Oh, oh – I know the answer to that question! Unfortunately, the 2012 mania is already in swing. I happened to stumble onto this movie preview the other day (put out by the appropriately named “the disinformation company”): Another video about the same movie here. Seems to follow the same pattern set down by “What [...]

This is pretty funny – and unexpected.
The “Handbook of Personal Evangelism”
Posted in ChristianApologetics, Stupidity on December 25, 2008 | 14 Comments »
Every once in a while I stumble on some funny Christian apologetics. The most recent one was an online book titled the “Handbook of Personal Evangelism“. It has 23 chapters of delightful non-sequiturs and bad logic. Some of my favorite arguments: Below are reasons we believe in God: … 3. A person who doesn’t believe [...]
Human 46/48 Chromosome Fusion and Google
Posted in Creationism, Evolution on December 22, 2008 | 17 Comments »
Want to hear something depressing? Type this into google: “humans apes 46 48 chromosomes”. If you’re knowledgeable about biology, you know that humans have 46 chromosomes, while gorillas, chimps and orangutans have 48. Further, human chromosome #2 looks very much like two chromosomes have fused together into one — neatly explaining where the “missing” chromosome [...]
Anti-Vaxers on This American Life
Posted in Anti-Vaxers, Science, Stupidity on December 22, 2008 | 5 Comments »
The latest This American Life has an interesting little story on some anti-vaccination parents – and what happened when measles spread through the community. (It starts at 14 minutes into the episode and is 22 minutes long.) I haven’t really delved much into the anti-vaccination movement, though I hear other skeptics talk about it. It [...]

Bill O’Reilly and the War on Christmas
Posted in Atheism, Media on December 10, 2008 | 4 Comments »
I’ve been seeing this story around on some blogs lately: While I agree with the right of atheists to have their freedom of speech, and that Christians shouldn’t get a monopoly over government buildings, I actually disagree with doing this. The main problem is: what’s the point in putting up the sign, other than to [...]
Bird Brains
Posted in Animal Intelligence on December 10, 2008 | 1 Comment »
I’m often surprised by the intelligence of birds. They have such small brains, but can be surprisingly smart. My guess is that evolutionary pressures increased their brain power while under the constraint of having a lightweight brain (so it could still fly). It makes me think that maybe birds have more powerful brains per pound [...]
