Evolving an eye

Props to Mitt Romney
via Cosmic Variance by Julianne on May 09, 2008
... — to prohibit certain less-favored strains of conscience — it may be the non-believer who is among the first to be condemned. A coercive monopoly of belief threatens everyone, whether we are talking about those who search the philosophies of men or follow the words of God.We are all in this together. Religious liberty and liberality of thought flow from the common conviction that it is fr...

Scientists Know Better Than You--Even When They're Wrong [Features]
via Scientific American by (author unknown) on May 09, 2008
If you take scientists at their word, human-induced climate change is well underway, evolution accounts for the diversity of life on Earth and vaccines do not cause autism. But the collective expertise of thousands of researchers barely registers with global warming skeptics, creationist movie producers and distrustful parents.

via cephyn by cephyn on May 09, 2008
