Project Steve
20.01.2014 um 16:36Aus vielen Diskussionen kennt man das Argument, So viele Wissenschaftler zweifeln an der Evolutionstheorie, so viele Piloten oder Architekten an der offiziellen Theorie zum Thema 9/11. Gegen diese dummer Argumentation, (1000000 Fliegen können nicht irren) gibt es ein kleines lustiges Projekt, von dem ich erst in den letzten Tagen gehört habe

Creationists draw up these lists to try to convince the public that evolution is somehow being rejected by scientists, that it is a "theory in crisis." Not everyone realizes that this claim is unfounded. NCSE has been asked numerous times to compile a list of thousands of scientists affirming the validity of the theory of evolution. Although we easily could have done so, we have resisted. We did not wish to mislead the public into thinking that scientific issues are decided by who has the longer list of scientists!Also, das nächste mal wenn euch ein Kreationist eine Liste vorhält, fragt ihn einfach wieviele Steves auf der Liste stehen ;)
Project Steve pokes fun at this practice and, because "Steves" are only about 1% of scientists, it also makes the point that tens of thousands of scientists support evolution. And it honors the late Stephen Jay Gould, evolutionary biologist, NCSE supporter, and friend.
We'd like to think that after Project Steve, we'll have seen the last of bogus "scientists doubting evolution" lists, but it's probably too much to ask. We hope that when such lists are proposed, reporters and other citizens will ask, "How many Steves are on your list!?"
