Check out the banana one for extra lulz.

This is a clever move because it keeps the idea alive. You won't be constanltly around anti-evolution propoganda, but you will often be around peanut butter, so that peanut butter is the trigger that keeps you mentally coming back to the point again and again.

In 'The Game' (I know, I lost too, sorry) a book on picking up women, one guy gives a waitress a sachet of sugar and tells her it's a special present. The aim is the same; putting association (in this case 'that guy') with an object to increase the longevity of a thing.

I had to stop paying attention to Creationists and their crap because I always came away from it with higher blood pressure and feeling shittier.

Salem hypothesis: the observation of the apparent correlation between the engineering trade and creationist beliefs (possibly due to crank magnetism, this can also include climate change denial and other crackpot beliefs). It holds that people who claim science expertise, whilst advocating creationism, tend to be formally trained as engineers.

Fascinating.

I wonder if it because those that predisposed towards engineering may have a predisposition towards viewing the world as an ordered place with a creator that set things into motion much like how they are creators on a smaller scale.

Thats the suggestion.

Also, interestingly, engineers are more likely to become terrorists, and not through targeted recruitment, but self-selection.  It's been hypothesized that engineers, as a group, are predisposed towards a kind of black and white, clear cut view of the world which meshes well with religious fundamentalism.

Oh crap, I'm turning into one of them.
