The Discovery Institute On The Rack

Had to post this.
This is an extract of an open letter to the Stephen Meyer of the “Discovery Institute”, that hotbed of creationist double-non-think, from reformed Christian Steve Matheson who is an Associate Professor of Biology at Calvin College, Michigan, USA.
It had me laughing out loud at his rapier-like wit. It’s fantastic stuff :
Your Discovery Institute is a [...] [...]

Nine Lessons and Carols for Godless People

Hammersmith Apollo 20th December 2009

Winchester Skeptics In The Pub

[ Thu 28 Jan 10; 19:30 to 22:30. ] Okie cokie. After a long assessment and selection process to find the best venue for the StiP meetings we finally chose the place with the best beer. No that’s not right. This is a skeptics society. Try again. *clears throat* We finally chose the place with the best beer. Umm. Might need to reassess this.
