I knew that I was in for a treat when I learned that the 300+ atheists from the Secular Student Alliance had a special Twitter hashtag for their Creation Museum walkthrough. (In fact, two of our members went on that trip!) Check out the tweets here.
So when I saw that one of the attendees made [...]

Michael B. just pointed me to a recent article in today’s Journal Gazette called, rather obliquely headlined, “Species of education: Evolution teaching, beliefs vary for two local students“.

Our “atheist prophet”, PZ Myers, posted a really great video about the Texas State School Board, and where many of the candidates stand on teaching evolution and creationism to children in schools. Needless to say, it’s not looking good. Republican Gail Lowe, running for re-election to the board, says she will never support the adoption [...]

Unfortunately, I didn’t have time to prepare a proper post this week so in lieu of actually thinking and writing I’d like to instead offer up a pot-pourri of articles elsewhere on the web that have, in one way or the other, caught my interest in the past week or so.

This guy is the best proof against evolution

By Jake Doelling ⋅ June 3, 2008 ⋅ 7 comments

I’m sure his ancestors would be proud. He makes Ray Comfort and Kirk Cameron look like C. S. Lewis and Lee Strobel:
