Biblical Scientific Inaccuracy
May 23rd, 2010 Daniel Fincke Some of these biblical scientific inaccuracies are really eye opening, not merely things which can be chalked up to “metaphors” but portions of the text which plainly mean to be taken literally which are absurdly wrong. Oh, and the opening is hilarious: Thanks to Victoria for the great find! Your Thoughts?

May 13th, 2010 Daniel Fincke And by “all” I mean every single living thing that ever existed, insofar as we all most likely go back to the same single cell organism: Using computer models and statistical methods, biochemist Douglas Theobald calculated the odds that all species from the three main groups, or “domains,” of life evolved from a common ancestor—versus, say, [...]

Scientists Pwn Those Lying About Their Work For Creationist Agendas
October 18th, 2009 Daniel Fincke PZ Myers points us to two great letters from scientists to creationists distorting the meaning of their work. The idea that non-biologists commenting on the internet can feel entitled to go around calling legitimate biologists frauds is so stupefying to me. Do these people have no humility, no appreciation for the rigors of specialized scientific [...]
