Big boys....
The Panda's Thumb is an evolutionary blog collective of heavy hitters.... Update & commentary: One thing though...I would have much preferred the name The Blind Watchmaker for a blog focused on refuting anti-evolutionism. As the members of The Panda's Thumb acknowledge, one inspiration for their site's name comes from the late paleontologist Stephen Jay Gould. Gould performed courageously against the demons of Creationism & Intelligent Design, but, he was kind of a scientific oddball in biology (to be charitable). Don't take my word for it, look at what another non-biologist has to say, Paul Krugman:
I think it's a bit risky for the knights of evolution to espouse an appellation that has an eccentric association when they are attempting to show (correctly to my mind) that the partisans of Intelligent Design are off in left field.
