By way of Pharyngula, apparently the creationists are starting to abuse information theory, not just physics, in their tortured attempts to justify their doctrine.

Of course, you understand, this means war.

ETA: /me reads the comments. Oh. Apparently creationists reject Claude Shannon's work on information theory. Infidels. They shall be first against the wall when the revolution comes.

One thing that I will never understand is why creationists believe that an omniscient God is bad at math.

BTW, the correct answer is "find a multi-digit number which isn't a multiple of either 10 or 7 in the Tanakh. Of course it's rounded."

"See! The Bible's not inerrant! We're only going to one significant digit, the one after the decimal point could be wrong."
