Part 1: The Cytochrome-c tree, anomalies, and why anomalies exist (Disclaimer: I’m not in the field of bioinformatics.) Cytochrome-C is a protein involved in turning food and oxygen into energy. It’s found in Eukaryotes – which means all multicellular life (plants and animals) and some single-celled life (fungus and yeast). The fact that it’s so [...]

Democratic National Convention, Randall Terry, and Abortion

Well, the DNC is right around the corner. I live in downtown Denver, and I can already see some extra people in the area. (If anything crazy happens, maybe I’ll have pictures or video.) Lots of groups have been coming in to try to influence the Democrats. Lots of protests are planned – and many [...]

Golf Astrology
Posted in Astrology, Humor, Stupidity on August 13, 2008 | 4 Comments »
I nominate this for the most ridiculous book I’ve seen all year. It has a chapter for each astrological sign, giving you personalized advice on what you should wear on the golf course, the preferred signs of your golf partners, and whether or not you should buy used clubs.
Militant Atheists “up in arms” against Spore
Posted in Atheism, Media on August 13, 2008 | 2 Comments »
(Militant Atheists shown below.) Apparently, in game testing, some people had an issue with the game ‘Spore’ because it includes religion. I think as games mirror the real-world more and more, it’s impossible to avoid taking-sides or editorializing. Even the game ‘Civilization’ included religion. The problem is that you can’t give religion a role without [...]
Hamas TV: Jews (Not Nazis) Carried Out the Holocaust

Lovely. The Satanic Jews thought up an evil plot [the Holocaust] to be rid of the burden of disabled and handicapped, in twisted criminal ways. While they accuse the Nazis or others, so the Jews would seem persecuted, and try to benefit from international sympathy…
Right-wing Spin and John Freshwater

If you read atheist’s blogs, you probably already know about John Freshwater. From wikipedia: The local school board voted to dismiss Freshwater in June because “Freshwater preached his Christian beliefs about how the world began, discredited evolution and didn’t teach the required science curriculum, the board says. He was told to stop teaching creationism and [...]
CounterApologetics: DonExodus2
Posted in ChristianApologetics, Christianity on August 4, 2008 | 6 Comments »
DonExodus2 is a YouTube user who does a lot of evolution videos. They’re pretty good stuff, and I heard about his videos via thunderf00t (who created the “Why People Laugh at Creationists” series). Recently, he posted a video about why he’s a Christian. In the evolution battle, I think it’s important to have Christians on [...]
Where is the Love?

I just found this amusing. Some of the categories on his poster just confuse me though. “Computer Freaks”? I’m not even sure what “Ankle Biters” are. None of the definitions in UrbanDictionary make sense. Maybe he really hates small dogs? Does he just hate the “Child Molesting Homosexuals”, or all Child Molesters?
