This one even has a song to go with it:

As many fossils as would be expected to be found have been found. The odds that a body will coincidentally be naturally preserved are incredibly small. An animal has to die in a place like the sediments built up on the perimeter of a lake in order to be fossilized.

Not one of those scientists are evolutionary biologists.

Also, I point you to the National Center for Science Education's Project Steve. Project Steve is a satirical list of over 900 guys named "Steve" who accept the fact of evolution. It is intended to make the above lists compiled by creationists look silly, because real science is not done by lining up a bunch of scientists and getting them to sign a petition, it is done with evidence published and reviewed by scientific peers.
