Over 80,000 scientists wrong about evolution?

Project Steve is a list of scientists just named Steve who believe:

Evolution is a vital, well-supported, unifying principle of the biological sciences, and the scientific evidence is overwhelmingly in favor of the idea that all living things share a common ancestry. Although there are legitimate debates about the patterns and processes of evolution, there is no serious scientific doubt that evolution occurred or that natural selection is a major mechanism in its occurrence. It is scientifically inappropriate and pedagogically irresponsible for creationist pseudoscience, including but not limited to "intelligent design," to be introduced into the science curricula of our nation's public schools.

There were 822 Steve's on the list as of August 14, 2007. About 1% of the population is named Steve. So the 822 scientists on the list represent about 82,200 scientists. There are most likely many more Steve's who could be added to the list.

Do all the creationists really think all those scientists are just wrong? Is anyone willing to admit that they think they know more about biology than biologists?
