer-reviewed journals found.
• Daniel Romo, Professor of Chemistry, Texas A&M University. Apparently a real scientist, but also a staunch creationist. One of Gail Lowe’s many creationist nominee’s for various panels on education when she was in charge of the Texas Board of Education. Has said that “not all data proposed within the evolution model are settled science;” his example of an open question was abiogenesis, which makes one wonder if he has even the faintest clue about what he is talking about.
• Paul Roschke, A.P. and Florence Wiley Professor, Dept. of Civil Engineering, Texas A&M U. Apparently a real scientist, unrelated field.
• Kay Roscoe, Ph.D. High Energy Particle Physics, University of Manchester. Now teacher of Science (“Biology specialism”) at Saddleworth School. No research found; does not appear to be a scientist.
• Douglas Nelson Rose, Research Physicist, United States Army. Has a few (generally not peer reviewed) documents on military equipment.
• Peter M. Rowell, D.Phil. Physics, University of Oxford. Google reveals no information on Rowell.

S

• Lennart Saari, Adjunct Professor, Wildlife Biology, University of Helsinki. Young Earth creationist who has compared scientists with the clergy of the Medieval Church and responsible for persecution of dissenters. Has some publications, but admits that they provide no support for his anti-evolution stance. Has said about Explore Evolution: “What a superb book! Clear, understandable, impartial, and intellectually honest.”
• David Sabatini, Professor Civil Engineering & Environmental Science, U. of Oklahoma. Respected researcher in his (unrelated) field.
• Jeffrey Sabburg, Ph.D. Physics, Queensland University of Technology. No affiliation or research found.
• Victoriano Saenz, Professor of Medicine, Autonomous University of Guadalajara. Appears to do research in unrelated fields.
• Eduardo Sahagun, Professor of Botany, Autonomous University of Guadalajara. Seems to have some genuine publications in a field that is not obviously entirely unrelated.
• Theodore Saito, Ph.D. Physics, Pennsylvania State University. Senior Engineer at Lawrence Livermore National Lab. Has been involved in research in an unrelated field, but little if any from the last 20 years found.
• Thomas Saleska, Professor of Biology, Concordia U., a famous religious institution. Not involved in research or science.
• Stanley Salthe, Emeritus Professor, Biological Sciences, Brooklyn College of the City University of New York. May have done real scientific research earlier in his career, but is currently primarily doing postmodernist, structuralist or deconstructivist critiques of science, since science is part of the myth of modernism. Said that when he endorsed a petition he had no idea what the Discovery Institute was, stating that “I signed it in irritation.” While no fan of evolutionary explanations - he appears to reject Darwinism partly as “a myth congenial to Capitalism." - he seems to have been pretty dismissive of intelligent design. Salthe claims to be an atheist, but he has nevertheless worked closely with well-known hardcore creationists such as Don Batten.
• 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 for his patents. His credentials are used for all they are worth by creationists as evidence for the scientific status of Intelligent Design, and Sanford testified for instance at the Kansas Evolution hearings. He also used his affiliation to give a sheen of legitimacy to the conference Biological Information: New Perspectives.
• Charles G. Sanny, Prof., Biochemistry, Oklahoma State U. Ctr. for Health Sciences. Seems to do real research in medical biochemistry.
• Fernando Saravi, Professor, Department of Morphology and Physiology, Med. Sciences School, Univ. Nacional de Cuyo. Has some publications attempting to link cell phone usage to health risks. Primarily known for his writings on “future eschatology”, the imminent end times and similar stuff, and has written books such as “Hope of Israel: The Jewish People and the Messiah,” and “The Invasion From the East: The Dangers of new Hindu philosophy and Mormonism Uncovered.”
