Just posting an image I found on the intertubes that every evolution denier really should see.

Wednesday, August 24th, 2011Intelligent Design, or Plagiarism?
Wednesday, February 17th, 2010I was just watching this funny Youtube video when my mind wandered a little and a few random thoughts connected themselves.
Intelligent Design video dissected
Sunday, January 31st, 2010A few days ago I stumbled upon a web site which linked a video titled “The Scientific Case for Intelligent Design – Darwinism Debunked“. I didn’t have the time to watch it then so I put the link aside. Today I had a quiet afternoon and so I watched it. Below are my notes dissecting the video as it went.
Anthropogenic Global Climate Change
Thursday, December 24th, 2009I’ve been trying to decide if I should post something about Global Warming (or Anthropogenic Global Climate Change AGCC – my preferred moniker) for a while now. Following a couple of posts by leading sceptic James Randi (see here and here) which cause a little bit of a storm amongst the sceptic community I thought I’d add my own twist on the matter (although I doubt it’ll cause even a ripple).
Creationism in UK education
Monday, November 2nd, 2009Breaking the Laws of Physics?
Tuesday, September 29th, 2009It’s quite common for Creotards and IDiots to argue that certain scientific theories break certain laws of physics. It’s an interesting attempt at an argument, using science to disprove science! 
The two of the most common ones used against evolution are the Second Law of Thermodynamics, and the Conservation of Angular Momentum.
Lets quickly have a poke and laugh at these shall we?
Inside Natures Giants
Tuesday, July 21st, 2009I’ve been watching Channel 4′s Inside Natures Giants. It’s a fascinating series where a team of experts dissect some of the largest creatures on the planet. They have tackled a Whale, and Elephant, a Crocodile, and a Giraffe. The dissections were all undertaken primarily to understand why the particular individual animal died, but it also allowed us to see some of the amazing evolutionary adaptations that allows the animals to be what they are.
Evolution Test
Thursday, July 9th, 2009Over at the Missing Universe Museum website (another Creation/ID website that can provide many many hours of entertainment) they have created an little Evolution Test which they propose students give to teachers to see how they react. As you can probably already imagine, the test is rather silly, and the questions posed are almost entirely ridiculous. However I (as a non educator and non scientist) shall attempt to provide at least reasonably accurate answers.
Evolution in 10 years!
Sunday, June 14th, 2009RIVERSIDE, Calif. – How fast can evolution take place? In just a few years, according to a new study on guppies led by UC Riverside’s Swanne Gordon, a graduate student in biology.
YouTube – “Discovery” Institute Caught Illegally Censoring Videos
Friday, June 12th, 2009YouTube – “Discovery” Institute Caught Illegally Censoring Videos.
What a surprise, the ‘Discovery Institute’ being dishonest, who would have thought it?

Is Atheism a Religion?
Tuesday, June 9th, 2009It’s an old question, and on the surface would seem easy to answer. As an Atheist, to me Atheism isn’t a religion.
But I also don’t think it is quite that simple.

Macro evolution Vs Micro evolution
Friday, May 29th, 2009It’s quite common whilst reading creationist material for them to state that they have no problem with the idea of Microevolution. They’re quite happy with the idea that any given species will have small variations over time – i.e. Darwin’s Finches. But creationists have a major problem with accepting that Micro evolution, plus lots (and lots) of time leads to Macroevolution. They state that it’s impossible for one species to evolve into another species, no matter how many small variations you come up with.
Top 10 newly discovered species unveiled
Wednesday, May 27th, 2009Top 10 newly discovered species unveiled – Telegraph.
Interesting list of new species that have now been examined, catalogued, and filed. It includes seahorses, snakes, fish, and a white slug. But the one that really caught my attention – Microbacterium hatanonis. A species of bacteria that lives on … Hairspray! OK creationists, explain that. If your God created all creatures pretty much in their final form in 6000BC, what has this one been doing until now? That’s one hell of a long time to fast while you’re waiting for your food to be invented.
Critical Thinking
Thursday, May 7th, 2009This Jesus and Mo comic made me giggle (as always), and spurred me into writing…
One of the big calls from the US Creationist and ID movements (although we all know they’re basically one and the same) is the idea that with Evolution you need to
Teach kids both sides of the argument, and let them decide. Present them with all the facts and use a process of critical analysis to come to your conclusion.
Now, on the surface of it that would seem a perfectly reasonable thing to do, which is precisely why CrIDiots™ use it. It does of course fall down in a couple of highly important respects.
Pure concentrated stupidity!
Thursday, April 2nd, 2009If you find yourself with about a month free, and feel like melting your brain, you could always pop over to http://www.jesus-is-savior.com – but I wouldn’t recommend it.
But when you start reading some of that massive content, that’s when the brain melt will set in. It’s just a constant barrage of idiotic drivel. The use of so many logical fallacies, over and over. The repeating of straw man arguments that have long since been torn down again and again. It’s a mark of a truly faith-based mind that it can still believe that any of this would still hold any weight. The only people that it could convince in any way are those that don’t need convincing in the first place. For those whose minds actually work properly we can see it for the brain fart that it actually is.
Now, I will grant the author one thing (and pretty much only one thing), it must have been a monumental labour of love to create the site. To be able to concentrate such huge amounts of inane, baseless, stupidity into one place… it’s almost a work of art!
