Intelligent Design Postings
Over at UncommonDescent, I have a post establishing the link between evolution and abiogenesis and also a parody of the people who complain about a "God of the gaps".
Apparently, reductionism makes you less than sane. At what point of denying reality do we get to call in the people in the white coats?

The Cobb County Sticker
Edward Sisson has written a great review of the Cobb County case. It makes numerous excellent points, including:
The fact that all available textbooks teach evolution, and that the Cobb County school board chose the most hard-line pro-evolution text, and chose to include that evolution material in the curriculum, clearly communicates to those who endorse evolution that they have become the dominant political insiders, and the Sticker merely shows that they do not have absolute monopoly control – yet.
It is deeply disturbing that the trial court felt that failure to give the pro-evolution side absolute monopoly control was equal to sending a message to the pro-evolution side that they are “political outsiders.” Nonsense. Denying someone monopoly control of an issue is not the same as declaring that person a political outsider on that issue. That the trial court could judge such a record to have such an effect bespeaks an extreme bias.
