Are there any legitimate scientists who support evolution?

LOL....funniest question of the day. Love to see what these evolution idiots say.

Creationists in the United States claim that because there is a significant lack of public support for evolution, that public schools should "teach the controversy". Nearly every scientific society, representing hundreds of thousands of scientists, has issued official statements disputing this claim and a petition supporting the teaching of evolution was endorsed by 72 US Nobel Prize winners.

The vast majority of the scientific community and academia supports evolutionary theory as the only explanation that can fully explain observations in the fields of biology, paleontology, anthropology, and others. One 1987 estimate found that more than 99.84% of almost 500,000 US scientists in the earth and life sciences supported evolution over creation science. An expert in the evolution-creationism controversy, professor and author Brian Alters, states that "99.9 percent of scientists accept evolution".

The above statements were taken from Wikipedia at

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Level_of_support_for_...

The citations and references supporting these statements can be found on that Wiki-page. There is a lot more info there too.

As for my personal experience, I have Bachelors degrees in Biology and Physics. I have been in the classes of many professors who had impeccable scientific credentials. Absolutely NONE of them doubted the basic premises of the theory of evolution.

Is this a serious question?

Evolution is scientific theory just like anything else for all the uses of the term thrown around of "scientific fact" in the science community a theory IS a fact such as gravity. So while naturally you're allowed to be skeptical and believe what you like, I'm not sure you'll find any real scientists that don't believe in evolution.

Then I guess there are no legitimate scientists who have the ENTIRE support of the scientific community who believe in Creationism. I've yet to meet any scientists who did, at least ones that don't have their credentials from religion colleges.

here's a few of the most prominent evolutionary biologists culled from wikipedia. they didn't recieve their Ph.D.s by mail from the university of the P.O. box. like most creation 'scientists'. look 'em up and check them out.

Last I checked all scientist are respectable in the scientific community until determined otherwise. The people that you need to check with their references on the someones donning lab coats talking about creationists myth.

Did you mean to say "scientists who believe in creation"?

It is clear, and proven, that all species have evolved at some point during earth's history, including us.

Some species of insects, and crocodiles, for example, achieved near perfection, and have remained largely unchanged for millions of years.

For the rest of us, evolution continues...

Yes, all of them. There are some non-legitimate scientists who don't support evolution, but they either have an agenda or are controlled.

Like member of the NAS or The Royal Society? 90+%

In fact there are only one or two biologists that do not.

You must be joking! There is hardly one RESPECTED scientist that doesn't support the TOH. Including several Nobel Prize winners.

yeah, there's tons. And many of those scientists who support the theory of evolution also believe in God.
