Google Scholar is a useful tool for finding high quality resources. Often those resources are peer-reviewed or otherwise scholarly. It’s great. Unfortunately, there is this one little problem.
Unfortunately, somebody or some algorithm is getting a bit sloppy, and it also returns articles for Answers in Genesis, the Institute for Creation Research, and Creation Ministries International. It’s somewhat understandable — all of those institutions know deep down in their sweet stupid little hearts that rank theology has no credibility, so they do their very best to ape real science in style, if not in content.
As a result, there is an online petition to sign, for what it’s worth, to get Google to clean things up a bit. Sign it.

For the Sake of Science 
I already signed the petition, but it probably wont matter.
