The conspiracy of ignorance masquerades as common sense.

End of the world.

Why are you plagiarizing Dumbski's bad math?

[blowfish]

Of course, it could also mean that people around the world are curious about the ongoing dumbification of the US citizenry - much like watching a slow train wreck.

I found a very strange coincidence. Yesterday evening, Doctor William Dembski on his Uncommon Descent posted the exact same thing you did.

And you know what is even stranger? You both did the same thing and you both made the same mistake. The Google search is already normalized. It is not correct to divide by the population again. So, people in other countries seem to be less interested in Intelligent Design than we in America are.

It's a shame he made that mistake, because he has a mathmatics Ph.D., and now people think he doesn't know any mathmatics. Also,the evolutionists are making fun of him. Anyone, even a brilliant mind like Doctor Dembski, can make a mistake.

But why didn't you give Doctor Dembski credit even though his math is all wrong?

Plagarism AND statistical ignorance all in one tidy package.

How convenient.

I'm actually surprised the interest isn't higher in Australia considering they have some of the more outspoken creationists there. But I guess they're more YEC and less ID, which, when it isn't being a YEC front, is more TE inclined.

The site linked exhibits some truly amusing errors of mathematics. Whoever wrote the original must have the benefit of a public school education. The author seems not to understand the term "normalization." It's a common failing among journalists.

Wow! It's really encouraging to know that there are people in other countries who are as willfully ignorant as some folks in Philly, DC, and San Fran... I just hope those people across the pond aren't as faulty in their math as you are!

[Old Professer]

I'd settle for half-way smart, myself.

Never trust the Communist Google.

Look who isn't interested - our major economic competitors - the ones who are not weakening their science for religious reasons.
