This is fact. This is science. It is provable and repeatable. It doesn’t matter how you apply it or what you apply it to, it always adds up. Two feathers plus two feathers equals four feathers. Two houses plus two houses equals four houses. You can even mix things up, and the total amount remains […]

Kern doesn’t get it
He also admits that there is strong evidence for “micro” evolution. There is a pretty simple equation that he doesn’t seem to get, though: Micro-evolution plus enough time equals macro-evolution. Kern brings up two examples, which he thinks qualify as topics to be discussed in high-school curricula. This is a simple misunderstanding on the nature […]

Queen of bad press
But, as we found out on April 27, that’s just because she was saving up her material. During debate on a measure that would put a constitutional amendment on the ballot to end affirmative action programs in state education, contracting and employment, Kern went off.

Is Sally Kern an aberration?
The first of many unsettling racist encounters as I traveled across Oklahoma was in a diner where a voter told me that “Obama should be taken out before it is too late.” In 2009, after the president was elected, colleagues and I saw a Tea Party protester at a rally outside the state Capitol with […]

In the beginning
His being so well-read on religion and science, I have but two questions for the preacher, spawned from Genesis: “In the beginning …” When was this? Where was this? —Merle D. WrightOklahoma City
