What a dork. Texas Rep. Bill Zedler has introduced one of those anti-evolution ”academic freedom” bills because, When was the last time we’ve seen someone go into a windstorm or a tornado or any other kind of natural disaster, and say “Guess what?

Hi, Everybody. This is Pastor Steven Anderson. Pastor Steven recently read an article reporting that chickens and T. rex shared a common ancestor. Of course, he thinks it said that dinosaurs turned into chickens (like most creationists, Steven doesn’t understand the concept of creatures descending from a common ancestor). So, to share the laugh with his flock, he has [...]

I noticed that my post, “Scientists know more science,” was included in the latest edition of Carnival of Homeschooling. Thank you to the person who submitted it.

It seems that the scientists who are most likely to accept anthropogenic global warming are, well, climate scientists. [...]
