Who am I?

John M. Lynch is an Honors Faculty Fellow at Barrett the Honors College at Arizona State University. He's also affiliated with ASU's Center for Biology & Society. When he's not an historian of anti-evolutionism, he's an evolutionary morphologist. Much to his surprise, in 2007 he was named the Arizona Professor of the Year. No doubt his students were surprised as well.

Anti-evolution:

The funniest thing about intelligent design

MartinC (who gave us the wonderful Bensteinian Rapsody) has been busy uncovering secret artifacts that further demonstrate the ambitions of the cdesign proponentsists. First there is some deleted scenes from Expelled! featuring such dialog as: VINCENT: You’ll dig it the...

Another "academic freedom" bill dies on the vine.

Not looking good for the cdesign proponentsists and their attempts to weaken science education by proposing "academic freedom" bills. First Florida. Now Alabama....

New Chick Tract

New Chick tract - have at it! Especially you, Tyler. Update: I see PZ beat me to this. *shakes fist*...

Some ID links

Busy here so here are a few things to keep you amused: Larry Arnhart asks whether Michael Behe has fallen from favor at the Discovery Institute. Dembski (a pseudo-mathematician) wonders what a pseudo-documentary is and in so doing naturally calls...

"Science leads you to killing people"

Ben Stein’s anti-science stance continues. In March he opined that scientists "were the people in Germany telling Hitler that it was a good idea to kill all the Jews." Now he’s giving us the following gem of wisdom: [T]he last...

Ben Stein and the Shoah

From Evolved and Rational: You only start to feel insulted when Ben Stein decides that the Holocaust is his "personal" reason for "investigating" evolution, and trust me, you feel really insulted. No, Ben Stein, your movie is not a personal...

Ben Stein gets what he deserves

Below the fold because it’s a 250k image. But it’s worth it....

To the fifty people that saw Expelled at 4pm yesterday ...

So maybe I'm missing something but ... Expelled took in $3 million over the weekend. With over 1000 theaters and three days, that comes to ~$1000 per theater per day. At approximately $5 a ticket, that means we're looking at...

Quick shots

Some quickies ... The University of Oklaholma has announced its year-long Darwin 2009 celebration: This View of Life. Apparently it is being launched on February 12th with a public lecture by some guy called Lynch. Yeah, that Lynch. More of...

Expelled 9, Zombie Strippers 39

According to Rotten Tomatoes. Nuff said....

Today is the day - Waterloo!

Today is the day when it will all come crashing down around us evil Darwinists. Expelled has been, uh, expelled from whence it came. Yes, the prophet Benjamin will speak and the scales will be lifted from the eyes of...

Bensteinian Rhapsody

From MartinC: Is this stuff real science?Or is it just fantasy,That belongs in a place likeBob Jones University?Just close your eyes,Don’t think, just accept IDI’m a game show host,I don’t know biology,But this sleazy bunch, told me so,It could be...

Imagine there's no Expelled

I’ve been sitting on this for an hour because, frankly, I can’t stop laughing quietly to myself. As Andrea over at the Thumb notes, the producers of Expelled are now in trouble with Yoko Ono for using Lennon’s "Imagine"...

Expelled in Arizona

So I’m all a-flutter with anticipation for the opening of Expelled - two days to go to the big day on which Darwinism will finally fall. To prepare, I checked Yahoo Movies for the screening times in my area....

The Official Expelled Paternity Test

One more shot across the bows before I go back to more serious work. Expelled producers claim that: A variety of papers, micrographs, illustrations and animations with depictions of the cellular transport system of kinesin were used and are...

Ctenophores and early branching

A few days back I took on Denyse O’Leary’s "science journalism by press release" modus operandi. Now, T. Ryan Gregory has taken on the same press release while dispelling the "early branching equals primitive" fallacy that underlies O’Leary’s claims. Wander...
