…I want to see Nature’s Engineering Degree! Yet another installment of, “How an Incredible Design TOTALLY Supports the Theory of Evolution!”  Courtesy of Wired Magazine. High-Speed Video of Locusts Could Help Make Better Flying Robots Oh how I long for the day when the evolutionist crowd can manage to kick out some puff piece without [...]

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 [...]

Winter storms stretch to New England The storms have cut power to tens of thousands of homes, glazed roads and been blamed for at least five deaths. Thus, of course, further emphasizing the desperate need for drastic measures to combat global warming, such as spending millions of the creation of the position of  a global [...]

In the previous post, commenter John Emerson took me to task for impugning the integrity of the people of Minnesota, specifically the voting review board involved in the recount process between Franken and Coleman. However, the crux of my post was not so much that the people of Minnesota were a bunch of neanderthals, but [...]

Region paralyzed by snow Snowplow crews worked furiously Thursday against a wintry onslaught that dropped record amounts of snow over the Inland Northwest, repeating a pattern left from the brutal 2007-’08 winter. At nearly 2 feet, the snow was so deep that it forced Spokane crews to focus on major arterial routes in an effort to [...]

Climate change scientists and researchers who rely on Government grants for their livelihood, are apparently insisting that more government grants are needed to adequately study climate change.  Shocking, I know. Scientists: U.S. not prepared for severe weather, climate change  {insert sirens, screaming, clips of black and white 1950′s B-movie disaster films, giant mutant ants eating police [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Okay, so me, being the easily confused sort of individual that I am, I’m having a bit of a hard time figuring out how you get awarded the Nobel Peace for a PricePrize for “raising awareness about the grim, awful, terrible, inevitable, crushing, life-destroying, people-caused specter of global warming,” not too long after your “acclaimed [...]

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 [...]
