NCSE Reports came the other day, a bit late. Some interesting topics: Letter to the editor from a Creationist went like this: When you die you will go to Hell and oblivion, you're intolerant and will be punished, you idiots who refuse salvation Dr. Morris offers, praise Jesus. We'll watch your agony for eternity as you suffer endless torture and enjoy it in the rapture while you suffer pain without end. (unsigned) NJ Postmark (Editor's comment) No one loves an editor, I guess. There's an interesting article that updates the Patterson / Sutherland fiasco that has arisen here recently. Discussion on Asimov's "Nightfall", concerning the relationship between religion and science. (This is one of his stories published in 1941). Report on a Texas symposium by K. John Morrow of the Dept. of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Texas Tech. Philip Johnson was at the symposium, and there are some useful insights into his thinking. NCSE Reports is a publication of the National Center for Science Education, an organization devoted primarily to preserving the integrity of science teaching, particularly in the public schools. It is an affiliate of the American Association for the Advancement of Science and the National Science Teachers Association. Membership is a good deal at $25 per year; Members get substantial discounts on a number of books relevant to talk.origins, including Strahler's _Science and Earth History_, recommended as the single best source for responding to Creationist arguments.
