Oh, no, wait, I read that wrong……. “Creationist Book Pops Up …. In Scotland…”

Remember Harun Yahya’s Atlas of Creation, the lavishly illustrated Islamic creationist book that first turned up in Turkey, then France and other European countries and prompted a disapproving resolution by the Council of Europe? It’s now being mailed to universities in ScotlandThe mysterious Istanbul writer Harun Yahya (actually Adnan Oktar) is clearly spending large amounts of money sending this unwelcome book around Europe. Where does he get it from?[source]

PZ Myers is not pulling punches with Expelled! and the enigmatically moronic producers of said movie.

This little video, very nicely done, should be shown in all social studies classes in America, discussed at length, and it should be on the exam. From now on.Source: Richarddawkins.netLord Privy Seals All The Way Down … arf arf.See also:PZ Myers Expelled, Gains SainthoodExpelled!

More links have been added to the ever growing sampling of commentary on the Myers-Dawkins Expelled-Gate Event.As e we move ever closer to the self destruction of the Intelligent Design Movement, I note that the Expelled Gate Even now is now competing for space in the Wikipedia Entry on Irony (but some help may be needed … there seems to be some creationists there erasing themselves whenever the evolutionists add them in).

There once was a librarian who was an absolute horror, a bitch, a true shit of a person. Her name was Nancy. No one liked her, she liked no one else. Her employees suffered greatly, and the only people who could work with her for more than a few months were Morris and Igor (assumed names) because they were like her.

That was what it was like every day working for her, but because she kept the library running very nicely, her superiors would not listen to the employees or anyone else, and she kept her stranglehold on that library and her stranglehold on the people who worked there for years and years and years.Then one day she accidentally called her boss’s wife a bitch while he was in ear shot.

The bills closely resemble a string of similar bills in Alabama — HB 391 and SB 336 in 2004; HB 352, SB 240, and HB 716 in 2005; HB 106 and SB 45 in 2006 — as well as a model bill that the Discovery Institute’s Center for Science and Culture, the institutional home of “intelligent design” creationism, recently began to promote. Asked by the Miami Herald (March 13, 2008) whether “intelligent design” constituted “scientific information” in the sense of the bill, a representative of the Discovery Institute equivocated, saying, “In my personal opinion, I think it does. But the intent of this bill is not to settle that question,” and adding, unhelpfully, “The intent of this bill is … it protects the ‘teaching of scientific information.'”
