Why Won't Creationists Learn?

kesa gatame! well, see, i've kind of gotten the impression that we are heading for another dark age. and don't get me wrong, i'm not just speaking of religious attitude.in my own area of interest, i've been made aware of the decline of modern art. art is becoming increasingly craft oriented, and less about actual artistic techniques. they favor symbols (though abstract) and concept/meaning. similar to dark age art: no real likenesses to speak of, and no discernable style.

yes. it also seems to be more willing than the dark ages. we've got these wonderful things called search engines now. only they're suddenly no longer useful. there's too much junk on the internet. too many product reviews and sale pitches. this point is totally clear when search for some evolution-related topic. do you have any idea how hard it is to find accurate info on archaeopteryx? loads and loads of pages of creationist drivel and opinion. a few pages of ranting evolutionists. but very, very little paleontologists.

i used to the be the google king. people would ask me to find all the hard stuff for them, and i could in generally under a minute. advanced search? never used it. you just have to know the boolean commands, and the various google-centric commands.

well, boolean operators are a short way of doing just that. but figuring out which terms are useful (and which terms just get you crap, products, and pornography) is the hard bit. and it's only getting harder as more and more crap, products, and porn are on the net everyday.
