Project Steve <=SEP=> Project Steve is a list of scientists with the given name Stephen/Steven or a variation thereof ( e.g. , Stephanie , Stefan , Esteban , etc. ) who `` support evolution '' . It was originally created by the National Center for Science Education as a `` tongue-in-cheek parody '' of creationist attempts to collect a list of scientists who `` doubt evolution , '' such as the Answers in Genesis ' list of scientists who accept the biblical account of the Genesis creation narrative or the Discovery Institute 's A Scientific Dissent From Darwinism . The list pokes fun at such endeavors to make it clear that , `` We did not wish to mislead the public into thinking that scientific issues are decided by who has the longer list of scientists ! '' It also honors Stephen Jay Gould .   However , at the same time the project is a genuine collection of scientists . Despite the list 's restriction to only scientists with names like `` Steve '' , which in the United States limits the list to roughly 1 percent of the total population , Project Steve is longer and contains many more eminent scientists than any creationist list . In particular , Project Steve contains many more biologists than the creationist lists , with about 51 % of the listed Steves being biologists .   The `` List of Steves '' webpage provides an updated total of scientist `` Steves '' who have signed the list . , Project Steve has 1,416 signatories .

A Scientific Dissent from Darwinism <=SEP=> A Scientific Dissent from Darwinism (or "Dissent from Darwinism") was a statement issued in 2001 by the Discovery Institute, a conservative think tank based in Seattle, Washington, U.S., best known for its promotion of the pseudoscientific principle of intelligent design. As part of the Discovery Institute"s Teach the Controversy campaign, the statement expresses skepticism about the ability of random mutations and natural selection to account for the complexity of life, and encourages careful examination of the evidence for "Darwinism", a term intelligent design proponents use to refer to evolution.The statement was published in advertisements under an introduction which stated that its signatories dispute the assertion that Darwin's theory of evolution fully explains the complexity of living things, and dispute that "all known scientific evidence supports [Darwinian] evolution". The Discovery Institute states that the list was first started to refute claims made by promoters of the PBS television series "Evolution" that "virtually every scientist in the world believes the theory to be true". Further names of signatories have been added at intervals. The list continues to be used in Discovery Institute intelligent design campaigns in an attempt to discredit evolution and bolster claims that intelligent design is scientifically valid by claiming that evolution lacks broad scientific support.The statement is misleading and ambiguous, using terms with multiple meanings such as "Darwinism", which can refer specifically to natural selection or informally to evolution in general, and presenting a straw man fallacy with its claim that random mutations and natural selection are insufficient to account for the complexity of life, when standard evolution theory involves other factors such as gene flow, genetic recombination, genetic drift and endosymbiosis. Scientists and educators have noted that its signatories, who include historians and philosophers of science as well as scientists, were a minuscule fraction of the numbers of scientists and engineers qualified to sign it. Intelligent design has failed to produce scientific research, and been rejected by the scientific community, including many leading scientific organizations. The statement in the document has also been criticized as being phrased to represent a diverse range of opinions, set in a context which gives it a misleading spin to confuse the public. The listed affiliations and areas of expertise of the signatories have also been criticized.
