Forget the Birth Certificate…

Oh how I long for the day when the evolutionist crowd can manage to kick out some puff piece without anthropomorphizing inanimate objects [...]

Evolution vs. Design

Despite the title, according to this article, there is no “.vs” between evolution and design.
“Prehistoric mammal swung tail like baseball bat“
Or..at least, we’re pretty sure, kinda, but it sounds like a good script!
The findings about glyptodonts — which looked like a cross between an armadillo and a Volkswagen beetle car — apply to dinosaurs that [...]

Intelligent Design Need Not Apply

Intelligent design costs prof his job
Regents reject tenure request without evidence, testimony
The Discovery Institute said it also had reviewed the e-mail record regarding Gonzalez’ teaching, and found “an orchestrated campaign conducted against Dr. Gonzalez by his colleagues, with the intent to deny him tenure because of views he holds on the intelligent design of the [...]

More Anthropomorphic Evolution

Gigantic fossil rodent discovered
The authors say the animal would have lived alongside carnivorous “terror birds” and sabre-toothed cats.
“If you are a rodent you cannot run so well so you would have had to fight with these predators,” said Dr Rudemar Ernesto Blanco of the Institute of Physics in Montevideo, Uruguay, one of the authors [...]

Ta Ta, for now.

Well, this has been a great discussion, and I was pleasantly surprised to find only one of the many commenters descend into name-calling, so that was refreshing.
 Clearly I do need to bone up (hah!) on some of the more recent research and discoveries, as my knowledge does appear to be somewhat dated.  But at its [...]

Evolutionary Theory Takes Another Hit

This is almost too easy.
Skull Suggests Two Early Humans Lived at Same Time
Surprising fossils dug up in Africa are creating messy kinks in the iconic straight line of human evolution with its knuckle-dragging ape and briefcase-carrying man.
The new research by famed paleontologist Meave Leakey in Kenya shows our family tree is more like a wayward [...]

Reductio ad nauseum.

Well, I had thought to gin up one last creationsim post, but from reading the comments on and from several other anti-creationism (or in some cases, anti-creationIST) blogs, I’ve come to the sobering, if not unsurprising conclusion that as far as “science” is concerned, the battle is over and creationism lost.  And anyone who hasn’t yet awoken [...]

It’s alive (or, yet another creationism post)

Dropped off the net for a while, literally, as my internet access went kerflooie, until I figured out I had a bad modem.  Swapped that out and Tada!  Back on the web.
Well, I kind of lost some steam with the creationism bit, but I wanted to drop in one more post, in response to Brian [...]

The Threat Of Creationism

Up from the comments again, I feel the need to ask this question.
What is the threat posed by the theory of creationism?  There are myriad blogs and articles and online journals that speak of “combatting” creationism, or which at least stress the need to remain “scientific” and not allow archaic religious sensitivities to influence our [...]

Combatting creationism with science

I found an interesting link/post via one of the comments, entitled “Combatting creationism with History.”  The premise being, of course, that the Bible is a quaint collection of melded cultural myths, an archaic holdover from the scientific dark ages to which people cling out of a sense of maudlin sentimentality, if nothing else.  Gee, nothing new there, [...]
