Of the 25 most influential atheists featured at a student homework help site, it's curious how many are best known or widely known for pushing Darwinism.
(I'm sure Larry Krauss, at #11, is as solid a brass-footed fish as you could hope for, but he is best known for preaching the end of all things, including science, so he's not in tonight’s lineup.)
How about, instead:
#1 Richard Dawkins ("Darwin's Rottweiler", 'nuff said)
#4 Daniel Dennett (winner of Darwin look-alike contest) and the Darwinist education award: "If you insist on teaching your children falsehoods- that the earth is flat, that "Man" is not a product of evolution by natural selection-then you must expect, at the very least, that those of us who have freedom of speech will feel free to describe your teachings as the spreading of falsehoods, and will attempt to demonstrate this to your children at our earliest opportunity.")*
#7 Michael Shermer (skeptical of everything except Darwinism, I gather, but as Dennett would assure him, Darwin answers all needs)
#12 Edwin O. Wilson, prophet of Social Darwinism, oops, make that sociobiology, no wait, "evolutionary psychology" is the new brand name. To see the reason for continual rebranding, see #4 above.

Evolution has become a favorite topic of the news media recently, but for some reason, they never seem to get the story straight. The staff at Discovery Institute's Center for Science and Culture started this Blog to set the record straight and make sure you knew "the rest of the story".
A blogger from New England offers his intelligent reasoning.
We are a group of individuals, coming from diverse backgrounds and not speaking for any organization, who have found common ground around teleological concepts, including intelligent design. We think these concepts have real potential to generate insights about our reality that are being drowned out by political advocacy from both sides. We hope this blog will provide a small voice that helps rectify this situation.
