Check out "David Suzuki vs. Michael Crichton".

He wrote the equivalent: m=E/c2. In 1901, the entire Indian subcontinent, with a population totalling 300 million, was administered by a British ruling caste which consisted of no more than 1,000 men. From 1948 to 1963, Porsche manufactured more than 150,000 tractors. http://www.quadrastreet.com/blogger.html#112869943065149511noreply@blogger.com (Steve)tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5069617.post-112800739468450580Thu, 29 Sep 2005 15:16:00 +00002005-09-29T08:23:14.690-07:00The subject of Intelligent Design fascinates me. I don't believe in creationism. I do believe in God - the Jewish version, anyways :) I like the idea of Intelligent Design being a philosophy that appeals to the intuition rather than the intellect. Should it be taught in schools? Perhaps as a talking point, rather than a doctrine.

The idea is that we're actually in the year 1005 (approximately) because historians have taken ancient documents too literally, leaving us with a poor chronology of the last 2000 (or is it 1000?) years.

I knew they were important, but tended to shy away from trying to cram too much into them. What I got out of the article were: Google and others will rank you higher with having relevant, honest titles. The title can be upto around 70 characters and still show up in the search results page. Take advantage of Google synonyms.
