We have all seen the Discovery Institutes list of scientists rejecting evolution. I analyzed the list, and emailed its signees. The truth of the matter is, DI lied repeatedly when constructing the list, and, by their own admission, even IF the numbers are skewed hugely in favor or the creationists, this still leaves .0027% of scientists in the US rejecting evolution.
Updates will be added periodically as I hear from these scientists.
Update #1) - Heard about Marko Horb. This is an email I just received from the head of the dept. where he was listed as working:
"Dear Whitney
I have been away on leave so have only just found your email.
I'm afraid I've never heard of Marko Horb. How is he connected to the University?
Best wishes

#2) Dr David A. DeWitt received a B.S. in biochemistry from Michigan State University and a Ph.D. in neuroscience from Case Western Reserve University. I was mistaken when I said "I think undergrad".
#3) The figure I gave in the video is not intended to be used as a concrete % of scientists who reject evolution. Although it is close, I will specifically address this in my next video. That calculation was added moreso for amusement.
