We’re so easily excited about changes in the weather in Southern California. Even simple rain causes most of us to stop what we’re doing to walk to the window, look out with wide eyes and say, “wow.” So, imagine our excitement lately. About a week ago, we were enjoying beach weather (in the 90′s °F); last night we were treated to a mini-hailstorm accompanied by thunder [...]

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. And, thanks also to Alasandra for including it. For those who missed the original post, it was a brief mention of a recent survey. It seems that the scientists who are most likely to accept anthropogenic global warming are, well, climate scientists. [...]

“There isn’t any real science to say we are altering the climate path of the earth.” ~Senator Roy Blunt (R-MO)* CNN reports that a recent survey based on the opinions of 3,146 climatologists and earth scientists reveals that “the strongest consensus on the causes of global warming came from climatologists who are active in climate research, [...]
Republican congressman ousted for choosing Satan over God

Rep. Bob Inglis, the SC Republican defeated in the 2010 primaries by a Tea Party candidate, is convinced that it is his belief in global warming that put him on “Satan’s side” in some voters’ eyes. In an interview held last week, Inglis acknowledged what many refuse to see: It is not – nor has it ever been – about [...]

Just in case you think that humankind has a snowball’s chance in hell to get it together before we make our planet completely uninhabitable, here’s a new study to dash your hopes once and for all. Global warming study: Dire warnings backfire The effects of frightening, emotional warnings about global warming might be opposite of [...]

Can we stop calling them the Greatest Generation now?

GOP’s Senior Moment: Forget the Tea Party—Republicans won because of older voters. My favorite tweet on the topic (so far): I propose a maximum voting age. If <18 y.o.’s are too immature to vote, >70 y.o.’s are too uninvested in the future. Especially on important topics like climate change, I might add. Things that are [...]
About me
As an atheist – and former Christian homeschooling parent – I blog (mostly) about the social-political aspects of religious fundamentalism, especially as it impacts the education and socialization of children.
