I’ll get to Wednesday’s bird speciation DpSU tomorrow, but to one for today – Some Atheists Go to Church for Kids by Christine Dao – can be commented on quickly.

Mistakes Were Made, Part 2
Yesterday’s DpSU was also by Dao and is again about how, in the words of Dr Robbins, Mistakes in Science Apparently Means Creationism Is True. Her new article is called More Transparency Needed in Science Textbooks, Museums, and applies the “With this many errors…how can the field of science maintain any semblance of infallibility or [...]

Mistakes Were Made – But Not By Us
Today’s Daily (pseudo)Science Update is by Christine Dao, rather than the usual Brian Thomas. Her article is called Mistakes and Misconduct in Science and tries to argue that science is fallible and prone to political influence. And I’m sure you can guess where she is going with that.

An Apt Comparison
The latest DpSU on the ICR’s website is called Letting the Science Speak for Itself, and is by Christine Dao, who can always be counted on for a good laugh. She is, interestingly enough, agreeing with Steven Newton’s New Scientist opinion article, Geology will survive creationist undermining. That is to say, she agrees that banning [...]

The Week in DpSUs
I missed quite a few of the ICR’s DpSUs in the last week or so. All these poor people who want to know more about whatever BS has been posted that day, suddenly no-longer a quick search away from some slightly more accurate information. It’s a tragedy.

That’s a Video!
So, I’m doing homework right now, which is why I haven’t posted all week. The ICR, on the other hand, evidently does not get anything analogous to homework, as evidenced by their continuing-as-usual-on-a-week-after-an-aaf-publication over the same period. Indeed, they’ve gone and launched themselves a vimeo channel, called That’s a Fact. Christine Dao introduces it like [...]

The Tranquil Flood, More Dinosaur Pigments and the Petition to Ban Creationism
It’s been a slow week. Since writing the previous post – which was rather long – I’ve been resting my fingers, attending to other hobbies (so, apparently, if you convert a program from c to c++, and replace the structs with classes, you get less segmentation faults. Or at least you do when I’m writing [...]

Youth Ministry: Pagan Evilutionist Infiltration
That does seem to be the gist of Christine Dao‘s latest article at everybody’s favourite Creationist outfit, the Institute for Creation Research: New Film Says Youth Ministry Borrows from Evolution, Paganism [Dead link]. No, she’s not ripping the film to shreds – she really seems to agree with it. And no, I am not making [...]

Watch Who You’re Calling “Anti-Science”
If Young Earth Creationists like opals, they dislike Discovery News just as much. And every other reputable science news outlet as well, but I get the idea that DN is particularly reviled. Christine Dao, the ‘Assistant Editor at the Institute for Creation Research’ is the author of the latest article to arrive in the Daily [...]

The question for day 9 was: What is your favorite Christmas memory? While the question for day 10 was: If you could only put up one Christmas decoration, what would it be?
