"As scarce as truth is, the supply has always been in excess of the demand."
attributed to Josh Billings

I applaud the effort, but it sounds like some of the clergy that are
signing on are basing their agreement on trusting science and
scientists. They don't know enough to understand why it is true, and
they aren't able to support that belief with personal knowledge. This
could backfire on the effort.

It may be easy for a biologist to scoff at the dishonest intelligent
design creationist scam, but these guys don't have that education, and
they don't have the resources or know how to access them to get the
information that they need.

The scientific consultants and resources on the page should be on the
left and not the right of the page (I'd put them on both sides of the
page).