• Phillip Savage, Professor of Chemical Engineering, University of Michigan. Real researcher in an unrelated field. Signed the petition not because he has any problems with evolution, but because he doesn’t think Darwinism explains abiogenesis, which it does, of course, not purport to do to begin with.
• Dale Schaefer, Professor, Materials Science & Engineering, University of Cincinnati. Publishes in an unrelated field.
• G. Bradley Schaefer, Professor of Pediatrics, U. of Nebraska Medical Center. Currently Director, Division of Genetics, College of Medicine at the U. of Arkansas for Medical Science. Seems to be a respected scientist in a field that is at best tangentially related to evolution.
• Henry Schaefer, Director, Center for Computational Quantum Chemistry, University of Georgia. Fellow of the Discovery Institute's Center for Science and Culture and Dembski's International Society for Complexity, Information, and Design. Describes himself as “sympathetic” to Intelligent Design but primarily a “proponent of Jesus.” Real scientist in an unrelated field. Doesn’t really understand evolution. The Discovery Institute has been caught attempting to inflate his credentials on several occasions.
• Norman Schmidt, Professor of Chemistry, Georgia Southern University. Currently at Tabor College (whose slogan is “Decidedly Christian”). Has some publications in unrelated fields. Appears to have advocated Intelligent Design in various venues.
• Eduard F. Schmitter, Ph.D. Astronomy, University of Wisconsin. Retired Professor at Pan-African University. No research found.
• Andrew Schmitz, Ph.D. Inorganic Chemistry, University of Iowa. No current affiliation or research found.
• Fred Schroeder, Ph.D. Marine Geology, Columbia University. No published record since 1993, when he was working for Exxon as a petroleum geologist.
• Gerald Schroeder, Ph.D. Earth Sciences & Nuclear Physics, MIT. Lecturer and teacher at College of Jewish Studies Aish HaTorah’s Discovery Seminar, Essentials and Fellowships programs and Executive Learning Center. Has spent the last 35 years investigating “the confluence of science and Torah,” constructing excruciatingly elaborate, tortured ad hoc explanations to get the apparent age of the universe fit with the literal (non-metaphorical) Biblical six-day account of creation. Debunked in detail by Mark Perakh here. May have been a real scientist at one point, but is currently (exclusively, it seems) involved in apologetics, having written several books with titles such as “The Science of God: The Convergence of Scientific and Biblical Wisdom.” Awarded the Trotter Prize by Texas A&M University's College of Science in 2012. Antony Flew credited Schroeder with changing his mind on atheism.
• W. Christopher Schroeder, Associate Professor of Mathematics, Morehead State U. Has a single 2003 publication. Hardly a scientist.
• Dean Schulz, Ph.D. Computer Science, Colorado State U. President, Conceptual Assets, Inc. Has some patents; no research found.
• Jeffrey Schwartz, Assoc. Res. Psychiatrist, Dept. of Psychiatry & Biobehavioral Sciences, University of California, Los Angeles. A proponent of mind/body dualism and Non-materialist neuroscience; appeared in Expelled, where he told Ben Stein that science should not be separated from religion. Schwartz, however, seems to accept common descent and evolution, though he claims – relying on Buddhism and theology – that humans are exempt, being able to transcend those origins for reasons that seem to lay closer to Deepak Chopra than Ray Comfort. Otherwise a respectable scientist (neuroplasticity).
• J. Benjamin Scripture, Ph.D. Biochemistry, University of Notre Dame. No current affiliation found, and only a few, older research papers. He is, however, on the record as a staunch creationist who is unable to distinguished fossilized brains from rocks.
• Christopher Scurlock, Ph.D. Chemistry, Arizona State University. Research Leader at Battelle. Routinely opines on climate change and evolution denial online at Vox Popoli and CSNbbs under the handle "DrTorch". No publications found.
• Ralph Seelke, Professor of Molecular and Cellular Biology, University of Wisconsin, Superior. On the board of the Biologic Institute and co-author of Explore Evolution. Testified during the Kansas Evolution Hearings. One of few Intelligent Design defenders who have published in relevant fields.
