Creationism Vs. Science part of the Site.

Post by Straha »

Sorry to bother you Master Wong, but when will you update it again? It's been almost a Year, and I don't think I can last much longer without an update.

Perhaps new essays, more e-mails from fundies, more content in the "arguments" and "morality" section, stuff like that.

I'm guessing more fundie mail to laugh at would be a popular choice ;)

Maybe all fundie mail should be read and refuted in the forum. It's always fun to do that sort of thing.

Perhaps you could write something up yourself, and volunteer it to the site.

Not to jump in, but I'd been thinking about submitting an essay or two myself. Still, that's Mike's page and it's a summary of his personal beef with the fundies.
Note: I'm semi-retired from the board, so if you need something, please be patient.

He has before submitted other people's work. I'm sure if someone submits something well written and factually sound, he would be happy to include it.

If you send him a particularly interesting piece of Creationist or Fundie stupidity, he sometimes makes an article out of it. I notified him about the Rutgers Journal Nuremberg Project web page, and that resulted in his "Nuremberg Deception" essay.

So go out and find something worth his time.

Why not an essay that points out what Falwell and Robertson has really done?

I was thinking of something like a "scary quotes" section, and perhaps other exapmles of fundie idiocy.

Mike already has a cropload of those, from positiveatheism.org IIRC.
