But I don't follow this stuff much, anymore. My interest is the same but the output from these "science" publications has changed - from discussing science to hating religion.
This morning I wanted to check out the latest in the field of science and headed over to ScienceBlogs.com...and had trouble finding an article about lab work or physical observations of any kind. Not even a word about string theory. Just hate talk.
This article childishly insults the entire state of Texas because of one religious zealot who wants to stop saying "hello". It discusses Michelle Obama, but not science.
This one makes fun of people who love God. (Exactly what scientists ought to be doing.)
Here, we are told that a right-wing extremist was the killer at the Holocaust Museum - even though it was a Bush hating journalism major who disliked Christians.
"I know, you were all hoping we would announce a cure for the plague - but we've just been too busy protesting Vatican I. Maybe next time!"It was the same when I stopped reading science magazines. Lengthy stories would discuss social issues and preferred politicians but never actually anything new about outer space or biology (except in small articles of one or two paragraphs). I realize that militant Creationists have added to this problem by being rude to the world of science and that sort of thing does need to stop. But, for the sake of intellectual and social advancement I would like to see the scientists putting down the protest signs and picking up their beakers. (Simultaneously, I would like to see Creationist bloggers put down their hate speech and show love to their fellow man.)

I was under the impression that science was about exploring the unknown, and questioning what we think we know.
It is not creationist to question the validity of evolutionary theory, it is science.
I would add Dave that if science comes up with any answer, other than FALSE, when relating to evolutionary theory as a means to our existence, then it has moved from the realm of science into fairy tales.
"Darwinists are attempting to use the prestige of science to advance a metaphysical position, their commitment to materialist naturalism. Darwinism is the creation myth of naturalist materialists. That is why, I believe, they consistently call their critics “creationists,” regardless of their critics’ actual positions, and accuse them of being motivated out of a secret belief in the literal truth of Genesis. They are so concerned with Genesis because they are aggressively attempting to replace it with a rival myth, not because of some supposed threat to “Science” from “Religion.” In reality Darwinism’s proponents are the unreasoning dogmatists blinded by their faith in their own unexamined metaphysical assumptions, and its skeptics are the ones using reason and respecting the methods of science."
