5 good links and 1 link to a total crap page. How's that for balanced treatment?

Bill Nye "the Science Guy" kicks ass. I used to watch his show all the time when it was on PBS.

>Bill Nye "the Science Guy"

He's also in a little-known but hillarious video short called "Microsoft Nerds." (I think it was produced by some TV station in the northwest.) It's a fake "dating" gameshow where the male contestants are all nerdy engineers from Microsoft. Microsoft used to distribute it as part of their Media SDK as a test video. If you know anyone who was an MSDN subscriber in the early 90's, they've probably got it on CD somewhere.

IMO, even one creation "science" link among many valid links may serve to promote the idea that what they practice is science.

And forgive me for asking, but I miss the Bill Nye reference...

I agree. They shouldn't give them so much credit.

That wacky Bill Nye

Why is that fucking Creation Science website in with the others? It lends it way too much credibility.
