• Richard Dawkins in Auckland next March

  
  Open Parachute — Authority: 510
  This guy leads an extremely busy life. I know he is promoting his recently published books The Greatest Show on Earth and consequently gets into book tours. But his publishers certainly work him hard. Next March (Wednesday 10th) he is speaking in Wellington during the Writers and Readers Week at the NZ ...

• Is Genesis 1 in Accord with Scientific Observation?

  
  Prometheus Unbound — Authority: 143
  Yes. A very particular scientific observation, in fact. The author of the first chapter of Genesis clearly based his narrative on something that he had empirically observed: the world appears to be composed of two things: stage elements (light, sky, waters, land, and plants); and moving elements (sun, moon, stars, ...

• If you thought the Georgia Straight was credulous…

  
  Terahertz — Authority: 423
  Don’t even pick up The Epoch Times. The Georgia Straight has raised the Skeptic North ire a few times now with credulous anti-vax and homeopathic articles, but the average edition of the Straight contains one credulous article and a bunch of left-wing bias, all buried after about 5 pages of pure ads. The ...

• “Covenant” Creationist Unethical Use of C.H. Spurgeon

  
  The Preterist Blog ~ 100% Hyperpreterist Free — Authority: 133
  It never fails, when someone understands how weak their argument is they trudge out Charles Haddon Spurgeon in hopes a quote of his will garner legitimacy for their view. The “Theistic Evolutionists” of “Death Is Defeated” evidently have figured they need to play the same trick. In this case they have ...

• The Crocoduck!

  
  NeuroLogica Blog — Authority: 603
  Just a short post today, as it is Thanksgiving for those of us in the US, and my day will be spent with family and way too much food. Many of you may remember the idiotic duo of mindless creationism (IDMC) – Ray Comfort and Kirk Cameron. One of Cameron’s shining intellectual moments was when he presented his ...

  KHdN - Kenneth Hynek (dot Net) — Authority: 434
  I tweeted one of these articles yesterday, but I want to revisit it for a moment.

He ...

• Meet Kirk Cameron, Asshat.

  
  The Litterbox — Authority: 107
  Kirk Cameron – a mid-level actor – views himself as a strong Christian. Okay. No problem there. But when he starts spouting dubious statistics and slanderous claims against college science professors because he wants to be the next Michael Behe or because some little-known outfit called Living Waters wants to ...

  Unreasonable Faith — Authority: 583

• British creationists: some numbers

  
  The Guardian - guardian.co.uk — Authority: 987
  Those who reject Darwinism in Britain are numerous, largely irreligious, and ignorant of science The previous blog discussed how creationist opinion formers think: given that formal creationism is a belief that must be taught, this seems a sensible line of enquiry. By formal creationism, I mean the belief that most ...

• Kirk Cameron embarrasses himself

  
  Pharyngula — Authority: 725
  So Kirk Cameron and Ray Comfort showed up at UCLA to hand out their vandalized editions of the Origin , and Kirk got caught on video (with horrible sound and video quality, unfortunately) getting rhetorically bitch-slapped in an argument with a UCLA student. Be proud, California universities, youre doing a fine job. ...

  Unreasonable Faith — Authority: 583
  Today is the 150th anniversary of the publication On the Origin of Species by Charles Darwin. Hurrah!

• Happy Birthday, Charles

  
  MacDoctor — Authority: 521
  Apparently today is the 150th Anniversary of the publication of Charles Darwin’s Origin of Species . At the time, it was considered probably the most controversial book of all time, although, today, it is probably more boring than controversial and more of a scientific curiosity than a valid scientific treatise. ...

  Bay of Fundie — Authority: 127
  After reading the press release about the Darwin Was Wrong seminar, I had to run off to work. While I’m sitting there at work, my mind is coming up with all of the reasons I shouldn’t go. It takes place in one of their churches. I’d be surrounded by fundies! What if my head exploded? What if they tried ...
