These were but together by Colin Purrington, a biology professor at Swarthmore (click on the image to go to his page, which includes a pdf of the stickers (which unfortunately don't seem to be a standard Avery label size) and some discussion, mostly oriented toward parents). Anyone care to bet he could get away with it if he worked for a State University?

I was fairly amused until I started checking the links.

evolution.berkeley.edu is forward to siliconvalley.org, which is an advertising service that has nothing to do with biology.

http://wilstar.com/theories.htm describes a scientific law as "true and universal", yet gives Hook's law, which is a linear approximation to a complex phenomenon, as an example. Very sloppy. And the explanation of proof for a theory is rather facile. We are wrong sometimes, and lose a lot of credibility if we fail to admit it.