• Giuseppe Sermonti, Retired Professor of Genetics, University of Perugia; also Editor of Rivista di Biologia, a journal that has published several pro-creationist “articles” (by e.g. Jerry Bergman) under the pretense of scientific peer review. Sermonti is a prolific author (of e.g. “Why Is a Fly Not a Horse?”, a 2003 attempted critique of evolution), is considered one of Italy’s leading creationists, has been cited by Henry Morris, and testified during the Kansas Evolution Hearings. May have been a real scientist in his day, but is currently devoted to giving pseudoscience a sheen of legitimacy.
• Valdemar W. Setzer, Ph.D. Applied Mathematics, University of São Paulo. A follower of Rudolf Steiner’s anthroposophy Works primarily on computers, education and perceived effects of computer use (it’s dangerous for children), as well as concocting (unpublished) philosophical rants defending dualism. Most of his publications are online documents, but he may have some publications in low-tier, local (mostly in Spanish) peer-reviewed journals as well.
• Granville Sewell, Professor of Mathematics, University of Texas, El Paso. 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.” Sewell's main schtick is that evolution violates the Second Law of Thermodynamics, and the claim is just as poorly supported as one might expect. Mark Perakh has called Sewell's work “depressingly fallacious”. He is notoriously unable to see that even if evolution were to fail, it wouldn’t mean that Intelligent Design creationism is correct. Also writes for Uncommon Descent.
• Stephen Sewell, Assistant Professor of Family Medicine, Texas A&M University. MD; no research record found.
• Rowan Seymour, Ph.D. Computer Science, Queen’s University, Belfast. Currently hired by Partners in Health and the Ministry of Health in Rwanda to develop their medical record system. Has some online documents to his name, but does not seem to do scientific research.
• Gregory Shearer, Ph.D. Physiology, U. of California, Davis. Currently at Sanford Research. Has done research in an unrelated field.
• Robert B. Sheldon, Ph.D. Physics, University of Maryland, College Park. Currently at the National Space Science and Technology Center. Has some publications in unrelated fields. Also contributes to astrobiology research, and is for instance the author of “Comets, Information, and the Origin of Life”. Has worked with Nalin Chandra Wickramasinghe, one of the central defenders of continuous Exogenesis who himself testified for the creationists in McLean v. Arkansas Board of Education (though he is not a creationist). The connection may or may not be illuminating.
• Pingnan Shi, Ph.D. Electrical Engineering, University of British Columbia. Currently President at Overcome Depression Ministry. Has some online papers and conference transactions from earlier, but appears not to have done any research in the last 15 years.
• Evgeny Shirokov, Faculty Lecturer (Nuclear and Particle Physics), Moscow State University. Currently at Institute of Applied Physics, Russian Academy of Sciences, Nizhnii Novgorod. Seems to do research in unrelated fields.
• Mark Shlapobersky, Ph.D. Virology, Bar-Ilan University. Research Scientist at Vical Incorporated. Has done some research, though it is unclear how relevant it is to the question at hand.
• Haim Shore, Professor of Quality and Reliability Engineering, Ben-Gurion University of the Negev. A real researcher in an unrelated field. Also a hardcore crackpot who contributes to theology through (absolutely astonishingly ridiculous forms of) Gematria.
• David Shormann, Ph.D. Limnology, Texas A&M University. President of the “Dive into Math” program and active in the homeschooling movement by developing materials and arranging workshops. Not an active scientist, but instead a young earth creationist who claims 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, and was therefore appointed by Barbara Cargill to serve on science review panels that evaluate instructional materials for public schools submitted for approval by the Texas Board of Education in 2011.
• David K. Shortess, Professor of Biology (Retired), New Mexico Tech. Has a few (unrelated) research publications; the most recent appears to be from 1983.

