The Vanishing Case for Evolution
Questioning evolution is neither science denial nor the preserve of creationists
Unfortunately this link-spam isn't really helping you here.
For example, several links are in relation to the DI's so-called "Dissent From Darwinism". But if you examine the actual statement, it's not even a statement against the modern theory of evolution. It's akin to asking scientists to sign a statement claiming that Newtonian physics is inadequate to explain all the workings of the universe. Well, duh. It's not exactly a controversial idea.
(It's also worth nothing that there is controversy around the signatories themselves including a number of people that didn't know what they were signing.)
And of course young-Earth creationist orgs are going to claim that evolution is doomed. They've been claiming that for over 50 years. Really all this proves is that if you have a large enough body of scientists, you can find at least a handful that are on the fringe.
There are scientists out there that deny the existence HIV, believe 9/11 conspiracy theories, anti-vaxx, among other things. Pointing to the fringe doesn't do much other than acknowledge the existence of said fringe.
Meanwhile, when you look at the reality of the state of current science, The Theory of Evolution remains a foundational component of modern biology, continues to be taught as such, and sees real-world application in areas of applied biology. And you'll find far more scientists that attest to that fact than who dispute it.
