Same as the old ERV, only in fancy new digs.
Evolution, development, and random biological ejaculations from a godless liberal

What troubles me most about the position of skeptical theists like Alston is not ST1, but rather the inference from ST1 to the conclusion that all probabilistic arguments from evil fail. One is reminded of those philosophers who attack one teleological or cosmological or ontological argument for theism and then conclude that the teleological or the cosmological or the ontological argument fails.

Scienceblogs is sabotaging all of the scientists who use other systems.
First PZ had to switch, now ERV. They're growing into an evil monopoly as a part of "Big Science." Stein told ya about Big Science, and you didn't listen.
On the plus side, things sure ran smoother after PZ switched.

My list of debunkings of Michael Behe's The Edge of Evolution had a whole lot of entries from the old ERV. I hope they can get resuscitated.

/puts on his tin foil hat
Any chance there was some questionable activity in the blogger version of ERV's disappearance?
/hat off
Either way, congrats ERV in your assimilation.

So, she doesn't use apostrophes, because she's too lazy, and she's PROUD of that?
NEXT.

Matt:
'NEXT.' is not a full sentence or proper capitalization. You are not worthy of posting. Please go away.

I'll add ERV to this list. Waiting for the reason for the deletion to become clear but it looks like google isn't a fan of free speech. Also adding a chemist who was excommunicated from the Orthodox Presbyterian sect for accepting evolution. Anyone know any other victims, post it.

raven's quote of Blake Stacey's list of harrassed teachers of evolution:
Does anyone know where this took place? I mean, 'UT Permian' doesn't tell us much, as Utah is so backward practically all of it is in the Permian.

U. of Texas, Permian Basin branch.
Google it or Blake's blog has links to the original sources.

It will be good to see Abbie over here. I'm betting Dembski's Single Malt Bottle of scotch that she will be a top 5 traffic- blogger here before Dembski gets a new sweater - which should be less than 6 months.
ps: Don't anyone tell Creo-Tard William Wallace!

ERV? Earth Return Vehicle?

Matt:
It seems to me that refusing to use apostrophes from the third grade to grad school would require a heck of a lot more effort than just using them.
(And, yes, if you're going to play grammar police, please use proper calitalization and sentence structure. Thank you.)

Endogenous Retrovirus

Ah - I did wonder when the clever lass'd be inducted.
Does anyone else have trouble picking up her RSS?

damn, i thought it was erogenous retrovirus...

Saaaaaaah-freakin'-weeeeeet!
It's about time ERV found her lovely ways over to the hive, and I am definitely looking forward to reading what she's got to say.

re #1: "On the plus side, things sure ran smoother after PZ switched.
So Glen D, you're saying Scienceblogs made the brains run on time?
