    Clergy Project

    http://www.uwosh.edu/colleges/cols/religion_science_collaboration.htm (via the Panda's Thumb) The Clergy Project is nearing 10,000 signatures. It's basically a petition/open letter against teaching intelligent design in schools, signed only by members of the cloth. Nice to know that...

    Definition of Falsifiability

    Scientists make the claim that ID is not science, based on Popper's definition of falsifiability. ID proponents like to claim that evolution is also not science, based on the same definition (or their understanding of it). Definition of falsifiability: The Logical Requirement: A necessary...

    Ovid's Creation Story

    The Roman poet Ovid, in the beginning of his "Metamorphoses," describes creation in this way: "Ere land and sea and the all-covering sky Were made, in the whole world the countenance Of nature was the same, all one, well named Chaos, a raw and undivided mass[...]" Seems like he's...

    Burning for Eternity?

    Jesus dies for our sins so that we wouldn't have to go to hell. I hear that a lot. Why go to all the trouble of dying for our sins, but then saving only those of us who happen to believe a particular way? To put it differently, why would God send virtuous people who do not believe in Him...

    Alternative Intelligent Design

    Pastafarianism. The Glorious Flying Spaghetti Monster created the Earth. In the Beginning, He created the mountains, the trees, and a midget. The Flying Spaghetti Monster has been manipulating scientific evidence such as carbon dating just to screw with the scientists. He is mischievous...

    Evolution Applications

    I have a nice long list of links relating to the recent avian flu scare. http://aetiology.blogspot.com/2005/10/pandemic-influenza-awareness-week-day.html http://www.idsociety.org/Template.cfm?Section=Home&Template=/ContentManagement/ContentDisplay.cfm&ContentID=13670...

    Purpose in life

    Is there a purpose in life? How is this purpose defined? By an external source, such as God, or by natural forces like society and consciousness, or both? Moving on from that, (assuming your answer to question #1 was 'yes') what is the purpose of life?

    Should Evolution be taught in Sunday School?

    Most of us are of the sensible opinion that religion and science need to keep out of each others' way. For those who wish to push the dogmatic "Intelligent Design" on the scientific community, would you be willing to force preachers and Sunday School teachers to "teach the controversy?" It...

    Evolution, Schmevolution

    Is anyone else watching the Daily Show? Even though it may be at times facetious, this still may be the best national coverage of the ID / Evolution debate I've ever seen.

    A pointer

    I thought I might make a pointer to a weblog run by a biologist, who has wonderful dissertations on the lies of creationists and ID advocates. www.pharyngula.org Professor PZ Myers was highlighted in Newsweek and has recently gained quite a bit of popularity with his weblog. I would guess...

    The Evidence for ID THREAD!!

    So far we have: 1) A mantra repeated by Vash, kbc, etc. that "life is complex, and could not possibly come about by random chance, so must be by design." 2) Minor holes in evolutionary theory. 3) Large gaps in understanding of abiogenesis. 4) The Bible. So post more evidence for ID, please...

    Life on other planets (speculation)

    Don't ask me for any proof of life on other planets. Never seen any, don't expect any. Here's my question: if life were found on another planet, but not intelligent life (just mosses or low-level single-celled organisms), how would science respond, and how would creationists?

    Hopped online looking for intelligent religious debate. Haven't found anything more than a notch or two above two people yelling at each other yet.
