At a speech in Nashville on Sunday, Dr. Ben Carson, an adorably ambitious antique bread machine, articulated again his rejection of evolution, with all the easy eloquence we’ve come to expect.

These clips come from last night's HBO documentary Questioning Darwin. Says the first interviewee you'll see above, Pastor Peter LaRuffa, "If somewhere within the Bible, I were to find a passage that said 2 + 2 = 5, I wouldn't question what I'm reading in the Bible. I would believe it, accept it as true, and then do my best to work it out and understand it."

Last night, Bill "The Science Guy" Nye debated Ken Ham, a noted creationist, over the question: "How did we get here?" The debate, which took place at Ham's Creation Museum in Kentucky, lasted nearly two and a half hours and went about exactly as you'd expect.

An employee at Kentucky's Creation Museum was struck by lighting on the job yesterday.

Virginia Heffernan was once a high-profile tech and culture writer for the New York Times. For this reason, she is taken seriously. Yesterday, she wrote an essay entitled "Why I'm a Creationist." It amounts to a very specific guide as to why Virginia Heffernan should no longer be taken seriously.

You may have seen this floating around online: A "4th grade Science Quiz" attributed to a "private religious school in South Carolina" that rewards students for answering "false" to statements such as "the earth is billions of years old" and "dinosaurs lived millions of years ago."

As it turns out, this whole "evolution" thing isn't just a phase. And now Louisiana has to figure out whether we should be teaching it in our schools.

Florida Senator Marco Rubio has clearly learned a thing or two from Todd Akin and Richard Mourdock when it comes to qualifying public statements. Reminding us that a comprehensive understanding of the earth's history is reserved for only the most seasoned of sages and alchemists, with many glowing astrolabes, he told GQ that the true age of the planet is "one of the great mysteries" of our time. It seems fairly clear, however, that in suggesting parents teach their children about the formation and development of the planet using either "what science says" or "what their faith says" where he lands on science.

Is Marco Rubio, Florida's junior senator, a scientist? No, he tells GQ, twice, when asked how old the earth is:

Dr. Paul Broun, a Republican congressman representing Georgia's 10th district and chairman of the powerful United States House Science Subcommittee on Investigations and Oversight, made headlines in 2009 for his failed attempt to proclaim 2010 "The Year of the Bible."

Get to know Jack Wu, a God-fearing Christian man running for a seat on the Kansas Board of Education.

It's fairly safe to assume that Dr Pepper was not trying to make any sort of statement about the Darwin's Theory of Evolution when it posted a throwaway ad on its Facebook page delineating the "evolution of flavor."

In a new web video from online knowledge forum Big Think, science guy Bill Nye talks about evolution denial and its negative impact on society.

2012's Make America Magic campaign is going strong in Tennessee where, earlier this week, a bill permitting public school discussion of creationism alongside evolutionary-based explanations for the origins of life became law.

The world's most famous atheist, Richard Dawkins, apparently recovered from the unpleasant Elevatorgate business, took to the pages of the Washington Post this week to say nasty things about Rick Perry.

Good news for the oxymoronic field of creationist paleontology: A newly discovered cave painting in southeastern Utah sort of resembles a long-necked dinosaur, which means humans and dinosaurs coexisted in Utah 6000 years ago, back when the planet was new, say officials from the Creationist Museum of Petersburg, Kentucky.

Do you care about children, the education of children, or the future of children, and our system for educating them? Then we have bad news for you. Lots of bad news.

Today we looked at an astronomer who successfully sued the University of Kentucky for firing him based on his questioning of Evolution beliefs about creation. We said good for him. Many of you disagreed, as evidenced by the following comment.

According to Gallup, Four in ten Americans—and 52 percent of Republicans—believe "God created humans in present form within the last 10,000 years." Ah, the Enlightenment! The age of science and rationality! It was fun while it lasted.

The government is seizing Dinosaur Adventure Land, a creationist theme park in Florida., to satisfy the debts of the tax-dodging hucksters who founded it. Buy it and finally live the dream of owning an "amazement park" that lies about dinosaurs!
