Over at Dispatches from the Culture Wars, Ed Brayton, anti-religious right scourge extraordinaire, is tired of playing "Whack-a-mole"--the game in which you hit something in one place, and it just pops up in another.
He complains that certain creationist arguments keep popping up in various places even though they have been repeatedly refuted. Of course creationists complained about biology textbooks that continued for years to include Haeckel's embryos (faked evidence for evolution) and the peppered moth myth (the photos of which were staged) even though they had repeatedly been shown to be inaccurate.
Looks like Brayton and the creations have something in common. That ought to make him feel good.

You are welcome to post at this blog. You are asked, however, to refrain from the following:
1. Name-calling;
2. Questioning the motives or integrity of people you have never met just because you disagree with them;
3. Using obscenities or other expressions not appropriate or necessary to civilized discussion;
4. Taking disagreement personally;
5. Demeaning or insulting remarks.
The host will attempt to abide by the same rules and only asks that you not provide him with the temptation to do so in return by violating them.
Failure to comply with these rules can result (depending solely on the arbitrary and inscrutable will of the host) in the deletion of offending posts and suspension of posting privileges. Such measures are more likely if you post anonymously.
