Doctors and engineers aren’t creationists!

We’re building up a biased sample that damns an entire profession — Dr Guliuzza, Dr Egnor (who seems to be adopting a more traditional creationist stance), and now Dr Keith Holmes (submitted by Transcription Factor), and so many more — and I thought maybe I should correct that by inviting everyone to name M.D.s and other health care professionals who are not creationist loons. I suspect the majority of doctors (and engineers!) are sensible, intelligent, educated people who have no problem with good science and think creationism is crackpottery.

Let’s have an open thread where the doctors and health care professionals and engineers can proudly deny the creationist spirit. Think of it as a reference and reality check next time someone feels like groaning over yet another creationist M.D.

Carnivalia, and an open thread

We have a fine, meaty collection of carnivals today, and a couple of requests for submissions.

This weekend is your last chance to send in submissions for the Circus of the Spineless.

I’m also hosting Encephalon on 12 March. If you’ve got brains on the brain, send me links.

We may also have a special event planned for 12 March here on Pharyngula…stay tuned.

Carnivalia, and an open thread

Another week, another collection of carnivals, and important calls for submissions to more carnivals.

Send me links! The Circus of the Spineless #18 is going to be right here next week, and I only have a handful of submissions so far. Need…invertebrate…fix — gimme more.


The Tangled Bank

We also have another edition of the Tangled Bank coming up at Neurotopia. Send me or host@tangledbank.net links to your more general science articles by Tuesday.
