PZ Myers has set up a blog carnival over at Pharyngula to combat the Creation Museum. He has collected a bunch of links about this atrocity, to make it easy for people to find real science information. Hopefully his list will help to undo some of the damage this fundie museum brain-washing tool is doing [...]

The jaw-droppingly stupid Creation Museum is opening this weekend in Kentucky. In “honor” of this event, I thought I’d re-post a podcast I made a couple of years ago, when this national embarrassment was announced. The podcast is 29 minutes long. I think you’ll enjoy it.

Last Sunday’s Family Guy was a bit better than usual. Maybe it was the numerous jabs at Conservative America, or maybe it was the ending. Therein lies our tale. The latest diatribe from Bill Johnson of the American Decency Association is called The Chutzpah of Fox. After monitoring the latest episode of Fox Television’s “Family [...]

I was in the local Barnes & Noble recently. I wandered over to the Religion section to see if there was anything especially alarming that I hadn’t seen yet.
