Contest to fight creationism

[HappyJihad]

Folks, I am sponsoring a contest to see who can be the first person to publish a crank article in the new "peer-reviewed journal" at Answers in Genesis. If you are at all interested in entering, or would like to provide a prize for the eventual winner (I won't handle it, only put prize-givers in contact with the winner), please visit Happy Jihad's House of Pancakes, and clink on the contest link at left.

This contest has been carried by pharyngula and will appear in the upcoming Skeptics' Circle, which you may have heard of. Anyway, I wanted to give the skeptics at Randi's site a crack at this one. I hope that the Spirit moves you to participate (heheh).

...and it seems our resident Bad Astronomer is thinking of tossing in his two cents:

Hey Phil, since Happy Jihad is asking for donations for prize support, what about donating a autographed copy of your new book? You better do it fast before Myers and his group donate something first.


Nothing like starting a piddle contest between Bad Astronomy and Pharyngula to make my day complete!

I just love those! I got to capture the end result of one of them on "film" at TAM 5:

Everyone's getting in on this, and I'm having a heckuva time. AiG is one of the greatest perpetrators of stupidity, of insidious ignorance in this great...uh...idiom. Hm. Kind of fall apart at the end there. Anyway, I appreciate your participation in getting the word out!

If the article can work in the concept of intelligent falling I will personally pony up some money for an additional prize.
