Michael Behe's Darwin Devolves Topples Foundational Claim of Evolutionary Theory | Evolution News
Brian Miller reviews Michael Behe's latest book: "The evidence commonly cited to argue for evolution's ability to drive large-scale transformations is almost always circular. Biologists regularly identify similarities and differences between two groups and then assume those differences are the result of natural selection, mutations, and related processes. However, this conclusion is not based on any actual hard evidence. It is simply assumed. As Behe demonstrates, all empirical data point to the conclusion that evolution is only capable of producing minor alterations of existing designs but nothing truly novel. Evolutionists must now to an even greater extent disconnect their grand narratives from empirical data and confine them to the realm of their unrestrained imaginations. Anyone interested in knowing the truth about the design/evolution debate will find Darwin Devolves a must read."

Message dissemination via large-scale projection
"This sort of cat-and-mouse game with the authorities comes with the terrain of guerrilla projection. Our strategy for dealing with it is relatively straightforward. Never ask for permission beforehand, and stop when a police officer asks you to stop. There isn't much to be gained by getting into an argument with an officer over operative legal statutes.
"The most important piece of advice we would give to others trying to do this is to make sure to get the most critical content up and on the building as fast as possible, with a photographer in position to get the shot. Even in the diciest of situations you can usually get 30 seconds to a minute. If you're really prepared and have a plan, that 30 seconds is all that you'll need to capture the image you want."
Why the Left Is Consumed With Hate - Shelby Steele
Shelby Steele writes: "The left's unspoken terror is that racism is no longer menacing enough to support its own power. The great crisis for the left today--the source of its angst and hatefulness--is its own encroaching obsolescence. Today the left looks to be slowly dying from lack of racial menace."
