I’ve blogged on this prior, but I think a reminder is needed and this is surely a valid one. Before I said we shouldn’t allow “Academic Freedom” in form of criticizing evolutionary theory in classes. I also said why, but apparently it’s not clear enough that people would understand. Or maybe they do — and [...]

Everyone had said Expelled was THE film. The creationists said this would defeat “Darwinism” and the Disco Tute banked on it. What they didn’t bet on was the legions of smart people who would step up to the plate to say it was nonsense. I even know creationists who believe what the film has done [...]
Gigantic Fairytale
Posted in Uncategorized on April 25, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
It was said on a billboard that all religions are fairytales. This, apparently, offended a ton of people and easter business fell. I found this quite interesting, so my first response to religious bulletins on the social networking sites like MySpace happens to be “sounds like a fairytale” or whatever.
I was on my nephew’s MySpace [...]

Dallas Ellis, who two months ago stood up and gave an awesome example of evolution, is clearly one of the finest minds of our time. Of course oranges are related to us! Of course that orange is someone’s pet’s mother!
Or not.
The sheer ignorance in his argument is enough to make me [...]

Recently a user who identified as a hardcore Christian (6000 year old Earth, literal Bible, evolution disbelief) posted two comments here. As all of the comments posted here have to be moderated, I debated myself for a few minutes before deciding to not let them pass.
Why I did this was rather complicated. If my blog [...]

I tried to think of a better title. I really, really did. But after such a victorious battle against creationism today (this blog destroyed all personal barriers with 370 hits, compared to 90 hits of my previous record), something had to ruin it.
That something would be my mom.
Being under the age of 18, I still [...]
A Fundamental Problem

I didn’t see Expelled as yet. Even though that gives me no permission to review the internal aspects of the film, aside from what has been released to me from others who have seen it, I can point out some things about the film itself, as well as creationism, that are a bit off to [...]
I’ve been misled: I thought Expelled was about Science? (YouTube Commentary)
Posted in Atheism, Skepticism, neo-creationism, science on April 16, 2008 | 2 Comments »
From this YouTube trailer of Expelled, we can see that Expelled may not be about science and scientific reasoning after all:
When I was younger I used to believe in Creation and Evolution. But now I know the truth. I’m a Creationist now, that is a Young Earth Creationist. I’m majoring in Biology right now because [...]
It’s now Wednesday

Since today is Wednesday, April 16th, Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed hits theaters in two days. Oh my, yes! Two days!
I’m sure you all know about the movie filled with scientific inaccuracies and nonsense, so we’ll cut that out of the picture for a while.
Expelled. Exposed.

Expelled. It’s been Exposed.
OK, sort of.
Expelled Exposed has the aim to (what else?) expose the lies and propaganda in Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed. Now, even though the pro-neo-creationism slurs on evolution are the biggest focal point, I’d like to point out that it’s more important to expose their general nonsense: not allowing scientists to see [...]
