Impossible Souls?

Thermodynamics renders the soul impossible which kind of cuts the nuts right off every religion. If I were religion, I would be pissed.

Flat Earthers



Creationists/IDers: There really are flat-earthers by the way, and they agree with you on your most important points. The only difference is they just know how to read the bible better than you.

Science - Under Assault

I see it everyday, science is under a direct and well funded assault.  It's a shame really, the study of nature (science) intends nothing more than to be a path to knowledge.   Illuminating knowledge is something for which science has far and above the best track record in human history.  For this sin, it must be destroyed.

It's old news that science education in the USA suffers disgrace, especially if you live in Mississippi, Oklahoma, or many southern states [LiveScience].  However, the real reason science education has faltered seems to be akin to a family secret that is impolite to talk about.  Creationists are trying to kill science.

To understand the threat to science you first have to understand science, but if you were born in the USA, you probably don't even know what science really is.  The real shame then is all of the charlatans who use the word "science" and have nothing at all to do with science mislead a sizable portion of the public.  I will post a series describing some science fundamentals that people largely don't know or don't understand to arm you against these science charlitains.

In the meantime, run and visit sciences unsung heros at the National Center for Science Education (NCSE).  They are the "behind the scenes champion" that fight daily to protect science education in the USA from those who are trying to destroy it.  They engineered the Dover Trial victory, which is well represented in an excellent Nova documentary available for free to watch online.
