"Claiming Evolution led to the Holocaust is akin to claiming that gravity is responsible for every single war. Without gravity, bullets wouldn't fly, and bombs wouldn't drop, so please stop your incredulous notion that a fact of nature is responsible when it was clearly the work of men."Adrian Hayter

How Many Ways Can You Desecrate The Eucharist?

I can personally think of about…7 different ways off the top of my head before I start getting bored and have to go play video games. A Canadian YouTube user who goes by the name fsmdude (his noodliness be praised) is trying to find out just that. So far, his video series has seen 20 desecrations, including

  • Desecration by Frying Pan (plus whipped cream for a tasty fried snack)
  • Desecration by Toilet
  • Desecration by Glue-gun
  • Desecration by Magnifying glass (plus the good ol’ Sun)

My personal favourite (because it isĀ  so cute) is video #15, Desecration by Groundhog:

Great work, PZ Myers would be proud!

So, You Think You Know Evolution?

I help run a general atheist forum which has recently been increasing in activity. The topic of Evolution comes up now and then, and the creationists always bring up all the misconceptions again and again. Sometimes you wish you had an hour or so to write an massively long response to them, citing all their mistakes, providing lots of evidence, and backing it all up with research. This rarely happens since it takes far too much effort for simple online forums, and often people are left simply pointing out simple mistakes and telling the creationists to “go do some proper research”.

When it does happen however, it completely blows everyone away.

The member, solidsquid, a self proclaimed “Dioist“, wrote an epic post complete with images, research, links, and references. It must have taken ages to put together, and I applaud him for his efforts. The question is, will any creationists actually read it?
