Then Why Are There Still Humans?
I’m busy today, so I don’t have time to put together the Darwin Day post that I’d like to. In the meantime here’s another Creationism card. I’m starting to get an idea of how a game would work, so tentatively there might be more cards up and a working game for the next Darwin Day.
One reason I’m slightly rushed is that I spent time catching up on Origins Revisited, a Radio 4 series looking at the updated evidence for Human evolution. You can listen to all three programmes via the archive.

Douglas inspires

Often the delete key is my friend. A thousand word post has disappeared. I was going to post a response to someone else’s post, and use this video of Douglas Adams as an example of positive atheism. I’m tired of yet another post from someone who says “I’m an atheist, but you mustn’t talk about

“When one considers that Wagner’s father died of typhoid just six months after the future composer’s birth, it is no exaggeration to say that it is likely that Richard Wagner’s contribution to music would not have occurred without the homeopathic treatment he received.” Dana Ullman – 19th century geniuses who loved homeopathy This is an
Astrology in the Infinite Monkey Cage
about 8 months ago - 2 comments
The Infinite Monkey Cage tackled astrology this week, amongst other things. Ben Miller visited to Jonathan Cainer, astrologer extraordinaire, to see how astrology works. This seems to have come as a shock to Prof. Brian Cox who doesn’t think that it works. Ben Miller, who was ABD in Physics, argued it did work. For Ben

This will be the last climate change post of the year. The reason it’s going up is because while I was writing tomorrow’s entry. my RSS box pinged with this blog post from Ed Darrell, which is well worth reading. It’s a simple illustration of the use of double standards. Recently I commented on the
Science is interesting. If you don’t like it, it’s your problem not mine.

I’ll admit not everyone is interested in the world around them. Here’s a site I like, The Hall of Ma’at. I don’t read it as much as I’d like because my reading tends to be RSS based. Still, it means that when I do remember to visit their forum there’s plenty of interesting stuff. I’ve
Speculations on the sex of the Moon

I may be busy, but not too busy to point and laugh. You’ve probably seen this story in the Examiner about the Japanese crashing an orbiter into the Moon. If you haven’t then it’s Satya Harvey complaining that scientists will be penetrating a female moon without first asking her permission. Lots of people have found
Another Petition

This time in support of Simon Singh. I thought quite a bit before putting this up. While I support Simon Singh, I have doubts about Sense About Science. Sense About Science is loosely connected with Spiked Online through Living Marxism, which seems to think Christopher Monckton is a credible speaker on climate change. The climate

Alphologists at the University of Billund, Denmark have announced the discovery of the 27th letter of the English Alphabet. The letter, which has yet to be named, was uncovered during library renovations over the Easter Break. Professor Olaf Proil who identified the letter said the discovery was a complete surprise.
Question Two: What exactly do you mean by ‘accurate’?
about 2 years ago - Comments Off
I’m busy till the end of the month, so I won’t be blogging about these results yet. The irony is that the Aztec calendar was far, far more accurate than the classical Greek calendar which would only be accurate to plus or minus a month or two.

Alun, this is absolute genius. Hilarious. Please, keep going. I’d love to see what you come up with.
Oh, and thanks for the link to the Origins Revisited programs.
