  1. The web has grown more in 2005 than it did at the height of the dotcom boom, says a study.
    Sooner or later this will have to level off. Here are the latest stats.
  2. Pa. Awaits Intelligent Design Ruling
    School have been allowed to teach the theory of evolution for decades. But lately the theory of intelligent design has been banned. How this isn’t indoctrination, I’ll never know. At least everyone is being civil about it, um scratch that… one professor was assaulted in Kansas for planning a course on the topic. What happened to open open and honest debate on the issues?

  • Tre……

    Actually the Kansas professor who was “attacked”, planned on teaching this class in such a way to discredit creationism and bash Christians. And upon further review, the police are rather suspicious of his story of being attacked (he actually claimed that he was attacked by Christians!!)

  • If that’s true, those “Christians” weren’t acting very Christ-like.

    Somebody over at foxnews.com needs to work on their titles. But if I had read more thoroughly I would have seen:

    “Mirecki had referred to religious conservatives as “fundies,” and said a course describing intelligent design as mythology would be a “nice slap in their big fat face.” He has apologized for those comments.”

    Nice catch Scott!

  • Fundies?

    I guess Jesus Freak just doesn’t have the same bite it used to back in the day.

  • Could be a badge of honor for some. I know it is for me. 8^)
