Hiding the Decline

By Nick | Published: 06.12.2009
Nothing like a bunch of idiots running around with two emails, out of a thousand, declaring it as “proof” that Global Warming is a myth. If they had only read the rest of the emails instead of the out of context lines. But no, it’s just a massive conspiracy propagated by nearly all scientists around [...]

Amazon Whining and a Horse

By Nick | Published: 21.10.2009
So, Amazon.com has a “feature” where similar books have shared ratings. That is, one edition of a book has comments that might appear on another edition of the book. So, Ray Comfort released his “Way of The Master” edition of Origin Of Species. In this he added a 50 page forward which is basically just [...]

Thinking Christian

By Nick | Published: 17.10.2009
In between welding a support structure for a class project and not doing my Calculus homework, I stumbled upon a website this morning: Thinking Christian. My first glance at the posts tells me these people are still having difficulty understanding Intelligent Design. It’s 2009, guys. 2005′s Kitzmiller v. Dover is over.

Haven’t had much time to write. Also, not that much interesting stuff has happened. Except this.

Judge Jones and IDiots at SMU Today!

By Nick | Published: 24.09.2009
If I can make it, I will get to see Judge Jones III on a panel discussing the impact of the Dover trial. This is all part of a bunch of events happening there. I’ll bring my ID book and see if I can get Judge Jones to sign it with some sly remark. Dembski [...]

Man vs. God, and Some Wackos

By Nick | Published: 19.09.2009
The Wall Street Journal has an interesting article. Dawkins and some Karen Armstrong present individual answers to the question: “Where has evolution left God?” It’s an interesting read. I picked up a new phrase from it I intend to post in my office at work: “Miracle-free zone”. Like the often called but never enforced “gun-free [...]

The Greatest Show on Earth

By Nick | Published: 16.09.2009
Richard Dawkins has a new book: The Greatest Show on Earth: The Evidence for Evolution. I’ve pre-ordered it already, but Amazon won’t ship it till “around the 28th”. It seems all the cool people already have it. This time Dawkins takes a defensive approach towards explaining how creationists are idiots. Given all the evidence, if you still [...]

Bad Astronomy

By Nick | Published: 13.09.2009
I just got back from watching the show. All in all, it was good. Phil Plait talked about UFOs, the Apollo missions and people who think the moon landing was fake, movies and how they portray science inaccurately. Next, he took on Astrology, which was pretty funny. As he put it, before the planets Uranus [...]

Bad Astronomy

By Nick | Published: 11.09.2009
Apparently, there’s a guy who has a blog where he promotes science and discredits religion. Okay, so that’s not that exciting. However, he did make an appearance on Penn & Teller’s Bullshit! Who knew? My girlfriend, apparently. There’s a show at the University’s Planetarium that was produced by him, and it is not very accommodating [...]
