Link-o-rama
Jay is out of town for the week, so I'm wallowing in crapulence. I can't be bothered with creating witty content: Have some links instead.
An addictive little game which tests your spatial relation skills. Ridiculously hard trivia questions. (I'm looking at you, Carrie.) Richard Dawkins, an Oxford professor, takes a swing at intelligent Design. This article is soooo worth reading, if only for the final quote: You don't know how the nerve impulse works? Good! You don't understand how memories are laid down in the brain? Excellent! Is photosynthesis a bafflingly complex process? Wonderful! Please don't go to work on the problem, just give up, and appeal to God. Dear scientist, don't work on your mysteries. Bring us your mysteries for we can use them. Don't squander precious ignorance by researching it away. Ignorance is God's gift to Kansas. On a related note, 15 Answers to Creationist Nonsense is also worth a look. A new implant for depression? It might help people, but it does seem a little odd. Who would Jesus bomb? These guys probably know. |
