Sunday School AUG 22, 2010
Phil Plait's "Don't Be a Dick" speech is up on the web now and the atheosphere is buzzing about it. Phil himself posted a list of links to people who both agree and disagree with him. John Loftus commented as well. Alonzo Fyfe points out that Plait didn't ask the next question.
Victor Stenger's newest post is up at HuffPo. Jerry Coyne comments. also by Stenger, "absence of evidence IS evidence of absence."
gravitational lensing brings dark energy into focus.
why atheists should be feminists.
Luke at CommonSenseAtheism comments on the "ground zero mosque" controversy.
the evolutionary arms race between bats and moths.
not religious and still happy.
the genetic side to chimpanzee culture.
apparently the all-loving god has been allowing parasites to infect and control ants for at least 48 million years.
just how low can a black hole go?
the moon is shrinking.
back in the run-up to the 08 election there was some talk about young evangelicals being more willing to vote liberal in a break from the conservative republican block evangelicals are always associated with. new research, however, shows that young evangelicals, while more environmentally conscious are just as conservative.
Richard Dawkins' most recent documentary is raising questions about faith schools in Britain.
another pointless acupuncture study misinterpreted.
check out Gregory's Global Warming Denial video FAQ.
this apparently got posted to the New York Times last year during all the Darwin/Origin celebrations. it's an annotated copy of Origin of Species with the annotations coming from today's scientists in relevant fields. i missed it. maybe you did too.
the discovery of what is possibly the earliest animal life pushes back the fossil record.
Antarctic sea ice grows despite global warming but it won't last.
archaeologists in Belgium claim to have found the remains of John The Baptist but is it John The Baptist or John Doe?
on false claims of certainty.
what's next in the search for the Higgs?
the fate of Catholic Europe.
astronomer's priorities: dark energy, exoplanets, cosmic origins.
could thermodynamic fluctuations have led to the origins of life?
what does it mean for prayer to be untestable?
why atheists lose debates.
this is just the kind of thing i have in mind when i put together that informal bibliography of skepticism of religion.
creationists use "information" to refer to some sort of mystical thing that can only be produced by a designer. they just don't get it.

Thanks for posting the link to Richard Dawkins' programme ... Dear Husband and I 'had' to watch an excellent programme on The Normans which was on the other side and I've been moaning about it ever since ;)

Thanks Nelson! I'll be sure to get to these later (busy week ahead, but I already missed out on last week's SS and I refuse to do the same with this week's.) Happy Sunday!
