Welcome to EvolutionBlog

Let me begin by thanking the good folks at Science Blogs for inviting me to join their party. The move seems to have gone smoothly. Still settling in, kicking the tires, testing the foundation and all that. Expect the links list to grow precipitously over the next few weeks. And, no, that small grey creature in the profile section is not me. Just a placeholder until I procure a photo of my smiling mug appropriate for the available space. Otherwise, everything seems in order for the production of mass quantities of bloggy goodness.

So what sorts of things do I blog about? Well, as the name of the blog suggests, I spend a lot of time replying to the relentless silliness promulgated by creationists and ID folks. Click here or here for example. Or check out this entry for The Panda's Thumb, or my roughly monthly colum for CSICOP.

I do occasionally blog about other things. I'm not a big fan of religion. Sometimes I address more philsophical issues, as in this entry or this entry. Sometimes I do a math post. I also blog about my chess exploits, which amuses me if no one else.

Basically, I blog about whatever I feel moved to write about that day.

So sit back, sample my wares, and leave me a comment to let me know what you think. Welcome to EvolutionBlog!
