Sahotra Sarkar (Philosophy of Biology, University of Texas) has revived his blog in response to the creationist takeover of the Texas Board of Education.
Biologist and philosopher Sahotra Sarkar is combative, to say the least. When he says what he means, it can hurt physically if you are the target. I almost feel sympathy for Ben Stein...
POssibly the best response to this would be "BRing it on!"
All the creationists have with regards to physics is fuzzy wishful thinking, no science at all. The only problem is that some bits of physics, QD and relativity etc, are counter intuitive enough for people to think that they haev disproved them every week. So again, the physicists will have trouble educating the public.
I just wish they'd attack chemistry, (I have a degree in it), since they'd just bounce straight off.
