Correcting the Creationists' broken record...

Go to a search engine and type in the phrase "Richard Dawkins stumped by creationists' question."  You will find tons of sites that purport to show Dawkins not being able to answer a crazy question posed by creationists.  In this recent item, I showed how the creationists are completely full of it.  Now, I'm going to contact tons of these sites to see if they'll set the record straight.  I mean, they are Christians, so they won't want to lie on purpose, right?

In any blog I find where this is posted, I'm going to provide a link to the blog post, and my word to have left the following message:

To Whom It May Concern:
This blog item propagates a popular creationist meme, that Richard Dawkins could not answer a question about increasing information in the genome.  However, as Dawkins has explained his answer extensively here:
http://www.skeptics.com.au/publications/articles/the-information-challenge/
As you can see, even if you disbelieve his story about the "pause" in the video footage, this answer could not have easily been provided in an interview.
Please update your item to more accurately reflect the truth.
Here are all the blogs at which I have left that comment.  If the article does not allow comments, I sent the message to the "contact" email listed on the site.  If a site below allows comments, and my comment is not there, let this stand as testament to their censorship.
