Teacher Fail

Friday, May 14, 2010

8 Comments

Here’s a clip from a BBC documentary “Science Friction” which aired back in 96. As you can see, very little has changed or improved since that time. Ignorant jackasses like Joe Wilkey still think that they have some sort of powerful insight about creationism that justifies their literal interpretation of mythology. Never mind the fact [...]

GOP candidate defends his creationist beliefs

Thursday, May 13, 2010

4 Comments

What’s wrong with this particular story: a GOP candidate gets “accused” of supporting the teaching of evolution in classrooms, and of saying that the Bible is not the infallible word of God, and his reaction to the ad is to re-affirm his commitment to the idea that the Earth is only 6000 years old. As a [...]

Calamities of Nature

Thursday, April 29, 2010

A fan of the site (they exists apparently) sent me a link to this webcomic, Calamities of Nature,  and I thought that some of them had some pretty genuinely funny and interesting points to make about religion, the Pope, and creationism. I feel as though the character of Aaron has a lot in common with [...]

World Nut Daily does it again

Thursday, April 15, 2010

Do you not rejoice at the endless display of insanity that is the World Net Daily? I am utterly in awe of this website’s ability to draw such a huge audience, while simultaneously being one of the ugliest, more poorly presented idiot “news” sites on the planet. It looks like the late 90’s puked all [...]

Why journalists can’t help but put “evolution is wrong” in their headlines

Tuesday, March 23, 2010

3 Comments

I regularly read “The Gaurdian”. They normally have a pretty decent science coverage, but the latest article entitled “Why everything you know about evolution is wrong” outraged me enough that I felt the need to talk about it. The article starts simply enough, referring to the burgeoning science of epigenetics, and how some researchers are [...]

The Good Atheist Podcast: Bonus Show 44

Welcome back to another episode of the Good Atheist bonus podcast. This week I have a special guest: a TGA fan from Calgary called Brock Roberts. I invite him to talk about how he became an atheist, why creationism is nonsense, and why young people need to take more control in politics.  I decided to make this [...]

Teach the Controversy

Monday, February 15, 2010

3 Comments

Here’s a great video from Atheist Cartoons showing just how ridiculous the notion of “teach the controversy” really is. If every bullshit controversy was allowed to be part of a school curriculum, there would be no end to the nonsense kids would be exposed to. If you want to try and teach your kids the [...]

Smithsonian gives shitty creationist movie the boot

Wednesday, December 30, 2009

5 Comments

The more evidence we gather showing the truth about evolution, the more vitriolic creationists get. Recently they tried to sneak a shitty “documentary” called Darwin’s Dilemma into the Smithsonian’s IMAX theater, but they were smacked down when the California Science Center used a special clause in the contract to cancel their engagement. The Discovery Institute [...]

Welcome back to another episode of TGA’s Bonus podcast. This week, Ryan and I discuss the rise of creationism around the world, the genetic component of homosexuality, and why my cheesy radio voice is awesome! It’s an extra long episode to make up for our spotty updating, so enjoy. Remember, this show is for patrons only, [...]

Majority of Britons want creationism taught in schools (WTF???)

Sunday, October 25, 2009

45 Comments

I’m frustrated this morning. I just finished reading this article, and I have to admit that I’m very disappointed in our Commonwealth Big Brother. A recent poll indicates that more than half of Britons support the teaching of both creationism and evolution in schools. That’s actually more than their American counterparts. You guys are officially [...]
