12.09.09Kent Hovind Dissertation LeakedKent Hovind (a.k.a. Dr. Dino *vomit*) went to Patriot Bible "University" (quotes my own). Patriot Bible University is an unaccredited fundamentalist Christian correspondence school and is most likely a diploma mill. Kent Hovind got his degree from this "school" and wrote a dissertation while there. Normally dissertations are open to the public once published, but this was not the case with Hovind's diploma. Hovind did not want his diploma available for the public to scrutinize it.Why? Probably because it shows "Dr." Hovind's lack of basic scientific knowledge and all around ignorance. Though, we don't really need to read his dissertation ...

12.08.09Two more BASS mentionsBecause of our encounter last month with Ray Comfort, BASS got two more mentions in the news, one from secularist news and one from Christian news.

11.22.09Yet another report on Ray Comfort and Kirk CameronYes, it's yet another report on Ray Comfort and Kirk Cameron. Delayed, because I'm perpetually busy. Here's what happened. We knew for a long time that Ray Comfort was planning to distribute the books on the 19th of November. But on the morning of the 18th, I woke up and read this: Ray has a change in plans. Ray Comfort announced the morning of that he was coming in a day early! So we had to change our plans too. The original plan was to have volunteers hand out counter-flyers and bookmarks from the NCSE, while simultaneously holding a table on ...

11.19.09Nazis, Darwin, and Living a Good LifeWell, in an not entirely unexpected move, Ray Comfort and his creationist cadre moved up the day where they were to distribute their own corrupted version of Charles Darwins On the Origin of Species with a 59 page unnoted garbage introduction regurgitating tired disproved creationist arguments of irreducible complexity and claims that Darwin played a pivotal role in Nazi Germany, despite obvious evidence that it was banned under Die Bucherei von 1935 (The Library of 1935): Quote:6. Schriften weltanschaulichen und lebenskundlichen Charakters, deren Inhalt die falsche naturwissenschaftliche Aufklaerung eines primitiven Darwinismus und Monismus ist (Haeckel). Translation: Quote:6. Writings of world natured and living-oriented ...
