People over at edge seem to be stuck in the "Intelligent Design" debate, which for most Europeans has no meaning whatsoever. (I actually think this is the USA rethinking their premises after they got hit with a) the Internet and b) some planes.)

Now that was easy.

This is from a bit more than worthwhile article on Edge on the adoption of science by common people.

[BTW. I always liked edge, but this self-proclaimed narcistic "third culture" thing is really over the top for me.]
