Evolution Debate
Texas Board of Education vs. Evolution
The evolution vs. intelligent design/creation in the classroom “debate” continues in Texas, as the two sides squared off in the most recent school board meeting.
My only information on the meetings comes from one witness, who as any right-minded individual should be, was there to support science.
I can’t even begin to tell you how upsetting it [...]
Defining the Word ‘Theory’ as Used in Science
One of the most frustrating aspects of discussing evolution with a creationist, or many plain old religionists for that matter is their simple lack of understanding the word “theory.” Is evolution “just a theory?” Yes. Just like gravity. They’re both also facts.
Apparently The Creation Museum Isn’t Worth Visiting
Not that I needed to be told that I wouldn’t enjoy a trip to The Creation Museum outside of Cincinnati, but I’ve found out that I apparently won’t enjoy it. Shocking. Come to think of it, I don’t think I’d enjoy Cincinnati, but that’s for completely different reasons.
Thankfully, Christopher from Fabulously in the [...]
Conservapedia Scares Me
The conservative answer to Wikipedia, Conservapedia, scares the living daylights out of me. I’ll be honest — I’d never even known that Conservapedia existed, and right now I wish I could go back in time to when I didn’t know about it. Despite being an atheist, I actually tend to lean to the [...]
Ben Stein Doesn’t Understand Logic
Ben Stein is at it again, defying logic as well as anyone I’ve ever seen.
I’ve already said all I’m going to say about Expelled, and it’s bad science. For now at least.
Now, I’m taking issue with Ben Stein himself. Again, I loved him in Win Ben Stein’s Money, and of course Ferris Bueller’s [...]
Expelled Gets Served by Scientific American
Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed is under more and more scrutiny as publicity for the “documentary” grows. This Ben Stein joint is based on the premise that theories and evidence of intelligent design are being suppressed by “big science”, the ridiculous little phrase they use to refer to academia and scientists in general.
I’ve already given [...]

Ben Stein vs. Big Science
Ben Stein has made a film about Intelligent Design, and wants to know why the teaching of it, or at least it’s debating, is closed to academia. There are many answers for Mr. Stein, but I doubt he wants to hear them.
Creation vs. Evolution
I can understand why people believe in creation. It’s all they know. They’ve been taught that God created the Earth and they were given a specific timeframe for which it happened. So when scientific evidence is uncovered that proved their belief system to be factually incorrect, they don’t want to believe. [...]
