Shelley does the call as the nerds strut their stuff... And declares a winner:
Although, without further ado, Mark Chu-Carrol hands-down wins the nerd-off (in my humble opinion of course). For one, his CURRENT picture trumps PZ's old one, and he reads programming language books for fun and has 30…
... like a lamb to the slaughter.
I guess I'm one of the last of PZ's sacrificial students. As you may have gathered from my clever alias my name is Katie and I'm a senior biology major. I've actually known PZ for a number of years--I'm a Morris native and went to high school with his son, Connlann…
As you may have seen over at Pharyngula, we've got some creationists running for the school board out here. That's not a good thing, but a few different events over the last couple of weeks have given me a lot of hope for this state.
Right now, I'm not very worried about the anti-evolution school…

"Is that a fossil in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?" - you must hear that often, don't you?
What the . . ? I downloaded about 15 seconds of it, then got the message 'We're sorry, this video is no longer available'.
Lewis Black has this incisive way of just ripping apart the arguments of the fundamentalists.
I love how he doesn't just insult Christianity, he absolutely positively tears it to shreds.
I always look at the New Testament in this way. You mean to tell me that this is supposedly a divinely inspired book? I think Black got it wrong, the Devil isn't Wiley Coyote, oh no, God is.
That was brilliant! I don't recall ever hearing of this gentleman before.
Showing nutters a fossil, or even throwing one over their heads, at least sounds like a bit of fun.
The idea the Guy in A Red Suit with Horns and Forked Tail wrote/inspired parts of the various mythical tomes is one I sometimes suggest when I get exasperated with nutters, mentioning as evidence whatever idiotic passage I can recall at the time (e.g., get rid of a woman you don't like by calling her a witch, in which case you must kill her, no trial required). It doesn't actually work very well; the nutter often doesn't the passage I'm referring to, or warbles on about me misinterpreting it, or numerous other excuses. Shutting the door in their face seems to work better and is less exasperating. And quicker.
Well, actually... There was a sizeable sub-sect of early Christianity (the Gnostics) who regarded Jehovah as the bad guy.
hee hee hee! I want to see the fossil factory! That'd be awesome.
I've also heard the argument that god put fossils in the ground to test our faith. So these people think god is omnipotent and the creator of the entire universe, but obviously he has nothing better to do, or nothing bigger to worry about, than faking fossils to confuse use and therefore test our faith? Riiiiight.
In the fullness of geologic time the fundies will sink back into the mire from whence they came to become satanic fossils themselves.
