Go read this and laugh your ass off.

Scientists in Britain have started creating genetically modified embryos to use for research purposes. It appears that they’re only using embryos that were discarded from fertility clinics, are destroying the embryos after five days, and won’t be implanting any of these genetically modified embryos into a uterus where it could potentially grow up to […]

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 […]

After reading through some of the comments on the most excellent Bad Astronomy blog it appears that the Academic Freedom bill I mentioned in my previous post might have died simply because they’re at the end of their legislative session and all of the leftover junk is just being rushed off the docket.  I’d like […]

The National Center for Science Education is reporting that an effort to get Intelligent Design into the state science curriculum under the guise of academic freedom for teachers has failed. This is definitely a good thing. The Intelligent Design crowd had their asses handed to them in the Dover trial back in 2005, […]

So the Chaplain has found out that Obama and Clinton have declined to participate in Science Debate 2008, preferring to attend a debate about faith and religion.  I could probably complain long and loudly about this disappointing development, but the Chaplain does a much better job.

Evidently there is a gentleman running for the Senate in Idaho who has legally changed his name to Pro-Life.  Please take a moment to let the enormity of this man’s idiocy sink in.  Here I thought that the Midwest had the market cornered on fundamentalist nutjobs, and that the Pacific coast would be free of […]

The Wisconsin Senate is thinking of passing a bill that will force “conscientious objector” pharmacists to provide contraceptives and the morning after pill to individuals no matter their own personal beliefs on the matter, and boy are Christian groups in that state annoyed.
These Christian groups are trying to turn this into a complicated morality debate, […]

It’s time to tackle some more creationist stupidity, this time from blogger and Intelligent Design proponent DaveScot at the Uncommon Descent blog.  Dave argues that, all evidence to the contrary aside, the state of science education in America is just fine.  You almost can’t blame a creationist for holding onto an incorrect belief in the […]

Those wacky short-earth creationists are at it again.  They lost the Intelligent Design fight in court back in 2004, so now they’re going straight to the source in an attempt to discredit the entire scientific body of knowledge supporting evolution by resorting to the oldest and most childish of logical fallacies: the ad hominem attack.  […]
