Everything you ever never wanted to know about Michael Egnor.

I'm linking to this Google bomb rather than posting it, because I think you will actually find the posts in it informative, but I would rather not actually participate in a Google bomb designed to detract from someone. 

I'm sure Michael Egnor must have at least a very adequate reputation as a nerosurgeon, or he would not be so important a spokesman for the creationists, and it would be a shame if his career where he could actually help people was impeded (assuming he is competent and not a butcher, but in that case, someone who is googling to see if they should let him cut into their brain needs to be able to find that information).

On the other hand, I don't want my kids taught anti-science B.S. in science class, so go.  Find out about Michael Egnor.  Find out why he might be a good resource for information about neurosugical technique.  Find out why he might or might not be good for speaking out against child abuse, or whatever...and find out why so many many biologists think he's a catastrophically terrible source for information about evolutionary biology.  I just don't want to help Gogglebomb him.

I, bizarrely, am one of the people being promoted here. (Somewhere on the first row.)

How Blog Around the Clock found me, I will never know. I will never know but having PZ Meyers link to your blog *does* boost traffic. ;-)

Ben,

One of my entries is listed in the Gogglebomb as well (I'm well down the list from you.) Did you miss the entry where PZ invited people to ask to be blogrolled? I just put my URL in the comments, with a blurb about my blog, and he put me in. No gurantee against being weeded out later, though. :-)

Yes. But to be honest, I don't read him 'religiously' enough. (A statement that would probably induce either a snort of distain or a very wry grin).

On the other hand, I'm more than a little gobsmacked this morning. Not only did my Michael Egnor post get picked up, I got a reddit entry yesterday for the 'Paper Trails' post. Thus I ended up with something like 300 people looking at my blog yesterday. 8-0

The power of the - um - blog. ;-)
