Most of you have probably already seen PZ’s post ripping “Dr.” Don Patterson’s testimony before the Texas State Board of Education. You probably laughed merrily at the man’s utter ignorance about evolution. Just another liar for Jesus, right? Well, yes, but some people get inordinately impressed by a doctor’s testimony. I’m sure there’s plenty of …

The Presuppositionalists
Science Sunday continues… Two posts, one on The Panda’s Thumb and one on Thoughts in a Haystack, explain brilliantly why creationists stubbornly stick to their pseudo-science in the face endless evidence debunking them mercilessly. First, honored patron of the cantina Richard B. Hoppe gives us this fantastic analogy: Once in a while an analogy comes …

Pwnd by Pieret
The mudskippers stand in awe of John Pieret’s awesomeness. John Pieret, reporting the timely death of a Mississippi anti-evolution bill, delivers the perfect cut: Unable to stop with the Discovery Institute’s patented “nudge, nudge, wink, wink, know what we mean,” this person, who disregards his solemn oath to “faithfully support the Constitution of the United …

Ken Ham Gets Walloped
Bay of Fundie is among the best blogs to visit if you want to watch fuckwitted fundies get bitch-slapped with a yardarm. Ron’s deconstruction of Ken Ham’s attempt to prove that the Bible pwns science is an excellent case in point. All of the entries on this ridiculous plaque follow the same pattern. First, say …

A Game for the Holidays
I’m tempted to put together a skeptics’ holiday party now just so we can play: I need one for the Right, too, if anyone knows where to find one. Please make sure it includes “false equivalence,” of which there seems to be an abundance just lately.

Persistent IDiots, Aren’t They?
They’re too stupid to give up. Here’s yet another creationist-infested school board getting ready to toss millions of dollars down the shitter just so they can shove their religious claptrap down kids’ throats: The Brunswick County school board is looking for a way for creationism to be taught in the classroom side by side with …

John Derbyshire Rides Again
Science and science education have a few friends on the right. Not every conservative is a demented fuckwit pandering to religious frothers, or a willfully deluded ostrich burying their head in the sand of Intelligent Design. Some, in fact, actually respect science, and don’t like to see religious dogma masquerading as “scientific theory” mucking it …

Quelle Surprise
You’ll understand the reason for this: When you’ve read this. This opportunity for really kitschy humor brought to you by Science vs. Creationists. And John Pieret, of course!

Robert T. Bakker Just Got Right Up My Nose
That’s right. That Robert T. Bakker. The dinosaur guy. The one who gave me all sorts of delicious ideas when I was using dinosaurs as the springboard to building a better dragon. He got so far up my nose tonight he made my brain recoil. Brian Switek at Laelaps interviewed Dr. Bakker several weeks ago. …

Catching Up with Expelled
It’s been a long time since Expelled hit the theaters and failed spectacularly to deal a death-blow to evolution. It didn’t give unstoppable momentum to various Academic Freedom bills. It didn’t topple Michael Moore’s documentary throne. Rather than further its agenda, it managed to make itself a laughing-stock amongst all but the most deluded of …
