She blinded me with design

10 o'clock, August 10, 2005

So I’m not saying I support Google bombing, but I’m also not saying it would be a bad thing if this statement on Intelligent Design had a higher PageRank than, say, the Intelligent Design Network.

CHARLES DARWIN HAS A POSSE. 5 ft. 11in., 163lb.
Fig. 1. Charles Darwin has a Posse.
More portable than The Structure of Evolutionary Theory,
yet less confrontational than a Darwin fish.

This is probably also a good time to point out Project Steve to anyone who hasn’t heard about it yet:

The list of Steves is far more prestigious then any list of living scientists the creationists have ever produced. It includes Nobel Prize winners, members of the National Academy of Sciences, and influential authors such as Stephen Hawking. It is telling that creationist lists tend to be lean on practicing research biologists. In contrast, about two-thirds of the scientists on NCSE’s list are biologists, who are the most qualified to evaluate whether the evidence favors evolution. Another point is that the NCSE’s list includes the information on where the Steves got their degrees and their current position. By not doing so, the creationist lists do not make it obvious how many of the people listed are not practicing scientists.

Comments

One way to achieve that, believe it or not, is to get a story about it posted at kuro5hin.

If you don't believe me, google for either 'mary poppins' or 'natalee holloway'.
