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 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".[1] 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.
