A new Gallup poll shows that more than half of Americans reject evolution
. 31% believe that man evolved and God guided it, and only 12% believe that evolution just happened without anyone at the wheel.
A big shout out to the 12%.
In fact, I think that needs to be a t-shirt. A big “12%,” maybe with a subtitle about being proud of evolution. Would anyone else wear that?
And they might like this new t-shirt, courtesy of the festering brain-giblets of Warren Ellis.
EDIT: NOT available to buy at this time, which it says in Ellis’ post, so don’t give me any crap.
Thanks to everyone who’s purchased an “I Want To Believe” t-shirt. This is the first time that I’ve sold a t-shirt to anyone outside of my immediate family, and I’m irrationally pleased about it.
I’m going to tack a dollar onto the Cafepress.com price for these shirts, and donate the dollars to the fund to help skeptic Robert Lancaster and his familly. Mr. Lancaster recently suffered a stroke, and mounting medical bills will only make his recovery tougher. So buy a shirt, or donate directly at SkepticsUnite.com. Either way, you’ll be helping out a true skeptical hero.
EDIT: After a couple of requests, I’ve created a dark version of the shirt graphic, and made it available on a selection of white and light-colored shirts. If you’re not the black t-shirt type, it’s your lucky day.
My final year of law school starts today. As a preemptive battery charging measure, I went on a self-imposed Internet hiatus this weekend. I played some video games, watched some TV, took my wife to Delaware to meet our brand new niece. I purposely ignored my feed reader and (mostly) my email.
While I was gone, the Internet blew up in my face. I can’t leave that thing unattended. (It’s like the boiler in The Shining, only instead of highly pressurized steam, it explodes in rainbow-scented unicorn farts.)
Phil Plait – scientist, skeptic and geek-in-charge at the Bad Astronomy blog – got wind of my Dalek comic, and posted about it on Saturday afternoon. He even used the word “want” in the title, in that peculiar, it-might-be-a-noun kind of way that you usually only see on blogs that fetishize the latest Apple iProduct.
In 24 hours, we got more hits than we’ve racked up in any previous month. Some wonderful people even plunked down their money for the t-shirt, so I’ll actually be able to donate something to the Robert Lancaster medical fund.
So, thanks to everyone who’s wandered through at Phil’s urging. I hope it was worth the click. Extra special thanks to everyone who bought a t-shirt. If you’d care to take a picture of yourself in it, email it to oskar[at symbol]suburbanpanic[dot]com, and I will post it. We can share my fleeting Internet fame.
