  • Christian Identity: The scary religion you don’t know about

    Sadly, Michigan is home to an awful lot of racist bastards with guns. The Hutaree group arrested in May 2010 for stockpiling guns and explosives is a pretty good example. Once again, Americans were shooting and plotting terrorism and they were doing it in the name of Christianity. To those of us who have been targeted by Christian Identity folks, this isn’t…

  • A Creationist in Boston: Recaps Are In!

    Over on Boston Skeptics, I’ve just posted a recap of our adventures last night at the Harvard-educated creationist’s lecture. I also link to several other recaps by science-loving folks from the area who attended. The event was pretty awesome, actually, thanks to an impressive group effort on the parts of the Boston Skeptics, the Boston Atheists, and stray individuals who…

Via Gawker comes this confirmation from Times spokesperson Catherine Mathis: Ben Stein’s fine work for us…

It’s much more frightening than the Haunted Mansion. Coming a close second to Ken Ham’s Creation Museum in the list of pseudoscientific anti-museums, this is a ‘museum’ where…

  • I didn’t listen and I don’t regret a thing.

    Last night I went to Skeptics in the Pub, London, as usual, but ended up doing something out of character. I left a few minutes into the talk because I thought the speaker was talking such utter rot, not only was it pointless me continuing to listen, but it would actually have a negative impact on me. That is, it…

  • A scientist argues Creationists might be right

    I thought in light of the ongoing discussion going on here, it might be interesting to mention an article came out today in The Scientist: What Neo-Creationists Get Right. I disagree with the first two points of the author, but I think he’s on to something here: “The third noteworthy point IDers make has its roots, paradoxically, in a kind…
