Fighting for science and reason in a faith-based world

I Hate the Clowns, and I'm not alone
I've never liked clowns, and now I know I'm not alone. The clowns of course, protest, but consider some of the scariest moments in movies are evil clowns (think Poltergeist). Then again, I don't think Homey the Clown was part of the study.
I have a mathematics background, an interest in science, and an unapologetic impatience for sloppy thinking. This puts me at odds with both right and left. It's high time the rational scientific viewpoint got the rabid proponent it deserves. I fight nonsense so the scientists don't have to. The blog is not necessarily about science, but rather is a scientific view of the world. Rational, civilly expressed, factually supported thought-out opposing views are welcome. Disparaging, irrational, intentionally obtuse, troll-like whack-a-mole, quote-mining posts will be dispatched without hesitation or apology, as will tit-for-tat partisan "the other side does it too" political gamesmanship, and opinions of what topics I should be writing about. We don't do that here.
