The Sunday Times has an article today saying that some of todays teenage psycopaths may be finding justification for their actions in the theories of Darwin. CharlesDarwin and the children of the evolution - Times Online On the day of the columbine massacre, Eric Harris wore a "natural selection" T shirt. In his video diaries Harris and his friend Dylan Klebold, made remarks about...

... "Galapagos at the Crossroads: Pirates, Biologists, Tourists and Creationists Battle for Darwin's Cradle of Evolution," and it's a fantastic tutorial for anyone curious about the natural and human health of the island state today. I was particularly curious about her reportage on Darwin's initial reaction to the islands that will forever be linked with his theory of evolution....

TITLE: Rescuing Darwin AUTHOR: Paul Fayter SOURCE: The United Church Observer SUMMARY: Ever since the Origin of Species was first published 150 years ago, scientists and creationists have tried to spin the religious views of CharlesDarwin their way. COMMENTARY: This article by Paul Fayter (appearing on a website sponsored by The United Church Observer , a Christian organization)...
One advantage of a highly flexible schedule (*ahem, and I'm trying to change that*) is getting to the amount of things that happen during the day around here. For example, yesterday I went to the John Hope Franklin Center for a talk on The Struggle to Picture Evolution: Darwin and Visual Media by Iain McCalman as a precursor to today and tomorrow's symposium Darwin Across The Disciplines...
ay Comfort and his side-kick Kirk Cameron recently published a heavily edited version of CharlesDarwin’s ‘On the origin of species’ which contained an introduction that accused Darwin of fathering Naziism. AIGBusted has done some digging into Comfort and Cameron’s creationist screed and discovered some considerable evidence of plagiarism. Read more: aigbusted.blogspot.com...
Genetic analysis of the now-extinct Falkland Islands Wolf has answered a biological riddle that caught the attention of a young CharlesDarwin, and helped shape his understanding of evolution. During his voyage aboard the HMS Beagle, Darwin observed that the wolves — like his now-famous finches — varied widely in size between different islands, suggesting that [...]...
Patrick gives a brief review of an excellent book about one of CharlesDarwin's greatest son, China's Mao Zedong. Whilst we know much about the Nazis and their death camps, we seldom hear anything of the communist death cambers, whether in China or Russia. Anyone who is contemplating becoming a communist, should see this video. Beck Uncovers Video of Obama Communications Director Adoring...
I was reading one of my favorite websites today and an entry about the stupidifying of science caught my attention. Creationists are removing sections of the paradigm shifting work of CharlesDarwin, changing the content and prefacing it with their own brand of wingnuttery. Doublethinking works of art or science that are in the public domain in order to make them a part of a cherry-picked...
... is wrong. According to a presentation held Tuesday at West Virginia University, evolutionist CharlesDarwin did not know geology, biology, or Jesus. Dr. Robert Carter, has a doctorate in marine biology and is currently the head speaker and scientist for Creation Ministries International (USA) in Atlanta, Ga., gave a presentation listing in detail what Darwin did not know at...
I watched the first part last night on The Nature of Things with David Suzuki. It was pretty good, although the emphasis on how Darwin was afraid to discuss his ideas got a bit tedious.I'm also skeptical about the film's claim that evolution caused Darwin to abandon religion. It's worth remembering that his father (Robert) and his grandfather (Erasmus) were well-known skeptics about...
