I know it hurts, it hurts so bad, but I have to ask you again to keep clicking to help me win that iPod Touch from Eric Hovind. It’s only a little pain, after a few clicks you’ll be numb.
But that reminder also reminds me that I’ll be judging a video contest after 1 June — you only have one more month to put together an entry to explain evolution in two minutes or less. Eric Hovind is welcome to enter — a little comedy relief is always nice — but I think his videos are more of an anti-inspiration. Put him to shame with some substance! Look at his shoddy work and resolve to show the world how it is realy done!
Say…wouldn’t it be handy if I had an iPod Touch I could fill with the contest entries?

I didn’t notice before that there’s more than one of those “Creation Minute” videos. I just watched the “Nothing + Time = Everything” one, and would just like to say;
ANTI-THOUGHT JUSTIFIES MY HATE
ANTI-THOUGHT JUSTIFIES MY HATE
ANTI-THOUGHT JUSTIFIES MY HATE
ANTI-THOUGHT JUSTIFIES MY HATE
ANTI-THOUGHT JUSTIFIES MY HATE
Thank you.
William says
Abiogenesis, this one. Apparently “evolutionists” are going around expounding on early-universe cosmology, so naturally Eric has to be an expert in physics as well as biology.

I’ve recanted from not going into mind hell, just so you have a shot at annoying a Hovind. The things I do….
Now where did I put my migraine pills?

1st on my to-do list each morning
douq says
Do you think someone like Hovind would run an honest poll, bye-bye to server logs when you show up in the top? You’ll need another place to win that iPod. But it’s fun to irritate him anyway with votes for you.
Professor Peewee says
Hey! last time I watched that whole damn thing, and when it was over the screen filled up with a whole bunch more videos to choose from…most of which didn’t have anything to do with creationism, and some of which had some attractive young women in…interesting costumes. I didn’t understand the connection…but it made clicking over there more fun… Now it’s just more creation crap…
Mike Heisenberg says
I like how “Nothing”²+”Time”², using the Uncertainty Principle indeed spawns a hell lot of stuff.

Yeah PZ, that did hurt a lot, and I’m not even a biologist, just someone with half a brain.

Done….cack.

When does this bloody competition finish? I can’t find it mentioned anywhere on the site.
Maybe it just automatically ends when the rapture happens.
C. M. Baxter says
I Came, I saw, I threw up. You better make good use of that iPod, PZ.
Cath the Canberra Cook says
You don’t actually have to watch the video, right? Would hust a second on the page, and a quick click back, should be safe?
rumleech says
I’ve been doing it for you PZ but I have to tell you, my web browser cache feels soooo dirty.
Mandy says
I do it for you, PZ. But it hurts . . . so . . . very . . . much.

Did you see the size of those planets in the “
Hovind’s brainNothing + Time = Everything” video? They were bigger than all the stars! Eric Hovind apparently thinks neutron stars are the only stars.Shel says
Can’t someone write a Perl script to virtually click the URL a couple of thousand times so we can all save ourselves the nonsense and repetitive strain injury?
David says
What’s next? Who can do the best job of explaining evolution on Twitter?
MDMX says
He gots a microscope and beakers, it gots to be science!!!!
Home schoolers can now cover all science in a “creation minute”

Qwerty says
I clicked again, but I avoided watching the insipid video again. I also think Eric wants you to win in some perverse way. Remember, be careful what you wish for; it might come true.
Sandra says
I do it for you!!!
foxfire says
Darn it PZ; sometimes you just ask too much! I bookmarked it in my firefox bookmark toolbar so I wouldn’t forget but it’s just sooo *icky*
OK, I moved it next to my webmail icon….
anthonzi says
I love his interpretation of cosmology in the first episode! LOL. GODDIDIT GODDIDIT GODDIDIT
Nikolaos says
That’s the fourth time I clicked, but the first I watched the “minute”. Do we HAVE to watch it in order for our visit to count? (I have no degrees apart from highschool, but the video is bad even for me).
Lilly de Lure says
The things I do for you PZ!
You’d better put something really good on that wretched device after all this!
Logicel says
Lobbed off about 50 clicks. Then had a quickie phone therapy session, but still not ready to lob off another 50. Think I need a longer therapy session.

Pierce R. Butler says
C’mon now, if creationminute.com was really scientifical, they’d have a poll!
I want my brain cells back – Hovind isn’t going to use ’em.
Alan Kellogg says
Two minutes? I’ll explain evolution in two sentences.
1. Mistakes happen.
2. Sometimes the mistake works better than the right answer.
Everything else is just details.

Now, I’ve clicked lots on that. Any chance of some clicks (and, ideally replies) on this website:

An article trying to correct simple science misconceptions, and have had a random creationist jump in with the ‘it’s just a theory’ idiocy. I’ve replied, but the guy hasn’t come back with anything. I’m hoping that with enough provocation he might actually reply…
