I was listening to the podcast of NPR’s Day to Day from last Friday, just after the gay marriage ban passed. They brought on several people to talk about the decision, but the most interesting for me was Maggie Gallagher, President of National Organization for Marriage. This is one of the main groups responsible for […]

After my post concerning the Alabama legislature the site was visited by C. David Parsons, author of a seven-volume textbook called The Quest for Right that claims to finally provide a synthesis of science and the Bible. Now that I’ve read through his site I’ll have more to say about Quest for Right in future […]

Now I’ll be the first to admit that there […]

The fundies in California are pissed off.
