It is interesting, like the author to follow both sides of the debate. Intelligent debate is healthy rather than just berating the other side's arguments.

The 2010 MBL-ASU Seminar in the History of Biology

Author: Andrew
Forum: Announcements
Date: 2009-10-13

It's a distinct pleasure to announce the 23rd annual MBL-ASU Seminar in the History of Biology, which will be held at the Marine Biological Laboratory in Woods Hole, Massachusetts on May 19-26. The Seminar is an intensive week-long investigation into annually varying topics, and is designed for a group of no more than twenty-ﬁve advanced graduate students, postdoctoral associates, younger scholars, and established researchers in biology, history, philosophy, and the social sciences. John Beatty, Jim Collins, and Jane Maienschein are the Directors.

This topic this year is "From Linnaeus to the Encyclopedia of Life." Organizers Andrew Hamilton, Paul Farber, and Jim Collins will lead discussions of the history and conceptual foundations of natural history, biodiversity studies, and taxonomy, with a look at the Encyclopedia of Life project that is housed at the MBL as well as some new projects in taxonomy informatics that are being pursued jointly by researchers at MBL and ASU.

For more information on the Seminar and for financial aid, see the website at http://cbs.asu.edu/mbl_seminar or send an email to Andrew Hamilton at mailto:ahamilton@asu.edu. Applications will be accepted until January 15th, 2010.

Thanks for the tip! It's helpful to build up a good critical literature on these sorts of things.

Young earth creationism

Author: Brad
Forum: Evolution, Creationism, & Intelligent Design
Date: 2009-09-27

There is an interesting review article just published in Science and Education on the state of the art, such as it is, of young earth creationism --

Heaton, Timothy. 2009. “Recent Developments in Young-Earth Creationist Geology”, in Science and Education, Vol. 18, No. 10, October 2009, pp. 1341–1358. URI: http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s11191-008-9162-6

There are some wonderfully ad hoc hypotheses described. One is designed to explain the fossil record -- before the flood, some young earth creationists believe, there was a continent-sized floating forest containing species strictly confined within concentric circular bands, which the flood delicately deposited one by one into the strata. Carbon dating? No problem -- varying rates of nuclear decay, with the excess heat carried off by the expansion of space.

Could be a nice paper to use in an introductory philosophy of science class...
