I truly hope this is a case of confused reporting or intentional sensationalism to drive page views. ABC has an interview with Robert Ballard and PoPo links it saying he’s looking for … Noah’s Ark:

Hey Marco, how old is the earth?
Marco Rubio has a problem and it’s not that he can’t look up the age of the earth on the Internet or ask a geologist. Rubio’s problem is also Christie’s problem and Jindal’s problem: he’s not allowed to say what the answer is because he’s in a party beholden to knuckle-dragging fundamentalists from the 18th century:

Evolution, the Big Bang — LIES from the Pit of Hell!
It probably wouldn’t shock anyone if you heard that some wingnut dufus said that in public. What’s becoming even more disturbingly acceptable is this particular dufus sits on the House Science Committee. Ethan Seigal does the honors:

Help! Let the creationist fisking begin!
I’m not sure why a magazine dedicated to business would delve into the evolution issue. Nor how exactly this writer was taken in by the frauds at the Discovery Institute. But it reads like a press release straight off of Stephen Meyer’s private printing press, let the fisking begin:

Creationists swarm Dr Pepper ad
Hell hath no fury like anti-science numbskulls.

Hey Kentuckians, are those students a’lern’n evolushun?
I was born in Lexington, but moved to Austin decades ago as a kid with the first wave of IBM immigrants traveling from blue grass to lone stars. Austin’s great, but Kentucky to Texas is not exactly a political improvement for a budding rational atheist. Because sadly, in many ways they’re the same, including creationism:

Fun with information theory
Related to the Second Law of Thermodynamics argument against evolution discussed here yesterday is one equally intimidating for the non mathematically inclined that goes “a mutation can never increase genetic information, ergo evolution is impossible.” Like the second law deal it can sound real complicated. But surprisingly, if you’re smarter than a first-grader, the ‘no new info’ …

Fun with thermodynamics
For us science wonks thermodynamics is the study of heat and work and those properties of substance related to heat and work. But for creationists, it’s the basis for a prized whopper endlessly passed off as fact in the fundamentalist jihad against natural history. A recent editorial offers up the classic zombie lie:
