I got interviewed a few weeks ago for KCRW’s Good Food, way down in Santa Monica, CA. Turns out they wanted to hear about what it’s like raising honeybees, and I got a few words in about the complex flavors of honey, to what’s good about the public reaction to CCD, and they really wanted to know what “Bee Bread” was.

Uncommon Descent is a home for science-deniers (denying evolution, recently global warming, and now sprinklings of HIV-AIDS denial), and is usually a waste of time. Ed Brayton describes it as “Dembski’s home for wayward sycophants. But it does have its good qualities.
Besides the street theater-type entertainment, every now and then they link to really good papers or articles. Take this one, for example, where William Dembski links to an excellent paper by Barbara Forrest. Because I’m so familiar with the antievolution movement (particularly ID) thus far, I could skip the first sections. But the post-Kitzmiller section, and the Biologic Institute section are well worth my - and your - time.
Dembski, of course, offers up his usual unsubstantive ad-hominem attack on Forrest. Keep dreaming of ruling over a university and kicking out all the practicing scientists materialists. Keep dreaming…
