thanks so much to everyone who took the time to comment as a result of my request to do so last week. i really appreciate it. i wanted to make sure that the time i take each week to put together this series was well spent, that people were actually getting something out of the series, and boy did you guys let me know!
thanks again!
Spartanburg, South Carolina councilwoman Linda Dogan's filthy hate speech against GLBT's comes from her love of her god.
Phil Plait posted a cool link to a site that allows you to zoom around a huge image of one of the moon's craters. this thing is bigger than the state of Colorado and the object that caused the crater was 1000 more massive than the object that took out the dinosaurs. holy crap.
Joe Szostak is working on creating life from scratch for the first time in 3.5 billion years.
the New Horizons probe is halfway to Pluto(!) and is out of hibernation for a brief period in order test its instruments.
despite recent attempts to portray scientists as less godless than traditionally understood, Russell Blackford explains that scientists are precisely as godless as we think they are.
Luke at CSA points out that when it comes to searching for the truth the biggest obstacle is yourself.
how to find more money for biomedical research? easy. de-fund pseudoscientific nonsense.
we're all born atheists- a religious person defends non-belief.
appeals to common practice don't make science and religion compatible.
Carl Zimmer on epigenetics: the brain- the switches that can turn mental illness on and off.
researchers find the oldest known mammalian bite marks in a 75 million year old dinosaur bone.
insect altruism, no god required. suicidal aphids save their colony by sticking themselves to predators.
the climate change deniers are all aflutter this week with news that Mike Hulme of the IPCC says that the consensus on global warming is fake, except he said no such thing.
the American Academy for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) has gone accommodationist.
the illusion of moral guidance from god.
the Catholic Church is facing accusations of theft and opaque accounting in Germany.
the Mormon Church: guilty of ethical failure. the fine for their failure: $5538
particle physicists wonder, are there 5 Higgs Bosons instead of 1?
Prince Charles' recent sinister speech attacks science and good sense.
mongoose traditions shed light on the evolution of human culture.
six new exoplanets have been discovered.
a vast ocean may have once covered one-third of the primordial Mars.
thanks again!

Thanks for the sunday school, Nelson. What makes it even better - I don't have to fear being molested here!

@Jānis - I dunno... can we really be sure about Nelson's intent? Maybe he's posting all this stuff we like just to groom us.

Yeah, but I'm still not concerned - luckily, I'm not attractive enough to warrant flying over the Atlantic when Nelson has you on the same side of the pond.

lol Jānis. that reminds me of that old joke. when you and a friend are faced with an angry bear in the woods you needn't outrun the bear, you need only outrun your friend. :)

And that's why you need to be friends with slow people.

Thanks for all the great articles. I don't know which one I liked the best or worst. I hated the religious person talking about atheist. Now I know why I don't want ministers on my side. I want them to damn me to hell. Because, when they like me I tend to put my hand over my wallet. A minister told me religion is all about money. He lost his job because he couldn't get enough money from his flock. When he looked at someone, his only thought was how much money could he get out of them. I rant, sorry. I love the view of Mars. Prince Charles and Linda Dogan are dickheads. Because of funding, many scientist have to say religion and science are incompatible maybe.
