UK Jewish MP: Israel acting like Nazis in Gaza
seriously guys,
you have the right to be pissed of on Israel. But comparing it to Nazi-Germany is simply naive. Just try to imagine Hitler on a negotiation for a 2-state solution. muhahaha.

Countdown: Palin's Anti-Science Mindlessness
Stunning. My research has been insulted by Palin herself thus putting my field in one line with the Big Bang Theory and Evolution. It`s like a dream come true.

How Chimp Chromosome #13 Proves Evolution
"For me and my own, there's no way that all of this could have happened by chance."
You know, there's one thing I'll never understand about believers:
As soon as they find a phenomenon they can't explain they automatically take it as a rock-hard proof for the existence of their own god or whatever. That strange way of thinking differs so fundamentally from mine that I sometimes feel their ancestors where indeed drawn from a different species than my ones.
How Chimp Chromosome #13 Proves Evolution
for the seriously interested, here's the reference:
http://www.pnas.org/cgi/content/abstract/88/20/9051
actually much of scientific research is available for free!...e.g try out this:
http://biology.plosjournals.org
it has lots of pictures and its quite easy to understand for any interested amateur (still it does have a decent impact factor of 14.1)
If you're interested in an particular topic go for:
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/entrez?db=PubMed
the free articles are marked with green and orange. for easy understanding it is useful to check out an editorial or minireview if avaible.
nuff said, cheers!
P.S just try to search for "evidence for creation/design" or alike and see for yourself how much you can find.

"...a bit of satire in it..." What? Heretic!
Dr.Kent Hovind VS Molecular Geneticist (an actual Dr.)
He does. And he repeats his questions many times. He interrupts Hovind only, when he is trying to get around the answer....and Hovind is trying that in most of the cases. I always have similar problems when arguing with someone who hasn't a clue what he's talking about, but is convinced he's right anyway. If I get caught not knowing the question to an answer, I say "dunno" - but creationist can't do that: because with every question they can't answer their whole world view(and meaning of life)is put to the test. So - I wouldn't be upset if anyone would prove a design in nature; just very surprised!
....but the only arguments I can see for now are solemnly based on arrogance ("I don't understand all this - and I'm such a smart guy")and I see no observations which can be only or better explained by the designer-hypothesis.

it may be a little bit crappy kind of a video...but the story is gorgeous. love it!
Christopher Hitchens on Religion and Anti-theism
well, actually I have a quite similar view on stuff as he does...
but anyways: there are many vids of such interviews on the net, and this one is gros. Not only the "watch now, NOW he owns religion" neonish-banner in the middle - also the music horrible. And also nowadays I find criticism focused on Iran a little bit creepy, don't you think? (although I do understand the point he makes is of course universally targeted to any kind of theism)
Proving the bible is repulsive
"With or without religion, good people can behave well and bad people can do evil; but for good people to do evil—that takes religion"
That sentence has been quoted quite often. But not often enough.
