So a couple months ago, I sat down with some science educator types and we had a bit of a tete a tete over the Science Creative Quarterly, and how surreal it seems to have this sizable readership growing. We also discussed how lovely it is that sites like Boingboing or Digg will benefit that…
I'm on my way to a taping of the Humanist Views with Host Scott Lohman. I do these now and then and have done so since I first moved to Minnesota back when it was still cold here. We'll be talking about science knowledge, and why basic science knowledge is important. We'll also be talking about…
Back in the fall, I got all caught up in the election, like everybody else, and I added a bunch of blogs to my RSS feeds in Google Reader. I'm thinking that I might need to cut back to pre-election levels, if not lower, though. Following too many political blogs is giving me whiplash.

I propose a slightly different wording:
"This text contains material that is established by scientific testing as by far the most likely explanation for living things.
There are other ideas of how living things came into being, but since they cannot be tested by any scientific method without failing, nor without violating the separation of church and state, we don't dare actually mention them by name on this sticker.
But you should consider these scientifically unsound explanations with an open mind."
