Maybe it's a bad, bad idea for a community to have an open-access electronic bulletin board, because it sure is a great tool for exposing the ugly underbelly of the group. Kearny, NJ has had its moment of fame, with...

I am not going to praise John Derbyshire; some people seem to be impressed because he has penned a dismissal of the ID creationists, but jebus, that ought to be the absolute rock bottom minimum we should expect from...

I don't believe in New Year's resolutions—they're always so narrow and boring. I'd rather advance some bigger goals. When I was a young fellow, and my father was teaching me how to swing a bat, he'd tell me I shouldn't...

Read the account of Saddam Hussein's last moments—it's a strange thing. Hussein was an evil man, but still, he carried himself at the end with strength and courage and a good amount of anger. The whole scene sounds like it...

The daughter has put up a post with her thoughts on abortion—I swear I have not given her any instruction or even talked about the subject with her, but somehow she has developed roughly the same opinion on it that...

It's hard to believe, but there is more information on the absurd board game designed by Kirk Cameron and Ray Comfort. Cameron said, “We are very excited about this game because it presents both sides of the creation evolution argument,...

I don't think I showed this video in the flurry of Architeuthis posts a while back, but if so, it's worth seeing again. It is rather sad how limp and exhausted the poor animal looks as they drag it in....

Jason pitches into that twit, Peter Hitchens—you may recall that I dealt with the same column a while back, but that level of stupid does support double-teaming to counter it, I think....

Ed Brayton and Mike Gene have gone over the top in accusing Richard Dawkins of wanting to coerce the religious into giving up their beliefs; as is usual for Ed, he has no problem immediately comparing an atheist to R.J....

Crap. Lippard misread the report: it was a 6 month form. There has been no net decline in revenues to that creationist junk organization, and I was wrong. There have been no promising developments in a decline in grassroots support...

Hey, everyone, you're being asked for some help. A certain someone is going to be giving a talk to Hugh Ross's group, Reasons to Believe, and he wants a list of common creations fallacies and good rebuttals. Remember, RtB is...
