I saw this link posted on Christian Forums by a YEC who while seemingly deluded by YEC PRATTs and propaganda exhibited a spark of intellectual curiousity. That benign opinion of mine evaporated when he suggested this drivel from Pat Boone warrented serious consideration...

This is the other main thought I always have when I see the Annoying Creationist thread, that it should really be a how to guide. So this is really the companion thread to the Non Annoying Creationist thread I started recently

Have any of you guys heard of Barry Setterfield? I guess I haven't been reading too much about ZPG, and alternate physics so I was completely unfamiliar with them when the wife, Helen starts posting to another forum I'm on. She's had some real doozies of claims and is really being taken to...

12 Questions For I.D. Creationists – ideas, inspiration and some verbiage from “Why Darwin Matters” by Michael Shermer. 1. Why do males have nipples? 2. Why did the intelligent designer design the male uterus? (the remnant of an undeveloped female reproductive organ hanging from the prostate...

I've been out of pocket/out of touch for the past week or so...my wife told me that some of the pro-Creationists on the Kansas school board lost their bids for re-election last week? Any details? Another sign of the impending raputure?

Another Reply To Bishop Wilberforce "I asserted — and I repeat — that a man has no reason to be ashamed of having an ape for his grandfather. If there were an ancestor whom I should feel shame in recalling it would rather be a man — a man of restless and versatile intellect — who, not content...

Folks, Dr. Carl Wieland is giving a lecture on creationism vs. evolution at a high school down the road from me on Wed 8th. Time permitting, I'd like to attend and try to lend support for the scientific viewpoint, which, as sure as apples is apples, will be taking a beating that night. (Any...

I'm starting this thread about the most excellent book I've read about Creationism here rather than in the literature forum because the analysis of the Creationist movement belongs more in Religion than literature or politics. For those of you who won't purchase or check it out of the library...

This is the first I've ever seen this at my high school, but at my middle school a bunch of Jehovah's Witnesses were handing out bibles to the people leaving school. Anyway..where was I. Oh yes. I was walking to school round 7:20 this morning, and a friend of mine and I were handed packets by...

Following a piece in the BMJ on 17th Dec about the Darwin exhibition, the BMJ rapid response columns seems to have been targetted by creationists and IDers. Sad to say, most of them are members of my own profession who should really know better. I've no time to respond, but wonder if any JREFers...

Dr. Walt Brown is a well known creationist with a book that attempts to disprove evolutionary theory (see his homepage www.creationscience.com) in the vein of Kent Hovind. This resume is rather impressive, but perhaps someone can look into it or has experience that could back up his claims...

I thought I'd start a thread where people could post their interesting adventures with creationists and IDers. On another forum, I posted Marvin Minsky's succinct statement of the process of evolution: Someone responded with: I quite enjoyed that. ~~ Paul

I've been meaning to follow up on the discovery of little people in Indonesia once the Nature article was available. I'm also interested in how the creationists are spinning this discovery. In a previous thread, I predicted that they would (a) attack the dating and (b) claim the "hobbits" were...

http://www.pensacolanewsjournal.com/news/041704/Local/ST006.shtml :eek: Those whacky Creationists... what won't they do next?

The story: This is gonna be good! The fundys will probably claim this is more evidence of Christian persecution. :D

Behold! Your new master!

Years ago I attended a panel at a scifi/fantasy convention: a panel on 'darwin was wrong' if you can believe that. Anyways, one of the panel members posited this, in regards to carbon dating procedures: 1. The archeologist goes to the carbon dater with the fossil. 2. The dater runs the test...

Paraphrasing some background information: http://www.nytimes.com/2003/08/10/national/10SCHO.html?th Teresa Becker chose, in her sophomore year, to major in theology . She had received $1,200 in state scholarship money for her freshman year at Ave Maria College in Ypsilanti, Mich., in 2000...

Flipping innocently through the channels a couple of hours ago, I came across a cable-access show on the "Top Ten Dinosaurs Alive Today." Of course, being a freak about dinosaurs, I stopped to watch. The show was hosted by a "Creation Scientist" who was presenting proof that dinosaurs were...

Check out Adventure Safaris Books Their point #2 is shot down apparently by the photelectric effect, as someone else pointed out...so they reject a hypothosis that actually explains something, and replace it with another one that CAN'T explain the photoelectric effect, just because it goes...
