I’m back! I just got done recording songs people had requested…with the flu. Ah well, it’s like my old voice teacher always said: you have a career because you can sing when sick. This may explain why I don’t have a career… Anyway. A while back I wrote a post about a creationist website that [...]
Anti-evolution bill in Missouri gets better treatment than it deserves, but it's dead all the same

Remember that anti-evolution bill in Missouri that all you beautiful, beautiful Missourians raised hell about? Yeah, it died in a ball of fire, which was still too good for it. All the same, it’s dead.

Tennessee passed an idiotic bill that would allow non-science to be taught in public school science classes. Tomorrow at 2:00pm at the Capitol building in Nashville there will be a rally to oppose it. If you’re in Tennessee, you should be there. Give Gov. Haslam an earful – he deserves it. Christina did a good [...]

Christina here.. A bill you might object to in TN just became a law. This happened. Gov. Bill Haslam has declined to sign Tennessee’s so-called evolution bill, which protects teachers who criticize evolution, global warming and other scientific theories. The Republican governor did not veto the measure or sign [...]

In 2008 Louisiana passed their attempt at the Guinness world record for misnomers. The Louisiana Science Education Act allowed teachers to supplant the teaching of confirmed science with whatever fantasy they wished, including creationism. It’s like the leaders we elected think we’re idiots. Next on the ballot is the Louisiana Children’s Happiness Act which will [...]

Indiana creationist bill inches along

Christina here… For the love of science, Indiana, how did this creationist bill pass committee? Indiana’s Senate Bill 89, which if enacted would allow local school districts to “require the teaching of various theories concerning the origin of life, including creation science,” was passed by the Senate Committee on Education and Career Development on January [...]
Hey All You Missourians!

Turns out there’s dumbness in Missouri. Right now there’s more than usual. House Bill 1227, introduced in the Missouri House of Representatives on January 10, 2012, would, if enacted, require “the equal treatment of science instruction regarding evolution and intelligent design,” according to the legislature’s summary of the bill. The equal treatment provision would apply to both [...]
Why We Shouldn't Teach Both

I used to blog on xanga so both my parents made xanga accounts to make it easier to comment on my site. Well, dad still posts there on occasion and this morning he posted a bit on why we can’t teach creationism in science class. It’s already getting some inane comments, so feel free to [...]
The Premise of Spreading Creationism is Pretentious as all Hell
January 3, 2012 By 6 Comments
Jonathan sent me a link to a creationist web site. It’s the same stuff you’d expect, but the very first line on the site spells out the problem (and arrogance) of creationists beautifully. We all know that the book of Genesis as real history is not treated seriously in our public schools nor in the media, [...]
