Creationism is only the beginning. Kansas is showing us a whole new way of thinking about everything on the curriculum.
It must be funny pages day today—Doonesbury also gives us a good one that raises a good question about blastocysts.
Today’s Non Sequitur gives me a line I’ll have to remember: “victimizing people with reason.” No wonder people get peevish with me…I’m just a thug for rationality.
It’s a Submissive Jesus figure — torture him by twisting his crown of thorns, and he’ll promise you anything. At last, a godhead that actually responds!

Look at this: now the Intelligent Design creationists are branching out into pirate fashion. They’re everywhere!
OK, this is the final straw. The Intelligent Design creationists send out press releases, they peddle textbooks in our classrooms, they publish dishonest books of pseudoscience, and now … and now, they’ve come out with a popular magazine.
I’d complain some more but I’m afraid they’d kick sand in my face and beat me up.

I may have just used the old 2+2=5 analogy, but I also like this example from the Primate Diaries:
Fundamentalists: believe 2+2 =5 because It Is Written. Somewhere. They have a lot of trouble on their tax returns.
“Moderate” believers: live their lives on the basis that 2+2=4. but go regularly to church to be told that 2+2 once made 5, or will one day make 5, or in a very real and spiritual sense should make 5.
“Moderate” atheists: know that 2+2 =4 but think it impolite to say so too loudly as people who think 2+2=5 might be offended.
“Militant” atheists: “Oh for pity’s sake. HERE. Two pebbles. Two more pebbles. FOUR pebbles. What is WRONG with you people?”
(props to Stephen Wells.)
A religious group in England is terribly upset at the lack of respect their beliefs have received lately. In particular, they are indignant at the mockery made of one of their holy sites.
(Careful on clicking through—fortunately, I saw this at a late hour of the night, or my howls of laughter might have disturbed my colleagues.)
