Thought: From colleges to zoos and everywhere in between,
it seems like scientists are pushing the theory of evolution. Are
there any scientists who don't believe in evolution?
Dr.
Steven Holladay: Sometimes it seems like everyone
who works in scientific fields supports the theory of evolution. But
they don't. In fact, 100 top scientists recently published "A Scientific
Dissent on Darwinism," publicly stating their skepticism about the
theory of evolution and encouraging its careful examination. [See details

VT: Are these scientists considered reputable?
SH: Yes, if you consider biologists, physicists, chemists, mathematicians and anthropologists from internationally recognized research institutions such as Yale, Princeton, MIT and even the University of California at Berkeley to be reputable. Lists like this make it clear that there are well-educated, rational thinkers who have serious reservations about evolution.
VT: Why do they question the theory?
SH: Ironically, it's advancements in science, like the study of DNA, that have caused scientists to question the theory that life was created by random forces. In fact, Dr. Antony Flew, a famous atheist and professor, recently reversed his long-held belief in evolution based on increased understanding of DNA as an information-carrying molecule. He now argues that an intelligent source had to be involved in the production of DNA. [See "DNA evidence prompts famous professor to renounce atheism"]
