1. 16% of US science teachers are creationists

Comment #182722 by William Wallace on May 20, 2008 at 10:41 pm

Well, you all should see how my son's first grade teacher created her own science warning label that stated "People who don't believe in the true God and creation make up these stories about our world. Christians believe in the true Creation".

2. Proving ID is Creationism

Andrew,

I agree with you.

Wow, Richard Dawkins dot net (didn't Richard Dawkins used to work at Berkley) coordinating with the NCSE. Say it isn't so...(and the NC"S"E claims they're not about atheism). LOL.

4. Dawkins warns of human extinction

What about people who believe the race of human beings may be about 6,000 years old? Nevermind.

Dr. Dawkins,

I am not sure if you're aware of this, but just in case you're not, Gerry Rzeppa, author of Some of the Parts, has issued a $64,000 challenge.

While you may not need the money, and while you may fear giving undue publicity to a relative unknown, $64,000 is a lot of money. Perhaps you could donate it to a charitable cause of your choice.

What I'd like to do is publicly challenge Richard Dawkins. I'd like to offer him $64,000 of my very own money if he will, at his convenience but face-to-face in a public forum, answer just one question regarding my little book. I'll read the book to the audience aloud, make a couple of remarks, and then ask the $64,000 mystery question.

In closing, I do have to say "good on you" Dr. Dawkins for not falling for the "Age of the Machine" video.

5. Beware the Believers

The funniest aspect of this is the fact that so many evolanders think the video is on their side.

Out of touch.

6. Lying for Jesus?

What did he think PZ would do, open fire with a Kalashnikov?

Well, maybe. From Get meaner, angrier, louder, fiercer:

The only appropriate response should involve some form of righteous fury, much butt-kicking, and the public firing of some teachers, many school board members, and vast numbers of sleazy, far-right politicians ... I say, screw the polite words and careful rhetoric. It's time for scientists to break out the steel-toed boots and brass knuckles, and get out there and hammer on the lunatics and idiots.

Thank you robotaholic, I just fixed the post.

Professor Dawkins,

A few points to clear up some of your confusion:

You should take a listen to National Public Radio's Intelligent Design and Academic Freedom

PZ Myers had promised to disrupt the showing back in August of 2007.

Of course you were recognized. Since you're not a "brass-knuckle" type, you were allowed in, as the New York Times piece indicates.

Incidentally, PZ Myers was gate crashing. If you'd like to clarify your and PZ's lies for Darwin, please do so here. Perhaps you could explain to your British readers why PZ RSVP'd to a private screening that he was not invited to attend.

By the way, one of the main contributors at Coincidence Theories, Gerry Rzeppa, would like to challenge you, if you're up for it.
