Random Quote
(Complete listing)During many ages there were witches. The Bible said so. The Bible commanded that they should not be allowed to live. Therefore the Church, after doing its duty in but a lazy and indolent way for 800 years, gathered up its halters, thumbscrews, and firebrands, and set about its holy work in earnest. She worked hard at it night and day during nine centuries and imprisoned, tortured, hanged, and burned whole hordes and armies of witches, and washed the Christian world clean with their foul blood. Then it was discovered that there was no such thing as witches, and never had been. One does not know whether to laugh or to cry.
[Mark Twain, "Europe and Elsewhere"]

A good read--I would say must read--is this interview with Robert Numbers, author of "The Creationists". It is particularly interesting for the history of the movement and for his personal rejection of his religious upbringing--I don't like the expressions "conversion" or "deconversion" for giving up superstition.

There are of course things he says that I find contestable, but it is very informative.
This pilot episode of Wired Science is worth a look. There is a good report on stem cells.
