- On raising questioning children rather than atheist children– A good succinct article with the expected unfortunate reactions in the comments. There’s a discussion about it going on at the Friendly Atheist as well.
- In five hours of cable news expect one minute of science coverage– Not really surprising.
- Why the ocean is blue– It’s more complex than just the surface reflecting the sky.
- The hypothesis of initial bipedalism– It ties yetis into human evolution. Huh. This was a new one for me, though I have read and written on the semi-related aquatic ape theory.
- Music fans’ favorite drugs don’t quite match the stereotype– But they don’t quite break it, either.

Ugh, “unfortunate” hardly even begins to describe some of those comments. As a parent, though, I agree with the article. It’s very important to me that my daughter learn to think for herself, not just think what I think.
I know it’s hardly the worst comment but it gets awfully tiresome to hear “atheism is a religion” all the time.
