'''Project Steve''' is a propaganda campaign started by the anti-creationist group the [[National Center for Science Education]] (NCSE).
It attempts to promote the validity of evolution by means of a logically-fallacious ''[[Logical fallacies#Proof by numbers|argument ad populum]]''.
Project Steve is named after the late [[Stephen Jay Gould]], and is a list of nearly 1000 scientists named Steve or variations thereof (including Stephanie) who support evolution.
The NCSE claims that the list is a response to [[creationist]] and [[intelligent design]] lists which "try to convince the public that evolution is somehow being rejected by scientists".<ref>[http://ncseweb.org/taking-action/project-steve Project Steve] (NSCE)</ref>
However, such lists are actually rebuttals to earlier ''argument ad populum'' evolutionist claims that all scientists accept evolution, or that creationists don't have scientific qualifications.
