In a few days, a high school club in California will distribute 2,000 Darwin cards. Momentum builds. Some cards heading to Kentucky, UK, and...your town? Let me know.

3 Cups of Vinegar?

The Monkey Bible, a work of fiction, has plenty of nonfiction parts to it. Does Greg Mortenson's work of nonfiction, 3 Cups of Tea, contain fabrications aplenty? Another fallen "hero"?

Richard Dawkins detractors

There's a new facebook page, taking shots at Richard Dawkins and the "neo-Athiests"

http://www.facebook.com/home.php?ref=hp ... 4292891808

here's my post on their facebook wall:

"To Richard Dawkins, I would say, How do you know for sure? Seems to me Mr Darwin wasn't sure, which resonates with my (humble?) view of the world. I do think Dr Dawkins (his views on God aside) is an awesome explainer of science. Would you not agree? Dawkins, incidently, doesn't directly appear in The Monkey Bible."
