What would a real "Centre for Science Education" like talking about? And what do the BCSE like talking about?
Well, you should always take statistics with a pinch of salt. Statistics might answer a question... but are they answering the question you thought they were answering? When I read in my newspaper that 75% of people from Ipswich eat corn-flakes, is that because living in Ipswich makes you like corn-flakes, or because eating corn-flakes makes you want to live in Ipswich, or is there something else that causes you to want to do both... or neither?
(Disclaimer: I have no idea how many people living in Ipswich eat corn-flakes).
With that in mind, I thought I'd run a few primitive scans of the BCSE wiki, which contains about 180 pages. How many lines within it will contain certain key-words? (Words appearing twice within the same line only count once).
1. Significant figures / institutions
(As well as the words on the labels, I used associate words - Darwinism as well as Darwin, etc. This is true for all the graphs.)
2. Concepts
3. Subject Areas
Make of that what you will!

Surely some evolutionists must be embarassed by all this? Where's all the "not in my name"-type opposition?
