I was just watching this funny Youtube video when my mind wandered a little and a few random thoughts connected themselves.

Intelligent Design, or Plagiarism?
Wednesday, February 17th, 2010Intelligent 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.
Breaking 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?
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.
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!
Death threats sent to Colorado scientists
Monday, March 16th, 2009It appears that some evolutionary biologists at the University of Colorado have been receiving death threats from some religious nutter. Apparently, which ever coward is issuing these threats, is so insecure in their own beliefs that they think that someone unrelated to their every day lives working in a field of science is so absolutely evil that they should die!
Intellectual Honesty?
Tuesday, March 3rd, 2009It is surely incumbent upon us all to be intellectually honest about the things we believe in – even if it is only to ourselves. Even our most centrally held beliefs must be available for inspection, and subject to alteration if for instance new evidence surfaces that makes the belief no longer tenable.
Science and Religion
Monday, March 2nd, 2009Reading the results of the survey linked in my previous article I was astounded with the apparent lack of understanding of the validity of science and the discoveries and theories that have resulted. The survey showed that there were not only a significant number of people that believed that evolution hadn’t been proved beyond a reasonable doubt, but there were also some who believed that the evidence had in fact disproved evolution.
