Via Jerry Coyne I came across this brief essay from Michael Shermer on the subject of science and religion.
That's the take in this recent profile at New York magazine.
The latest "Ask a ScienceBlogger" question is:
What's up with organic foods? What are the main arguments for buying organic? Is it supposed to be better for me, or better for the planet, or what? Are organics, in any sense, worth the higher price?
A reader of this blog was outed by a moron posting as "Mark" on the Age of Autism blog. I will not link to the outing, nor will I link to Age of Autism.
Olaf Stapledon!
Oh, you're good! I thought I outgrew Heinlein myself.
wow, whose the right-winger now? :)
Ouch! You mean you're an egotistical and misogynistic Randian? I would have put you closer to Stapleton or Lem.
Myself, I got Gregory Benford. I can live with that.
I should have been in a better mood when I took the test. I was hoping for Stapledon or Benford, or perhaps Brin or Bear, though I would have certainly loved to have gotten LeGuin or Butler...
I got Asimov. Always liked Asimov, not so much his stories, which were sometimes really good, but him. If more people were like him, I think the world would be a better place.
Now Leguin would be ideal as far as writing and ideas go, and seems to be a nice person. Liked some of Heinlein, and did see his house after he died and the realtor had an open house so locals could come have a look and not make phoney appointments just to check it out. Small but nice design (he had trouble getting around and it was built for that).
