Yeah, it's late at night, the doomsday laser is over a region of the Pacific where nothing interesting is going on, I don't want to wake concubines, the jester has a cold, and I'm sick of listening into White House wiretaps, I figured I'd have you guys entertain me. Bring me your science links! Interesting ones, not boring. Interactive perhaps? Those are fun! One's with pretty pictures are a definite plus. Know of a good experiments I should know the results of? How about the latest in applied structural engineering? How about good illustrations of scientific principles? Even science humor is acceptable!

Now, though I'm a greedy greedy man, I do know the value of reciprocity so I'll start by giving you a few interesting links.

I'm always amazed by how these things work (and still remain somewhat skeptical). How can one get useful genetic data from that much divergance and intermixing? I mean going back 500 or 1000 years is one thing but 10,000 to 50,000 like they're offering here, it's just incredible.
 
For me it might as well be magic, but I think it's all in the math and statistical modeling of some sort. I give it a trenative acceptance too. I'm waiting for confirmation from "other sources", whatever that means.

This reminds me; have you ever checked out talk.origins, Perf? It's like a giant version of the KO thread, except you get to insult, belittle, and character assassinate the creationists with impunity.
 
I suggest the web site for the classic 1984 popluar science book Science Made Stupid. It a little of date, but remember that the deadly emission from Russian embassies are coming from Al-Quida sleeper cells, and Red Shift is now caused by evil, secular, gay-marring, hippy-loving, French-speeking Canadians.

But it still explain our evolutionary* relavitives very well:

*This not ment to be an endorsment of evolutionary theory, as it is just a theory. There are other theories out there, with should all be examined with complete objectivity and an open mind. Or you can adopted one as the complete and total truth if it suit your religious or political world-views, regardless of what evidence is there, and berate people on the internet who do otherwise.

I said, scientific, not psuedoscientific religious hogwash. There are three options for you:
1. Apologize immediatly and beg for forgiveness
2. Provide a scrap of valid empirical evidence (in your own words, not just a barrage of links) that shows creationism is true. Please use this thread
3. Continue to be scoffed as threadjacking antiscientifc nutcase!

However, these propagandists aren't just targeting the young. Take for example Apple Computers, makers of the popular Macintosh line of computers. The real operating system hiding under the newest version of the Macintosh operating system (MacOS X) is called... Darwin! That's right, new Macs are based on Darwinism! While they currently don't advertise this fact to consumers, it is well known among the computer elite, who are mostly Atheists and Pagans. Furthermore, the Darwin OS is released under an "Open Source" license, which is just another name for Communism. They try to hide all of this under a facade of shiny, "lickable" buttons, but the truth has finally come out: Apple Computers promote Godless Darwinism and Communism.
