I don’t have time for a real post today, so I thought I’d steal something from elsewhere. I was reading the comments to the Bad Astronomy article on the 50th anniversary of the Explorer 1 satellite. Phil battles purveyors of crackpot ideas all the time, but especially those about space (killer asteroids, moon [...]
The evil Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, which has been slammed repeatedly by fundies and conservatives of all stripes as an “activist court”, has just ruled in favor of fundies. Oops! I thought they legislated from the bench.

The first one shows [...]
Buy The Second Coming at Powell’s!
What would happen if the Son of God returned today? That is the premise of The Second Coming, a British TV movie from 2003.
It’s the story of Stephen Baxter, an underachieving middle-aged video store employee who disappears for 40 days and 40 nights. When he returns, he claims [...]
