A few would, I'm sure. So?
They'd be proven wrong when presented with the mountains of evidence supporting evolution.

Any ideas on why some people lend so much meaning to the Theory of Evolution?

No theory is "proven" as such. That does not mean that you get a free pass to deny reality.
By a particularly materialistic understanding of creation, I suppose that is true.
You are lying.
Your first statement implies only a few disagree with evolution theory. I believe many do. Your second statement is simply an assertion.
Anyone who wants the facts can do a search on; "scientists who reject evolution".
assume definition= *** u me makes and $$$ out of U and ME.
Opinions are like ###holes. Everyone has one and some show theirs often.

NO intelligent people, including biologists and other scientists, disagree with that statement: "It's a well evidenced scientific theory." The most any intelligent person might say is that while there's a lot of evidence, it's unconvincing. Now, there are certainly some biased biologists and other scientists who disagree with that statement, but none of them qualify as intelligent.
Ah the old numbers game again *sigh* Just to remind you again of Project Steve, which goes much further than any of the lists you suggest we look at, and actually provides the names, fields of study, and education/work affiliations, for all 1,389 scientists named Steve (considered to be only 1% of all scientists) who have signed a statement.in support of evolution. About 2/3 are biologists. And Just so you're aware, this 1%, translates into 138,900 scientists who believe in evolution. 138,900 compared to your what, 514? The number bragged about HERE And while the percentage of biologists supporting evolution amounts to 66% of all the scientists signing on, those biologists who have DOUBTS about (not reject) evolution only comprise 30% of the 514.
Of course, if you have links to a better list, please share. Otherwise we'll go with THIS one. (The second listed site on your suggested search for "scientists who reject evolution")

Just one of many, many, sites quoting scientists who reject Darwinian evolution.
I don't quite see how that logic follows. Rejecting biological evolution doesn't make someone unintelligent. Shallow ad hominems don't make one unintelligent either.

Of course not, but I said biased biologists and other scientists. From what I've seen almost all those rejecting evolution are Christians. Christians who hold so dearly to a literal reading of their Bible they won't let themselves consider anything that may stand in opposition to it. They are biased to the point of

So during apartheid when they taught that blacks were inferior and not fit for survival,
this (according to you) had no moral consequence?

But no one's talking about Darwinian evolution. We're talking about modern evolutionary synthesis,

Gotcha!
Abstract
The ‘modern evolutionary synthesis’ convinced most biologists that natural selection was the only directive influence on adaptive evolution. Today, however, dissatisfaction with the synthesis is widespread, and creationists and antidarwinians are multiplying. The central problem with the synthesis is its failure to show (or to provide distinct signs) that natural selection of random mutations could account for observed levels of adaptation.

There are mountains of evidence that support evolution from multiple fields of science. That is a fact.
It is also a fact that the vast majority of scientists and scientific bodies accept evolution.
You can believe that "many" don't accept it all day long if you want. Beliefs aren't facts though.

Would you agree that the vast majority accept the theory of evolution as a well-evidenced and supported scientific theory?

Where did you get that from? Can you provide a citation?Oh darn!