• Khawar Sohail Siddiqui, Senior Research Associate (Protein Chemistry), University of New South Wales. Does have a research record, and his expertise is not entirely irrelevant to the question at hand. None of his publications challenge evolution, however, and his writings suggest that Siddiqui supports and assumes the theory of evolution in his work.
• Theodore J. Siek, Ph.D. Biochemistry, Oregon State University. Toxicologist. President of Analytic Bio-Chemistries Inc. Has some publications in unrelated fields. Author of “Questions for Evolutionists”, the most pressing of which is apparently abiogenesis, which has nothing to do with evolution and thereby reveals Siek’s lack of expertise in the field. Signatory to the Discovery Institute initiated Amicus Brief supporting Intelligent Design in the Kitzmiller v. Dover case.
• Arlen W. Siert, Ph.D. Environmental Health, Colorado State University. Industrial Hygienist at Xcel Energy. No research found.

• Arnold Sikkema, Associate Professor of Physics, Dordt College. Currently at Trinity Western University, a “faith-based institution”. Has some publications, though no recent ones. Involved with the Reformed Academic blog and persistent critic of Answers in Genesis, though he remains boldly silent on evolution (though seems willing to consider theistic evolution).
• Peter Silley, Ph.D. Microbial Biochemistry, University of Newcastle upon Tyne. Currently Managing Director of MB Consult Ltd. Has some research to his name, apparently largely concerned with safety measures and regulatory issues in biochemistry.
• John Silvius, Ph.D. Plant Physiology, West Virginia University. Senior Professor of Biology (emeritus) at Cedarville University,a fundamentalist Bible institution teaching young earth creationism. Silvius’s specialty is prairie research, though for the past 30 years his publications appear primarily in The American Biology Teacher. Central supporter for the Springboro schoolboard’s attempt to have creationism taught in public classrooms in 2011, an effort that ultimately turned out unsuccessful.
• Bruce Simat, Associate Prof. of Biology at Northwestern College, a small fundamentalist school where he has for years passed blatant creationist apologetics and Flood geology off as “biology”. Not a scientist. Testified at the Kansas Evolution Hearings.
• †Philip Skell, Emeritus professor of Chemistry, Pennsylvania State University and member of the National Academy of Sciences (which he used to emphasize); known shill for the Discovery Institute.
• Fred Skiff, Professor of Physics, University of Iowa. Scientist in an unrelated field. Very fond of the Worldview gambit (has claimed that “science is a worldview”) and strawman bashing. Known to equate evolution with atheism, for conflating evolution and abiogenesis, and for rejecting macroevolution as “overly reductionistic”.
• Donald F. Smee, Research Professor (Microbiology), Utah State University. Has a decent publication record in an unrelated field.
• E. Norbert Smith, Ph.D. Zoology, Texas Tech University. Affiliated with Creation.com and formerly on the board of directors for the Creation Research Society. Also signatory to the CMI list of scientists alive today who accept the biblical account of creation. Smith has taught a “graduate course” for the Institute for Creation Research as well as an online course in Creation for Liberty University. He appears to have written some real research papers back in the 70s and early 80s, but for the last 25 years he has primarily focused on articles for the Journal of Creation, children’s books (of course), and anti-science books such as “Evolution Has Failed” and “Battleground University”, where he laments the fact that universities teach critical thinking to students. Does not appear to have any academic affiliation, and is not a working scientist by any standards.
• Ken Smith, Professor of Mathematics, Central Michigan University. Does research in unrelated fields.
• Robert Smith, Professor of Chemistry, University of Nebraska, Omaha. Also on James Inhofe’s list of 650 scientists who supposedly dispute the global warming consensus.

• William F. Smith, Ph.D. in Molecular & Cellular Biology, McGill University. No information, research, or affiliation found.
• Wolfgang Smith, Emeritus Professor of Mathematics, Oregon State University. Respected enough in the field of mathematics, but also famous for his excursions into philosophy. Apparently his acceptance of Intelligent Design is the result of his philosophical contemplations, which led him to a thomistic and appropriately medieval ontology. Science be damned if it fails to adhere to his a priori metaphysics and elaborate sophistry.
• David Snoke, Associate Professor of Physics & Astronomy, University of Pittsburgh. Co-authored a paper with Michael 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, and contrary to Behe’s claims (e.g. during the Kitzmiller v. Dover trial) might even undermine the notion of irreducible complexity, as Behe had to admit under oath. Otherwise a respectable scientist in his (unrelated) field.

• Richard Thompson, Ph.D. Computer Science, U. of Connecticut. Now Professor at U. of Pittsburgh. Real scientist, unrelated field.
• Frank Tipler, Prof. of Mathematical Physics, Tulane University, Fellow of the International Society for Complexity, Information, and Design. Has written quite a bit of crackpot literature - including “The Physics of Christianity” - which quite overshadows his earlier technical research. Inventor of the Omega Point, a ghastly pseudo-scientific mix of cosmology and theology that supposedly proves God’s existence and the immortality of intelligence, or something. His book on the matter, "The Physics of Immortality", was described by George Ellis as "a masterpiece of pseudoscience… the product of a fertile and creative imagination unhampered by the normal constraints of scientific and philosophical discipline". Michael Shermer devoted a chapter of his book "Why People Believe Weird Things" to Tipler’s theory. Tipler also writes for Uncommon Descent.
• Mark Toleman, Ph.D. Molecular Microbiology, Bristol University. Seems to have done real research. Admits to not being an expert on evolution, but is skeptical because he dislikes Darwin’s relatives(!) and because of Jesus.

