What are you Coloradans doing on Halloween?

By pharyngula on September 16, 2009.

You don't need to watch a spooky movie or visit a haunted house to see dead zombies walk: you've got an Intelligent Design creationism conference going on in Castle Rock! Watch them stagger about, drooling, looking for some brains, frustrated because there aren't any on stage. They've got Michael Behe, Stephen Meyer, and David Berlinski (oooh, a zombie with an affected air of superciliousness! Creepy!), and they're going to explain to you how Darwin drowned the world in a sea of meaninglessness. And you get to learn how to turn the tide! Right.

It's a little bit revealing, too, that this is organized by the Shepherd Project, which provides "Christian speakers, conferences and resources to help Christians maximize their impact on the world for the sake of God's Kingdom". I thought ID was a secular hypothesis? Was I wrong?

Darwin and Design in Knoxville, Part One
The ID folks put on one of their dog and pony shows in Knoxville, TN this weekend. My curiosity piqued, I decided to check it out. So I left big bowls of food and water for the cats, piled into the Jason-mobile, pointed it South, and wound up in Knoxville six hours later. Things got off to an…
Lonely broken-hearted creationists
Aww, poor Intelligent Design creationism is feeling unloved. Or perhaps it's jealousy. David Klinghoffer, that clueless ideologue at the Discovery Institute, is whimpering that blogging scientists aren't paying enough attention to his brand of creationism. Darwinian scientists who blog -- in other…
