It also led me to another <a href="http://dangerousintersection.org/2008/01/11/counterknowledge-and-the-web/" title="DI examines CounterKnowledge" rel="nofollow">counterknowledge</a> website: AllAboutScience.org has a "theological implications" section for every (usually mis-represented) fragment of scientific discovery that it covers. Pun intended. GodTube is full of excerpts from Expelled.

It never ceases to amaze me how many people believe they speak for the god that supposedly created them and who, one would think, wouldn't need their help in getting the message out. Reminds me of an essay I wrote about the god-who-plays-telephone: http://dangerousintersection.org/2006/07/31/why-is-there-no-book-of-jesus-in-the-bible/. Oh, my goodness, *godtube*!?

Dan. . .you have no idea how long I wrestled over whether to leave that little pun. In the end, I just couldn't resist. I love hearing a good groan. grumpypilgrim, they now have godtube, don’t visit unless your irony meter is in full working condition.

In fact, now that you mention it, there seem to be many amusing creationist videos on youtube. They can't get anywhere in science class, so apparently the Web is their choice of platform.

It’s tongue in cheek, obviously - this guy has a very dry wit.

I can almost imagine those poor, unfortunate T.Rexs all starving to death because their Intelligent Designer gave them arms that were too short. I keep wondering why 99% of all the species that have ever lived on earth are extinct now, if they were all designed by an Intelligent Designer. Killed in a global flood, I suppose the creationists would say, despite the fact that floods don't stratify corpses the way we find them in the fossil record. Floods stratify based on size, but the fossil record isn't sorted that way anywhere on earth. Good one, Alison!

Thank you, religious right, you just tossed us back a few decades in teaching.

Rexes ate coconuts. I'm guessing that's why they died out - coconuts roll around, and the T. Rex couldn't hold them in its tiny front feet and get them to his mouth. What a way to go!
