I’m talking with scientific illustrator Emily Willoughby about Dinosaurs! Creationism! and Evolutionary Psychology! EDIT: The book we talk about, GOD’S WORD OR HUMAN REASON, is available now for preorder!
Dinosaurs are cool!
Yi qi, the very bizarre dinosaur with bat-wings
Maniraptors, specifically dromaeosaurs, which had feathers, and might have been secondarily flightless
Balaur bondoc, the flightless climbing omnivorous bird, closer to modern birds than Archaeopteryx, with an enlarged hallux.
Zhenyuanlong suni, a dromaeosaur with motherflippin WINGS, people (PDF)…is NOT the amazing new discovery Emily mentioned, apparently. Check back in September.
The world as you know it has changed!
The Fluffosaur Singularity is come! And there came upon the land the Great Enfluffening. The beasts of the field burst forth in fluffiness and many tears were shed into their luxuriant pellage!
Also her book God’s Word or Human Reason: an inside perspective on creationism.
Broad outlines of evolution and the (not particularly effective) attacks on Christianity
It’s okay to be Christian and believe evolution.
Schools in the US teaching Intelligent Design/Creationism
Ignoring radiometric dating is dangerous and silly.
Pat Robertson denies the earth is only 6,000 years old.
People are not going to change their minds when they’re bullied.
