While SWOTVAC (a.k.a. ‘almost exams’) is on, I have very little blogging time. As such, I’ve set up a few reposts of older pieces that recent readers may not have seen before.

Taking on the old Creationist chestnut that ‘a watch requires a watchmaker’ this guy deconstructs the assumptions in the argument, takes them out of the [...]

Personally, I’d like to believe that such silliness as Creationism has found no place in the Australian education system — unfortunately, I’ve always known that in some places (particularly up north — you know which north I’m talking about) it has weaned its way into the curriculum of various schools.

…and I like it! To serve the dual purpose of ridiculing Idiots in Genesis’ latest brainfart and as a project for Blog Against Theocracy (April 2-4) Bing wants to do a showcase of people standing on bibles.
