Random Quote
(Complete listing)Scientific education and religious education are incompatible. The clergy have ceased to interfere with education at the advanced state, with which I am directly concerned, but they have still got control of that of children. This means that the children have to learn about Adam and Noah instead of about Evolution; about David who killed Goliath, instead of Koch who killed cholera; about Christ's ascent into heaven instead of Montgolfier's and Wright's. Worse than that, they are taught that it is a virtue to accept statements without adequate evidence, which leaves them a prey to quacks of every kind in later life, and makes it very difficult for them to accept the methods of thought which are successful in science.

Open thread! This is a neat little film:
A transmission from the fictitious television network The Voice. Fundamental Christians and Muslims have finally found out that their basic values are pretty much the same. They join forces and take command of the prosperous northern hemisphere. The rest of the planet is about to be sealed off by a giant world wide wall. Villains, heathens and other evil people stay on that other side of the wall. Long live the Great Northern Union!!!
The Voice - a film by Johan Söderberg

Dr. Myers,
Thanks for highlighting this week's Carnival - with 44 entries, it was an excellent one.

Mankato Free Press has an article on becoming atheist:
Becoming atheist akin to finding religion
Quotes from August Berkshire and Jim Manahan, with "balance" provided by Gustavus Adolphus College Religion professor Darrell Jodock.

ScienceBlogs is making a big deal of heading towards 500,000 comments but PZ's comment numbering had already reached #c555536 (albeit with #c555535 missing from his Recent Comments list) when I started this post.

This is a test - of whether the inclusion of a link is what is now causing my comments to be blocked (or if things have cleared up as mysteriously as they went wrong).
