Why the Creation-Evolution Controversy is Important
Byhenry September 15, 2007
I’m going to try for a brief statement, something that seems to be an unnatural act for me! I am sometimes asked why I spend so much of my time on the [tag]creation[/tag]/[tag]evolution[/tag] controversy.

Random Designer II
Byhenry December 5, 2007

Science and Replication (or not)
Byhenry May 12, 2016
An article today on FiveThirtyEight says it’s possible that the simple awarding of badges to those who follow certain procedures (openness of data, revealing methodology, etc), may have sparked an increase in these good practices. Or not, of course. The correlation is pretty clear. The causation is somewhat less so. It could be that all…
