Creationist tours in natural history museum

ABC show Nightline does a good job covering the story of Biblically Correct Tours, a organisation of Young Earth Creationists that takes children on tours of natural history museums, distorting the science on display and deploying a dazzling array of straw man arguments, circular logic, and outright lies.  The museum tolerates the tours in the spirit of open debate.  Whether the church behind this will invite the museum curator to outline the discrepancies in their bible remains to be seen.

Tasty Cultural Treats

If the sight of this bacterial colony is making you drool, relax in the knowledge that this is actually a dessert item! Creator Mark Rehorst explains:

I’ve had a few microbiology classes and cultured many different types of bacteria on different media, so I thought it would be fun to make dessert that looked like bacterial cultures served in Petri dishes!

Ace! To see the rest of Mark’s yummy fake-microbial treats click here.
