Rescued from the spam-file (kind of).

By jstemwedel on February 2, 2009.

Left by a self-proclaimed "fitness specialist" and "trainer of personal trainers" (along with all manner of contact information) as a comment on this post:

Isn't it amazing that someone like Darwin is celebrated for his thoughts. Evolution is bunk! I am not a creationist either. But to evolve an animal had to make a conscious decision. An example: a fish had to decide that land was the next place it was going to make its home. How many fish had to make that decision and how many realized they would have to die before their gills evolved into lungs? Yet there are people who actually believe in evolution. Somebody is not thinking things through.

Way to combat the stereotype that personal trainers aren't that bright!

Also: dude, break down and buy some ads. Spreading your digits in the comments section of a blog just reeks of desperation.

Slinking away in shame over my profession yet again (another surgeon behaving badly over evolution)
You know, I'm really tired of this. I'm tired of my fellow physicians with a penchant for spouting scientifically ignorant "attacks" on or "doubts" about evolution. It embarrasses the hell out of me around ScienceBlogs, and I really wish they would stop it. Sadly, it seems to be an increasingly…
Waxing indignant: pointless?
In the comments to the XDR-TB update post, Scott suggested that bloggers were putting too much emphasis on whether the TB patient was stupid/arrogant/self-centered/whatever, and later that "waxing indignant is pointless." I started this as a response to those comments, but thought instead it might…

Longtime readers of this blog may recall Pat Sullivan, Jr. He first popped up as a commenter here two years ago, when I first dove into applying skepticism and critical thinking to the pseudoscientific contention that vaccines in general or the thimerosal preservatives in vaccines cause autism.

Yeah, he left a comment on my blog too. Made it through the spam filter for some reason...

I deleted a meaningless comment by the same person in 5 seconds yesterday.

It must be hell for the poor guy. Everytime he looks for info on 'fitness' he gets some science. He must also hate trains.
