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.

Young Earth Creationism:
If I had a vote, who would get it?
Some of the other SciBlings are doing it, so why not ... My compatibility with the current gaggle of presidential candidates: Kucinich (95) Gravel (90) Richardson (82) Edwards (81) Dodd (78) Clinton (74) Obama (72) Biden (72) Paul (61) McCain...Posted on January 2, 2008 6:18 PM • 3 Comments

Arguments about evolution, redux
An English backpacker who stabbed a Scottish traveller to death during a row about creationism and evolution was sent to jail for five years by a judge in Australia. Alexander York, 33, from Essex, had become involved in a...Posted on December 15, 2007 5:52 PM • 2 Comments
Genesis held to be literally true by 60% of adult Americans
One result from a Barna Group poll on biblical literalism: The Bible opens with the description of God creating the universe in six days. That report is accepted as literally true by 60% of the adult population. This passage brought...Posted on October 23, 2007 8:31 PM • 7 Comments
Mutant Randomites Arise!
First we were "slime-snake-monkey-people". Now we’re "mutant randomites," and Johnson accuses us of name-calling! Mr Mote, meet Mr Eye. This just keeps getting better and better....Posted on August 23, 2007 12:12 PM • 1 Comments
'Slime-Snake-Monkey-People' of the World, Unite!
Creationist Robert Bowie Johnson Jr. has just published a book detailing Noah's role in Greek art as a known historical figure. Yeah, *that* Noah. Johnson says: "In Greek art, we find detailed, consistent portrayals of the early Genesis themes including:...Posted on August 21, 2007 1:30 PM • 19 Comments
Bergman on Bergson - Typical YEC Scholarship
Jerry Bergman is well know to those of us who follow creationism - in the past he has blamed Darwin(ism) for practically every ill that afflicts the modern world and regularly publishes "historical" work in the journals of the Answers...Posted on August 17, 2007 3:38 PM • 4 Comments

A role model for ID?
The New York Times has run a story about the young earth creationist (and ex-DI Fellow) Marcus Ross who received his PhD in geological sciences. Predictablly, the denizens of Uncommon Descent see this as some sort of victory. Cordova...Posted on February 12, 2007 4:00 PM • 11 Comments

Poor Ken Ham
Back in March, I noted that creationism was a profitable business ... at least for Ken Ham of Answers in Genesis who had a salary of $121,764 for 2004. Now Jim Lippard is reporting that Ham has taken a pay-cut...Posted on December 29, 2006 10:02 PM • 7 Comments
Happy Birthday!
As some of you may know, in 1650, the Irish archbishop, James Ussher dated the beginning of the universe using the Book of Genesis and calculated the date of creation to be October 22, 4004 BC. That would make the universe 6002...Posted on October 22, 2006 12:30 AM • 3 Comments

I'm in the wrong business
Creationism is, it appears, a profitable business. Jim Lippard has a nice piece on Answers in Genesis, Ken Ham's young earth organization. Seems that in 2004, AiG had a total revenue of $10,423,222. Ham himself had a salary of $121,764,...Posted on March 6, 2006 4:32 PM • 1 Comments
