I hardly ever use my blog tag, “inspirational.”  Of course, all that’s gonna change now that I’m “following” Rick Warren on Twitter!  I’m so glad he cleared that up for me.

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? That windstorm just created a watch.” Uh, duh, Bill.  You can find windstorm watches all over the place – [...]

The question a lot of people are grappling with now is, “Why aren’t the Japanese looting?”  Is it a matter of Japan’s culture and values?  Does the answer have to do with the country’s social system which rewards order and good behavior?  Obviously the admirable behavior of the Japanese can’t be explained by Japan’s “Judeo-Christian” moral bedrock, because it don’t have one.  So, what [...]

Have you heard that, later this month, (probable) Republican presidential hopefuls Newt Gingrich and Mike Huckabee will join Tea Party Queen Michele Bachmann (R-MN), pseudohistorian David Barton and other notables for a nationwide webcast?  They’ll be campaigning ministering to “God’s people” about American HIStory: …(T)he founders of our country drew their inspiration, wisdom, and direction from the Bible. Beginning in colonial times, [...]

PZ Myers at Pharyngula is reporting that Ken Ham (Answers in Genesis) may be appearing on CNN’s Anderson Cooper tonight to spew his Creationist nonsense. PZ says, Ham is asking for prayers. They won’t help him much against Lynn, who is simply an awesome… Huh?  No really.  He mentioned me by name as an awesome force against [...]

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.  [...]
