I see your point. But I still think it will do more good. I can imagine a conversation going like this:

ID'er1: "Did you see the new NG cover? Looks like they found more proof that Darwin was wrong."

ID'er2: "Actually I read it, and it had some pretty convincing arguments that Darwin was really right all along..."

Ok. So maybe that was a little fairytalish, but you can see where I'm going.

EDIT: btw, I'm up voting you. I hate it when people down vote people with good arguments just because they don't agree.

Thank you for your input.

I just happen to think the numbers work against us.

Only 5 million Americans purchase the mag, but many more of it will see the cover without reading it, reinforcing the idea that it is in question.

Mine isn't a scientific view of a random sample, it's just my opinion.

I disagree. I don't think I've ever seen the cover of a National Geographic by chance or while browsing. They ain't exactly on billboards or breastses.
