Having been mocked for claiming global warming is being rejected by a standard which would also make gravity a theory in crisis, DaveScot is going back to the same well, claiming that ID is winning the battle because it has more people searching for it than made up terms like "theological evolution."

Red: Evolution
Blue: Intelligent design
Orange: Creationism
Note that search volume for Creationism has exceeded that for Intelligent Design over the last few months.

Can you give a reference for this figure ? Or at least a larger version ? I would like to show this to a few people.
Nevermind - duh. That is what happens when you try to read a coherent blog too soon after teaching a freshmen level class. Next thing you know I will be asking you how many questions are on the test.
Relative percentages of supporting data in peer-reviewed scientific research papers:
Evolution: 100%

There is a test!?!? How come nobody tells me these things? Man I am so screwed.
And, just so I know what to expect, how many questions will be on this test?
