Google Search Trends Show Danes, Australians, Canada Interested in Intelligent Design

Google Search ID Trend History ^ | 06/16/2006

[SirLinksalot]

Just out of curiosity, I did a little research about Google trends to see which countries other than the USA are interested in the issue of Intelligent Design vs. Evolution.

SEE THE RESULT HERE :

http://www.google.com/trends?q=Intelligent+Design&ctab=0&geo=all&date=all

Now, Click on the “regions” tab.

What is interesting is... it shows that our good ally in the War on Terror, Australia has about half the searches for Intelligent Design that we do.

But please note that Australia’s population is about 20 million. The USA on the other hand has about 280 million people.

This shows that Australia's INTEREST for ID is about 6 times more per person than the USA.

And note Denmark has only 5 million people. This means that the Danes are 20 times more interested in ID than Americans.

Interest on ID is more and more growing in Europe even in presence of a growing secularist tide.

The top 10 countries where ID is being searched for are :

USA AUSTRALIA DENMARK CANADA NETHERLANDS SWEDEN UK INDIA BELGIUM GERMANY

In the USA, the top 10 cities that are interested in ID are :

1. PHILADELPHIA

2. Washington, DC USA

3. St Louis, MO USA

4. Seattle, WA USA

5. Portland, OR USA

6. Denver, CO USA

7. Austin, TX USA

8. Minneapolis, MN USA

9. San Francisco, CA USA

10. Chicago, IL USA

It might be thread-stalking if we pinged him over there for unfinished business here.

You know, I'm starting to have my doubts about the boy's innocence.

I think publishing an article on FR plagiarized from a nationally known source kind of trumps the ban on thread stalking.

[VadeRetro]

Did ping him a couple days ago. It's just taking him a long time to get here.

Meanwhile, Dembski's blog continues not to acknowledge the double-normalization problem.

Also, Keith Miller has exposed more duplicity in Dembski's blog materials, a serious misquote of a question and answer which occurred at a Miller public appearance.

[VadeRetro]

Ken Miller, not Keith Miller.

I wish I could remember to allow for how bad my memory is.

[VadeRetro]

To follow up, here's Dembski's jaw-dropping response.

http://www.uncommondescent.com/index.php/archives/1297#more-1297

He says the paraphrase is "not unfair. The verbage was different but the points were essentially the same." Miller's response is "weak."

Skimming the comments on the blog thread, I see that they simply ignore the whole issue of the in-your-face dishonesty.

[VadeRetro]

Miller's response is "weak."

The word was "lame." There I go again!

[VadeRetro]

Note the title of Dembski's blog entry:

Ken Miller the Closet ID Supporter Backpedals and Dissembles

... by posting audio files of the actual exchange.

And whether Ken Miller wants to admit it or not a unverse that was designed so that the evolution of life was inevitable fits just fine into the big ID tent. Miller’s claim that ID supporters all think that constant meddling by a creator is required to make evolution happen is just a big, bold lie made up so that Ken can exclude himself from the tent. Shame on you Ken. Even though you lie about us we welcome you to the tent anyhow.

Bill Dembski’s blogczar for one (me) doesn’t think the creator meddled. Obviously Bill Dembski, the go-to guy for all things ID, must respect my viewpoint if he saw fit to let me moderate his weblog and use it for a soapbox for my front-loaded corner of the big tent. I happen to think the best explanation is that the life that appeared on the earth billions of years ago was placed here by an intelligent agency (whose character is unknown to me) and that first life was preprogrammed to evolve and diversify along a more or less set path from single undifferentiated cell to everything today, much as a hen’s egg is preprogrammed to evolve and diversify from a single cell into a chicken. No meddling required. So there. Now be a man and take back your lie about what all ID proponents believe about constant meddling.

It's homunculi all the way down.

[VadeRetro]

That Miller actually does practice a form of ID has not been much in doubt. It's the flavor known as "Catholicism."

Fine tuning is such a big tent that almost anything will fit. Of course that is Michael Denton's position, and it means accepting all of mainstream biology.

The notion that the details of morphology are somehow embedded in the initial algorithm is rather stupid. It's like saying that the laws of physics were designed to eventually produce Hillary's pink dress.

Behe endorsed the concept at one time. Not sure if he still does. He's making a cottage industry out of being vague.

Vagueness is self-organizing when rewarded by money.

Say, I heard there was some plagarism going on.

Do you have any details?

Nothing remarkable, really. Just everyday creationism.
