  PA Court Rejects Intelligent Design In The Classroom

  I’d much rather live in a world where this wasn’t even a debate, but a victory is a victory.


I love my country, but my countrymen make me sad.

  A new Gallup poll shows that more than half of Americans reject evolution. 31% believe that man evolved and God guided it, and only 12% believe that evolution just happened without anyone at the wheel.

  In fact, I think that needs to be a t-shirt. A big “12%,” maybe with a subtitle about being proud of evolution. Would anyone else wear that?


Secondary School Students In England To Study Creationism

  BBC News is reporting on new curriculum guidelines that will require biology teachers to address the creationist perspective in a unit on fossilization.

  Physicians and Surgeons for Scientific Integrity, A.K.A. Doctors Doubting Darwin, makes publicly available its list of members.

  The lesson here is that education won’t always squeeze the stupid out of you, even if you’re a doctor.
