I'm from Missouri

This site is named for the famous statement of US Congressman Willard Duncan Vandiver from Missouri : "I`m from Missouri -- you'll have to show me." This site is dedicated to skepticism of official dogma in all subjects. Just-so stories are not accepted here. This is a site where controversial subjects such as evolution theory and the Holocaust may be freely debated.

My biggest motivation for creating my own blogs was to avoid the arbitrary censorship practiced by other blogs and various other Internet forums. Censorship will be avoided in my blogs -- there will be no deletion of comments, no closing of comment threads, no holding up of comments for moderation, and no commenter registration hassles. Comments containing nothing but insults and/or ad hominem attacks are discouraged. My non-response to a particular comment should not be interpreted as agreement, approval, or inability to answer.

Pope's seminar on evolution

The New York Times has a good article on the pope's seminar on evolution.

The outcome of the seminar is not expected to be earth-shaking -- the article notes, "No document will be published afterward, no news conference given." The article also notes, "all sides of the evolution question will get a hearing, though with an emphasis on skepticism." The article covers two web pages.

More information and opinions are here on Uncommon Descent and here and here on Evolution News & Views.
