LiveScience Discussing the Controversy that Doesn't Exist
LiveScience is one of the premier science news sites on the internet. Thus, I found it funny that its “Evolution” page is largely devoted to discussing (their perception of) intelligent design. The title of the page is “All About Evolution and Intelligent Design.” Since it is "All" about evolution and ID, let's see how the articles break down.
With a quick glance of their "Featured Evolution Stories," here’s the tally: 43 pro-evolution articles, 9 anti-intelligent design articles, 0 pro-ID articles, 0 anti-evolution articles, 2 neutral articles, and 1 that horribly misconstrues ID. Hmmm.... Reminds one of Linda Richman from Saturday Night Live's "Coffee Talk" sketch: Just as Rhode Island is neither a road nor an island, "All About Evolution and Intelligent Design" is neither all about evolution, nor is is it all about intelligent design. I'm a little verklempt. Talk amongst yourselves.
