A couple of weeks ago, Pharyngula pointed to an interesting appeal from a Scottish animator. Iain Gardner wants to put together a short film that shows how many people accept the scientific theory of evolution by natural selection relative to the people who believe in the creation of life by an intelligent designer. He wants you to send him a photo of yourself – holding an apple if you’re in the evolution camp, or a light bulb if you’re an ID-er. When he strings the images together into an animated video, you’ll be able to see the relative proportion of people in each group.
If you want to join in the project, just take a digital photo and send it on. But there are some composition issues to keep in mind. Iain explains in this video stashed below the fold:
I took my photo yesterday, standing in front of the Pleistocine fossils at the Amherst College Museum of Natural History, holding an apple, and (as usual) grinning dementedly.
