This is a billboard that the Freedom from Religion Foundation is planning to put up in several American cities.
I'm totally opposed to this billboard for the same reason I objected to the New Scientist cover saying "Darwin Was Wrong."
Charles Darwin published his famous book in 1859. That's 150 years ago. Since then we have moved far beyond anything Darwin could have imagined while strolling on the Sandwalk. Modern scientists do not worship Darwin and they haven't been wedded to his ideas for over a century.
The editors of New Scientist don't get this, and neither does the Freedom from Religion Foundation.
John Pieret allerted me to this billboard [Praise Hymn]. His take is slightly different. He's more concerned with how the creationists will take advantage of these errors. I'm more worried about how the errors contribute to misunderstanding among sensible people.
