Creationism is bad religion

Mar 27, 2009
It’s dead obvious that creationism isn’t science, or even bad science. It’s nonsense. But I’ve long stated it’s also bad religion, because it doesn’t just take faith, it also takes a...

Is Canada's Science Minister a creationist?

Mar 17, 2009
The Canadian newspaper Globe and Mail is reporting that Gary Goodyear, the federal Minister of State for Science and Technology in Canada, may not believe in evolution. The situation is somewhat...

47% of Americans need to be launched into a heliocentric orbit

Mar 13, 2009
Sigh. I should be surprised by stuff like this, but the most damning thing about it is that I’m not surprised. Only 53% of adult Americans know it takes the Earth a year to go around the Sun....

More on McCain and antiscience pandering

Mar 9, 2009
The post I made last week about McCain being antiscience has made quite a splash, more than I expected (and I expected quite a bit). As usual when I post on politics I have been lauded as a voice...

Nov 22, 2009

Enceladus update

Nov 22, 2009
Just a quick note: Emily, at The Planetary Society Blog, just posted a way cool mosaic made up of four pictures from Cassini showing the Enceladus icescape. I love the perspective on it, and how you can tell you’re looking down on the tiny moon from an...

Midwest megameteor makes media madness

Nov 22, 2009
By now you’ve probably heard of the extremely bright fireball over Utah last Wednesday, proving once again that really cool stuff happens when I’m on travel and can’t write about it. Worse, it was seen from Denver, which means I might’ve had a shot at...

LHC: Beams back in business!

Nov 21, 2009
Yesterday, the Large Hadron Collider once again had a beam of protons whizzing around its 27 km-long circumference! After a series of setbacks — some devastating, holding up the world’s largest scientific experiment for many months — this milestone...

Cassini buzzes Enceladus once again

Nov 21, 2009
On November 20, 2009, the Cassini spacecraft buzzed the surface of Saturn’s icy moon Enceladus once again, returning dramatic images of its water geysers and wrinkled, ridged surface: That raw image (which means it has not been processed to remove...
