How about a strengths and weakness of Intelligent Design? It allows small minded idiots to continue to ignore science (strength) and is complete bullshit (weakness).

That's one in eight. Unbelievable.

On the irony of expelling one of the films more prominently featured scientists from the opening as well as the movie simply being awfully made.

Escorted from the premises even! The end really is the best part, though.

Help reshelve books about philosophy and religion (specifically, intelligent design) from the science section to the religion section

Ultimately, though, he wants the scientific theory of evolution to square up with his personal religious beliefs, which ain't how science works, Sam, no matter how much you may want it to.

Chris Matthews asked a throwaway question at the Republican debate last night, Brownback, Tancredo and Huckabee all answered affirmative. See, unlike virgin births or flying spaghetti monsters, evolution doesn't give a god damn if you believe.

Rock out

"Thirty-four countries were polled, and guess what? We score 33rd - edging out Turkey for last place."

Sanity is slowly creeping back in

"Santorum told The Philadelphia Inquirer he was troubled by testimony indicating religion motivated some board members to adopt the policy." HA!

The wingnut law firm that's trying to sneak religion into science

"A federal judge ruled Tuesday that the "intelligent design" explanation for the origin of life cannot be taught in biology classes in a Pennsylvania public school district." Finally, some goddamn sense in this freaking country.

“I’d like to say to the good citizens of Dover: if there is a disaster in your area, don’t turn to God, you just rejected him from your city.” Pat Robertson is officially an asshole.

Woo hoo!

Bloody brilliant. Also, I love that one of the suggested del.icio.us tags for this one is "baseball"

These are the wingnuts that tour smoothbrain, unthinking fundies around to museums. Here's a deal, assholes, you keep your nonsense out of my museums and I'll promise not to use critical judgement in your churches.

"If Genesis 1 is not true AS IT IS WRITTEN, then how can we trust anything else in Scripture that we base our faith on?" Exactly.

Wingnut fundamentalists are taking museums by storm and overwhelming volunteers with idiotic questions about outdated mythology. W!T!F! America!

Richard Dawkins on the whole intelligent design fiasco. "When two opposite points of view are expressed with equal intensity, the truth does not necessarily lie exactly half way between. It is possible for one side simply to be wrong."

The New York Times does the spaghetti monster

Christopher Hitchens on the unfairness of intelligent design. Or, as the bumper sticker says "I won't think in your church if you won't pray in my school."

This is an oldie - linking here because the original SciAm article has gone behind a pay-for firewall

Evolutionary biologist Richard Sternberg smeared as creationist. This is bad, scientists shouldn't be stooping to the level of the creationists in this debate

Hendrik Hertzberg's weekly column is worth my subscription to the New Yorker

God bless the Onion and God bless Saleem Reshamwala

Holy shit! Another wignut creationism museum! I seriously want a tour.

Oh my GOD! I *so* want to go here. Also, what an amazingly well done website for a bunch of completely insane religious nutjobs.
