TGIF! - Science Issue

I thought this was an incredible article in Salon about the new creationism museum in Kentucky [Photo © 2007 Monica Lam]. So the Earth is 7,000 years old, man lived (in perfect harmony) with dinosaurs, the Grand Canyon was created in one quick volcanic event, and the fossil record as deposited in the earth's crust is unreliable since all the layers were jumbled up in the Flood. How convenient!

I got a kick out of this reader review of the book on aging mentioned in the last post ("Younger Next Year"):

An excellent book for major lifestyle issues. [he gives it 5 stars out of 5], May 19, 2007
By Frederick G. Brown (Ormond Beach, FL) - See all my reviews

As a practicing physician, I strongly agree with the main points made in this book, namely, the need for frequent, aerobic excercise [sic] and the importance of eating the right foods. The strong points of this book are its humorous, easy-to-read style, and the emphasis on the fact that exercise and what we eat will not just make us feel better and look younger, but will really help us to live longer. The authors provide ample factual material to bolster their case, and then outline in detail what you have to do to get on board, in terms of the types and amount of excercise [sic], and details about the right foods. I have read several books on health and aging, and this one is probably the best. I don't agree with the underlying world view of the authors, which is decidedly evolutionary, but the basic tenets of the book are certainly valid. The book should inspire you to take better care of your body and to live a longer, healthier, and happier life. There is plently [sic] of helpful information in this book to help anyone who is serious about doing this. We only have one body, so why not take care of it? [Emphasis mine. Does Pat Robertson operate a med. school too?]
