Ken Ham has declared Darwin’s birthday, 12 February, to be Darwin Was Wrong Day. It’s another brilliant misstep for that bastion of inanity: browse the #DarwinWasWrongDay hashtag.

Ken Ham pulls the mask off, revealing he's an advanced gorilla. He announces the begin of the glorious revolution #DarwinWasWrongDay

And on #DarwinWasWrongDay, PZ Myers declares that Ken Ham has done something good, and laughs.

Haha, “intelligent falling” is brilliant!

Oh, wait. I think I’m doing this wrong.

I’m Not A Biologist, but I thought it was widely accepted that Darwin was wrong about a lot of things, some of them even biological things.

Manchester – According to several moth sources, differential reproductive success in the face of predation in an environment whose color background changed with an increase in coal burning had little to do with allele shifts. In fact, shifts in allele distribution were entirely irrelevant to scientific observations, sources assert: “Natural selection, smatural shmelection,” one said. “Have you ever tasted plain birch? We just decided it tasted better with pepper and lacked ourselves some opposable thumbs. You got a problem with that?”

Maybe someone should tell Ken Ham that Darwin died over 130 years ago
Crip Dyke, Right Reverend Feminist FuckToy of Death & Her Handmaiden says
Damn. Still wrong.
I guess I just don’t get the format.
Ken Ham, I suppose I’ll just have to make peace with the fact that you’re a natural twit and I’m not.

Another anniversary tomorrow, that’s worth mentioning:

The point is that Darwin got many things right, including evolution.
Maybe Ken Ham will get something right…some day.

One day a year Darwin gets it wrong. The babble is mythology/fiction 24/7/365.

Richardelguru (#3):
On Darwin was wrong day not being a biologist is a valid and widely respected scientifc credential.
Come to think of it, this gives many of a unique albeit brief opportunity to start a new career in a completely different field. We’d better make the most of it…

Intelligent falling was one of the best Onion articles of all time. I really like the slide in the picture with equations and the hand of a god.
Rich Woods says
Ken Ham thinks Darwin was wrong? He must really have something against earthworms.

“Ken Ham thinks Darwin was wrong?”
There is your entirely obvious error right there. Ken Ham “thinks”?!

One lousy atheist holiday a year and the christers want to hijack that holiday, too?

‘Ken Ham is Wrong’ will take place between 13 February 2015 and 11 February 2016.
rrhain says
Indeed, Darwin was wrong.
Evolution is more powerful than he imagined.
David Marjanović says
That’s actually Wikipedia’s job instead.

There is no god but Atheos and Darwin is his prophet. The prophet of Atheos cannot be wrong.
