Title: My blog about my experiences defending science
Post by: silkworm on May 28, 2006, 02:57:30 AM

I attend creationism/ID meetings to defend against misrepresentations of science. Since there is no debate, I don't attend to do so, I just go expecting a valid scientific argument, explain why what was delivered wasn't one, and point out any misrepresentations of science presented at these meetings. I am blogging my experiences doing so here:

I plan on branching out to defending misrepresentations of science in other places, but those presented by the creationism/ID movement are the most pressing and hit closest to home so that's my current focus.

I'm also new here, but I'm a chemistry major and look forward to contributing to the forum.

Are these people very active in the United States?

In Britain, we gotta worry about the relatively "extreme" Christian Evangelists..

They're unfortunately pretty successful in my state and are apparantly everywhere.

You in the UK aren't so safe though. AiG will be there a lot over the summer. Here's a link to their schedule.

I'll be adding a method where people can add there blog feed to our new blog reader block. But it'll come with some restrictions.

LOL. We were already off-tangent the topic of this thread. I had to move the post before Mitch starts making noise about Thread Hijacking. LOL.

For those of you who were familiar with my "Defending Science" blog, found at http://silkworm.wordpress.com (http://silkworm.wordpress.com) between February 2006 and May 2007, I regret to inform you that my blog was hijacked by spammers and, as a result, shut down by wordpress.com due to violation of the Terms of Service. Wordpress is not responding to any of my requests for access to my content, and appear to have a NO TOLERANCE policy when it comes to Terms of Service violations.

For anyone out there who may have a hard disk copy of anything from my the "Defending Science" blog, please notify me immediately at my new blog at http://brockwichita.wordpress.com/ (http://brockwichita.wordpress.com/), which is mirrored at http://brockwichita.blogspot.com/ (http://brockwichita.blogspot.com/).

Thank you for your help and support.
