Evolution FTW!

Recently this image made the front page of digg titled, "What's wrong with our science education."

With over 3000 diggs, it is one of the week's top stories. The submitter: "d2002" intended the release to coincide with Darwin's birthday, February 12th.  I get that the above photo speaks more to Darwin's contemporary legacy than to how the internet feels about his greatest theory, to me (a product of the US public school's science education) this submission is a bit misleading.

By presenting the above photo as evidence of problems with the education system, it makes it seem like the internet is full of evolution deniers.  While there are plenty of Google results that come down on both sides of the issue, by simply using the seach term, "Evolution is" you get a much better idea of how the issue breaks down:

 

Obviously, when it comes to evolution, the internet speaks resoundingly in favor...

Where have YOU been?

Just a quick update.  As some of you know, and many may not, I've been burried in a new project for the past few months.  While I've missed posting daily, I could no longer afford not to give my work 100% of my attention and effort.  This is no excuse, especially for leaving off without much of an explination, for that I'm sorry.

I hope anyone who enjoyed the content I've posted here in the past will continue to check back.  I plan on continuing to post when I can, and I will be able to share more details of this all consuming project very soon.  Thanks, and stay tuned!

WTF Wednesday: FAIL

Happy Thanksgiving
