Information
| Blog Name: | The Panda's Thumb |
| Url: | http://www.pandasthumb.org |
| Language: | English |
| Topics: | evolution, creationism, Darwin |
| Description: | “The Panda’s Thumb” is many things… First, it is an example of jury-rigged evolutionary adaptation made famous by the late Stephen Jay Gould in an essay of the same name. Second, it is the legendary virtual bar serving the community of the legendary virtual University of Ediacara somewhere in the Ediacaran hills of southern Australia, growing out of the lore of the Usenet talk.origins newsgroup. And now it is a weblog giving another voice for the defenders of the integrity of science, the patrons of “The Panda’s Thumb”. Much as in any tavern serving a university community, you can expect to hear a variety of levels of discussion, ranging from the picayune to the pedantic. The authors are people associated with the virtual University of Ediacara (and thus the talk.origins newsgroup), and various web sites critical of the antievolution movement, such as the TalkOrigins Archive, TalkDesign, and Antievolution.org. So, here’s a virtual pub crawl that you might actually learn something from. We hope you find your time spent here pleasant and rewarding. |

Hunter vs. Hunt on Turf-13
As a last treat for the 150th anniversary of the Origin, have a look at young-earth creationist Cornelius Hunter, author of the “Darwin’s God” book and blog. Hunter’s basic argument against virtually any common pro-evolution argument is, basically, “But you evolutionists are claiming that God wouldn’t have done it this way! You’re making an unscientific theological argument!” (Never mind that when science writers have said things like “this looks like bad design”, they are simply using the design model that creationists themselves put forward – b

Charles Darwin's On the Origin of Species: A Graphic Adaptation
Last month I was sent a review copy of one of the most beautiful books I’ve ever read: Charles Darwin’s On the Origin of Species: A Graphic Adaptation by Michael Keller and Nicolle Rager Fuller. Although, I haven’t finished the book yet, I think today, the 150th anniversary of the publication of the Origin, is an appropriate day to tal

Kirk Cameron on the spot
Here’s a video from UCLA last week showing some folks getting the opportunity to discuss evolution with Kirk Cameron in person – something the rest of us on the other campuses were hoping for. Who’s the brilliant young woman telling Kirk what’s what down at UCLA? I think I’m in love… (HT: via TMZ via Huffington post)

The British Council presents E. O. Wilson on Darwin
Here online. Unfortunately Wilson is recovering from pneumonia and so pre-recorded his talk. Following is a panel discussion with (among others) Peter Bowler.
