What to do when it snows...

Nature News is always worth a read. And this is just too funny. Apparently, the creators of the creation museum have now launched a scientific journal of their own. I'm quoting from the Nature article. Emphasis mine.

'On 9 January, Answers in Genesis, a Christian ministry run by evangelical Ken Ham, launched Answers Research Journal (ARJ ), a free, online publication devoted to research on “recent Creation and the global Flood within a biblical framework”. Papers will be peer reviewed by those who “support the positions taken by the journal”, according to editor-in-chief Andrew Snelling, a geologist based in Brisbane, Australia.'

What a hoot. Oxymoronic in the extreme. I thought peer review was meant for critical appraisal. Moving on..

This is not funny. Just sad.

Since scientific news seems on the down and down this week, I was reduced to reading this piece of salacious gossip in that trashy T of I. Boring, hypocritical, Sati Savitri Rani is NOT that saintly after all! (To understand why I label her thus, you have to have been jobless enough to have watched this in entirety.)
