Man are from Mars, Critique of Dr. Ellis Silver
Here is a fun little gem. A Dr. Ellis Silver has written a book and given some interviews claiming humans may have evolved for conditions on Mars and were brought to Earth some time in the past. He bases his claims on human physiology. Sounds like fun. Let us dissect. A new book by American ecologist Dr. Ellis Silver offers arguments, based on human physiology, that humans as species may not have evolved alongside other life on Earth – but arrived from [Mars], brought here by aliens...

Moving the First and Second Amendment
"Our rights should not be taken away or altered because of a select few!" Am I talking about gun rights or freedom to be Muslim? Both are being called into question in light of the Orlando massacre. At a cursory glance, this controversy may feel like a conflict between the first two amendments of our constitution. Some of us want to ban a class of firearms that is capable of mowing down large numbers of people over short range and in confined spaces. Some of us want to ban the religious... [more]

Opening Closed Primaries is Unconstitutional
Lately, there has been far too much bitching about how the primary elections are being held. I hear demands that closed primaries should be outlawed. I hear that super delegates are not democratic. I hear demands that political parties should be outlawed. I hear demands for a third party. When the DNC chairwoman recently declared that she would close all primaries, there was an explosion of misplaced outrage. The problem is this: political parties are private organizations, not government... [more]

Stop Pretending You Understand Science
If you think peer review is something that can be shilled and, thus, science isn't reliable, you do not know how the system works. Peer review is structured to weed out bias by design and profit bias is no more effective at puncturing it. Peer review forces you to tip your hand. If you publish bad data that is not repeatable by your peers, it doesn't get selected for publishing. If the journal makes an error and publishes it anyway (which happens), other experts can and do continue... [more]

Seneff Defender Demands Retraction
This is fun. I sort of feel like one of the big boys when crazies start e-mailing me with demands. I don't usually like giving crazies attention, but I would like to offer a standing pre-emptive response to anyone who takes time out of their day to send me one of these. Hmm, let me consider that for a moment ... NO! Thank you and good night. Just reading this, I can feel how desperate this person is to shore up his or her preconceived notions. This person has a pseudo-science position he... [more]

The meaning of "human"
A fascinating paper was released in Nature in November and the science noobs are already getting it wrong. The writers over at Ancient-origins.net have demonstrated a discrepancy in their understanding of basic biology. far more significant was the finding that they also mated with a mystery species from Asia – one that is neither human nor Neanderthal. Hold on there, big guy. A small correction is needed here. If someone tried to understand this as it is worded, some might start... [more]

Coke Kills Insects in India
Chemophobic naturopaths are so inconsistent that they can't even believe their own bullshit. Yes, soft drinks are used for controlling pestilent insects in India and other places. The critical detail that these fuck heads are leaving out is that the soft drinks are not used as poisons. Sugary liquids are effective at attracting predatory ants. Who'd'a' thunk it!? When amassed in numbers, these ants feed on insect larva, effectively keeping the crop-eating pestilent insects at a low... [more]
