One more evolution/science/creationism-related post before my mania subsides and I move on to other obsessions. Ny next post will be different. Honest.
First, go check out the Committee for the Scientific Investigation of Claims of the Paranormal On-Line. They've got a great page devoted to creationism and Intelligent Design titled Creation Watch. It is, simply put, a marvelous resource of essays and articles that effectively refute the falsehoods and deceptions of ID proponents, and also a compilation of links to stories currently in the news. There's a lot of good information and interesting reading here, and I encourage folks to check it out.
The other link I want to point out is Texas Citizens for Science. TCS is something of a grass-roots effort by Texans who are trying to keep Texas from going down the dark path of Kansas. With arch-conservative Republicans holding all the statewide offices in Texas, and their fundamentalist allies clamoring for religious concessions, things don't look too rosy. Fortunately, there are enough moderate Republicans and Democrats to prevent any major lunacy from taking hold. But any Texans concerned about the future of science education in our state should sign up for the TCS mailing list to know when action will be needed.
