creationists

Ben Carson is a Creationist During the last debate, I actually developed a bit of respect for Ben Carson after he corrected Trump about how vaccines cause autism. He was one of the few national Republicans that I had seen lately who at least has some public respect for the scientific process...

I found a website linked to the Wikipdia article on the McLean Vs. Arkansas trial that was trying to ensure that the (surviving) testimony given at that trial was preserved and disseminated. The link is below: http://www.antievolution.org/projects/mclean/new_site/index.htm This exchange...

From Pensacola News Journal:

Our local NPR affiliate dropped PRI's "The World" so I've been downloading the podcasts and listening during my commute. The episode I listened to today had an article on a Turkish media personality and apparent cult leader named Adnan Oktar. He has his own TV channel, much like Western TV...

I'd recently learned that Creationists were funding expeditions to Africa searching for dinosaurs to disprove the theory of evolution. It would appear that it is not just sauropods (Mokele Mbembe) that are in their sights...

Quotes from a show hosted by Eric Hovind, son of creationist Kent Hovind. On dinosaurs: On UFOs: Quotes from transcript

Linky The state of Texas may not be as lame as originally feared. The Institute for Creation Research decided to move to Texas, but Texas denied their accreditation to grant masters degrees. The ICR appealed but the court smacked them down. Sounds like they hired Orly Taitz to write their...

There seems to be a creationist debate brewing in the "Your Letters" section of my local paper. I first noticed it about a month ago, and was tempted to send in a response, but decided it wasn't worth the effort. I don't usually read the letters section, but I was flicking through last...

Okay, I'm not going to pretend I found this one on my own-- the credit goes to someone in our Nashville Atheists Group! ;) But... wow. I mean, I've seen some bad creationist vids, but this one is a truly shining example. From the bad camera work to the officious expert to the unspeakably...

Kevin Miller, one of the writers of Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed, has penned a new movie and its scheduled for production next year: Source: Press release How inaccuarate is this movie going to be if the press release falsely implies Hovind taught biology and has a PhD? The man "taught"...

This is an anti-evolution website, but it has the puff piece intervew in a simple and accessable form. http://www.evolutionnews.org/2009/05/errors_in_biology_textbooks_ca.html I'm still waiting for any C/IDer who make the claim that Haekel's embryos are still being used, unvarnished, as...

To quote from the opening paragraph: ***************** Every winter, David DeWitt takes his biology class to the Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History, but for a purpose far different from that of other professors. DeWitt brings his Advanced Creation Studies class (CRST 390, Origins)...

Darwin at 200: A Liberator Like Lincoln by Edward Hudgins February 12, 2009 -- Of the two famous men born on February 12, 1809, Abraham Lincoln is the one known as a political liberator. But the other man, Charles Darwin, also deserves recognition on the bicentennial of his birth for his own...

Maybe this should be in SMMT: http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2009/jan/27/david-attenborough-science

I just wanted to post an interesting piece from the news about John Freshwater: Source this is from today Source He's been teaching creationism in science class for over 20 years and school adminstrators waited until he burned a student to take action? Those adminstrators should be held...

It appears that the prominent Islamic creationist Adnan Oktar (Harun Yahya) has been sentenced to three years in prison for "creating an illegal organization for personal gain".

This'll end well, I'm sure: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080209/ap_on_re_eu/europe_evolution_under_attack

Oo boy. I wonder what part of the bible says Uranus has a magnetic field... Not only that but the basic premise is wrong. We still haven't ruled out life on other planets in this solar system. PS. Please put this in the appropriate section if this doesn't belong in the science section.

A year or two ago I posted a thread about a local Dallas talk radio host who happened to be a fairly devout Christian that ambushed and absolutely devestated John Edward when he had him on as a guest. Quite a number of JREFers took it upon themselves to contact him with kudos. I'm hoping to...

I've read creationist posts that say that true blue scientists are actually pushing creationism as an actual scientific explanation as to how the earth was formed and how living things came about. I mean did these so called scientists go to university and take the courses and get an actual...

I found this post by a guy who constantly talks about flood models, YECs doing science and peer review and he has no idea how out his ass he's talking when he does this, but he finally posted a series of links to IRC pages concerning "flood modeling" and I was wondering of the physicists...

Ray Comfort, church minister/Kirk Cameron's sidekick, has pulled a Kent Hovind. Hovind used to offer $250,000 for proof of evolution, but he is behind bars for the next 10 years for obstruction of justice and 57 other felonies. It appears Comfort has taken up the reins for creationist...

These fundamental/pentecostal scum have finally crossed the line. From now on, it's all-out war against fundamental christianity! My daughter, who is seven, is in year 4 at her local school. The school allows religious education one morning a week, which she obviously doesn't attend. Last week...

I found these videos entitled "Challenge to Atheists" that supposedly demonstrate why evolutionary theory is wrong. There's one about a turkey-like bird from Australia, One about dolphins , and giraffes. There's probably more but these will give you an idea of what they are like. Comments?

"The sun stays in the sky instead of falling down. Gravity should be pulling it down but it just stays right up there." "Gravity: Doesn't exist. If items of mass had any impact of others, then mountains should have people orbiting them. Or the space shuttle in space should have the astronauts...

Eric Hovind, Kent Hovind's son, is trying to continue the lies and business (I say business because it is not a registered church or non-profit) that is Creation Science Evangelism. Since the elder is in the big house, Eric is trying to earn the cash. Like his dad, Eric attended a unaccredited...

My understanding is that most creationists will claim that we are Yahweh's special creation, we are the only intelligent life in the universe, etc. (If you don't believe this, then you can ignore this thread as it doesn't apply to you.) If this is the case, then why would Yahweh have created...

Gleened from other forums: Memo: Stop teaching evolution If any of you are interested in contacting Rep. Chisum. His e-mail is on his webpage And while I'm at it, here's Ben Bridges bio. Lots of stuff about being a state trooper, not much about being a kook. Google for external comments.

There's a story in the NY Times today about a geology PhD student who has done a "legit" science dissertation to get the creditials to push young-earth Creationism...
