Traumatized By Truth discussed Kids and Drugs: Time for that chat with the kids about drugs…

Comrade PhysioProf notes the non-skeptical nature of some of the reactions among Skeptics to apparent sex bias in the volume edited by Skeptidemigod Dawkins. I had noticed that as well, and the irony is interesting. See: Defending Dawkins

A poem about atheism from Digitial Cuttlefish.

For today’s comic interlude: Kent Hovind’s Doctoral Dissertation

And finally, some very cool science: Small bird engineers uneasy alliance between hawk and treeshrew

    I was goaded into visiting “The Intersection” and saw an article parroting the bullshit about “Dawkins is sexist because the book he edited doesn’t have a % of female authors which exactly match the % of current female authors”. Now you can’t get any more anti-scientific than that. *sigh* It was difficult to avoid the temptation to post something like “If you write shit like that, it’s no wonder it doesn’t make it into science books.” but that would just make me mysogynistic – like Chris Hitchens I guess with his “blah blah blah blah sexist. blah blah blah blah” comment (which is looking more and more realist than sexist to me).
