The Political Strength of Creationism, part 1: Rick Perry, PZ Myers, and Fox News
Let’s start with a Fox News poll and see how far it takes us. Listen much to secular scientists or liberal theologians, and you will often hear creationists decried as a embattled minority, that tiny few who still don’t ‘get it’. Creationist writers themselves often give the impression that in a world that has been [...]

the sort of history book i’d like to see
I’ve got an image in my head of the sort of online history-book I’d like to see. It would start out with a table of contents, rather simple, with a short description of what’s going on in each major section of the book.

fun with samuel blumenfeld and creationism
I recently discovered the educational-related articles of Samuel Blumenfeld, a proponent of teaching reading with old-style phonics and an opponent of secular schooling. He’s been great fun. He’s quite at home discussing the nature of public schooling and the philosophies that have driven its architects. One of the themes that appears repeatedly in his essays [...]

evolutionary psychology and folk economics
Toban Wiebe uses the traditional evolutionary theory of human origins to explain whence came the odd set of biases that he collectively refers to as “folk economics,” and which are provide an endless font of ignorance for economists to try to stem.

Was creationism recently invented?
Christianity always has been and always must be influenced to some extent by traditionalism–the goal of preserving the traditions handed down from the past. Even if the excessive traditionalism which attaches far too much significance to human development is drastically cut back and the Bible is (as it rightly should be) considered the final standard [...]
