Each time I encounter a physician that lacks the honesty and observance of reality it takes to acknowledge the fact of evolution it takes every ounce of me to avoid becoming a cynic. Over the past years us in the science blogosphere have become accustomed to the likes of Michael Egnor as well as Harun [...]

Yes folks, they’re at it again. And this time they’re not just hating on evolution; they’ve broadened their hatred to include octopods. WorldNutDaily author and Creationist Joseph Farah takes us on a trip down misconception-lane with his latest polemic on the recently discovered, 95 million year old Cretaceous cephalopods. In his very direct opening remarks [...]

I woke up this morning, like I do every morning, pleasantly refreshed from my latest dream, nay, fantasy, of prancing about the perfection that is the Answers in Genesis Creation Museum. You will understand my astonishment when I logged onto my computer to find Ken Ham claiming the museum was never perfect, that it had [...]

It’s true what you’ve heard. The ‘Evolution theologians’ are invading Alton, IL. Well… perhaps you haven’t heard, but now you have!
It was to my surprise that I came upon the story on Google News, particularly because Alton is such a small river town and its paper, The Alton Telegraph, is right up there with the [...]

I don’t know where I’ve been the past few years, but somehow I’ve failed to take notice of Dr. Oktar Babuna. Perhaps it’s because he’s a nobody.

Being in the midst of the year in which we celebrate the life and work of Charles Darwin on such a grand scale (and rightly so), I am being constantly reminded by both scientists and creationists alike the very major role language plays in the dissemination and interpretation of fact. It is a topic which [...]

Thomas Crowley, a professor of geoscience at the University of Edinburgh, wrote an editorial that appeared online today over at The Guardian. You can head on over and read it if you like, or you can save your time and read this, which is all that you really need to know about Crowley:

I was planning on wrapping up an article on ischemia/reperfusion today, but instead was distracted by some pretty earth shattering news. I am not sure if any of you have heard, but according to a neurosurgeon from Stony Brook University Hospital, opthamologists may in the future have the ability to give their patients something quite [...]

This blog tends to be scientifically focused, as you may have noticed. I am very passionate about the goings on and productions of the scientific method and, especially, the many ways in which these pieces fit together (or, conversely, do not).
While the Earth continues turning, and humans go on with their daily lives, however, many [...]

Skimming through The Guardian today I see that Reiss, the protagonist of my last post, has stepped down. You can find the story here.
“Some of Professor Michael Reiss’s recent comments, on the issue of creationism in schools, while speaking as the Royal Society’s Director of Education, were open to misinterpretation. While it was not his [...]
