Do scientists reject evolution?
If evolution were a fact, proven beyond doubt,or even a convincing theory, we could not possibly expect to see thousands of reputable scientists rejecting it outright.
Relative to the totality of scientists, very few actually reject evolution.
Sure, some do. If his religion is opposed to evolution, it is relatively easy for a physicist or a computer scientist (to name just two) to reject evolution. For his own science does not depend on it, and he has had no real need to study evolution. Among geologists and biologists, where every day scientific work is related to evolution and its evidence, you will find very few who reject evolution.
Molecular biologist and medical doctor Michael Denton - "Ultimately the Darwinian theory of evolution is no more nor less than the great cosmogenic myth of the twentieth century." Michael Denton, Evolution: A Theory in Crisis
(Bethesda, Md: Adler & Adler Publishers, Inc. 1986), p.358.
A quote from a review of a more recent Denton book: "From the impossibility of evolution to the inevitability of evolution: Anti-Evolutionst Michael Denton turns into an 'Evolutionist'.

Let's end the political smears