Does not accept Intelligent Design, though he accepts the bogus creationist distinction between micro- and macro-evolution. Describes himself as a Messianic Jew.
• Ide Trotter, Ph.D. Chemical Engineering, Princeton University. Member of Texans for Better Science Education who has testified before the Texas Board of Education on several occasions during their bizarre discussions over science standards for public schools. Trotter claims that the major scientific discoveries of the 20th century make evolution harder and harder to defend. As a consequence he was appointed by the Board to the science review panels that evaluate instructional materials submitted for approval by the Board. Trotter runs an investment management company and is former dean of business/professor of finance at Dallas Baptist U; not a scientist.
• Royal Truman, Ph.D. Organic Chemistry, Michigan State University. Currently employed at BASF AG’s headquarters in Ludwigshafen, Germany.

Young earth creationist, and author of a screed called “Darwin and the lie of evolution” in which he claims that the promotion of the theory of evolution is part of an anti-Christian campaign, and that if we doubt the scientific truth of a literal interpretation of Genesis, then “many other stories in the Bible may be questioned or made out to be unscientific or implausible.” How this makes his dissent from Darwinism “scientific” is unclear.
• Charles N. Verheyden, Prof. of Surgery, Texas A&M College of Medicine. Plastic surgeon; has publications in that (unrelated) field.
• Etienne Y. Vernaz, Professor & Director of Research Director, CEA (French Atomic Energy Agency). A real scientist, in an unrelated field, who claims that in his entire career he has never come across any contradiction between Scripture and the world as revealed by science.

• Carston Wagner, Associate Professor of Medicinal Chemistry, University of Minnesota. Currently professor and endowed chair. Seems to be a respectable scientist in an unrelated field.
• John Walkup, Emeritus Professor of Electrical & Computer Engineering, Texas Tech University. Currently on the staff of Christian Leadership Ministries. Has said that a legitimate debate on origins must have at least two hypotheses: “Then, like in a court of law, you can go back and look at the evidences – which of these two hypotheses appear more reasonable,” which is rather far removed from how science actually works (but close to how Phillip Johnson thinks it works). No research record found.
• Linda Walkup, Ph.D. Molecular Genetics, University of New Mexico Medical School. Homeschooler. No academic affiliation or research located.

Has an otherwise impressive publication record and research background, and has been substantially involved in criticizing creationist geophysics, in particular by supplying thorough defenses of radiometric dating
• Jay L. Wile, Ph.D. Nuclear Chemistry, University of Rochester. Famous proponent of creation geophysics. His CV states that he was an assistant professor from 1990 to 1995, but he has no current academic affiliation. Works instead with Apologia Educational Ministries (which he founded), a publisher of creationist home-schooling material such as his own “Exploring Creation” series of textbooks, which attempts to reconcile young earth creationism with scientific principles. Many of the inaccuracies and inadequacies of Conservapedia’s information about science and scientific theory have been traced back to Wile.
• 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.”
• Christopher Williams, Ph.D. Biochemistry, Ohio State University. Maintains 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,” although the question of abiogenesis does, of course, not have anything to do with the theory of evolution. No current academic affiliation found.
• Sarah M. Williams, Ph.D Environmental Engineering, Stanford University. Google returns no current academic affiliation or research.
• Gordon L. Wilson, Ph.D. Environmental Science and Public Policy, George Mason University. Apparently that sounds better than "Senior Fellow of Natural History and Director of Student Affairs at the New Saint Andrews College (formerly in the biology department at Liberty University)," an unaccredited conservative Calvinist institution that teaches a “Biblical worldview” to something in the vicinity of 130 four-year students. Active in the Creation Biology Society and frequent contributor to the Answers magazine. His specialty seems to be the Origins of Natural Evil in the biological world. 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.

Also signatory to the CMI list of scientists alive today who accept the biblical account of creation. According to his bio at Answers in Genesis his "current interest involves the study of the time domain and how quantum theory and/or multidimensional string theories may be used to explain the Genesis account". Claims that scientists fail to recognize the truth of creationism because they are arrogant and won't recognize any god but themselves.
• Douglas C. Youvan, Former Associate Professor of Chemistry, MIT, founder of Karios Scientific Inc.
