The United States took another big step toward becoming a theocratic autocracy today, as Mike Pence broke the tie in the Senate and rammed through the nomination of creationist Betsy DeVos as Education Secretary, a religious fanatic openly hostile to public education. This is a heart-breaking development for anyone who cares ...

The destruction of the United States is accelerating again. A religious fanatic who has donated millions to creationist groups, and knows nothing about education, is about to become the Secretary of Education. And Donald Trump is preparing to bring back the financial crisis by rolling back the Dodd-Frank regulations and giving ...

Donald Trump has nominated a head of education who's a creationist, an attorney general who is openly hostile to civil rights laws, and now is appointing anti-vaccination crackpot Robert F. Kennedy to chair a committee on vaccine safety: Trump Moves To Challenge Vaccine Science. Donald Trump moved to question one ...

Video Here's a frankly amazing statement from creationist former candidate Ben Carson, who says he completely understands why Donald Trump compared him to a "child molester" -- because it worked. Carson said, "You have to admit to a degree that it did work." He continued, "A lot of people believed him." ...

Today at Breitbart "News' we find self-hating malevolent misogynist weirdo Milo Yiannopoulos attacking Bill Nye, presumably because he's a strong advocate for science and against climate change denial, and anyone who writes for Breitbart has to be upset at people like this. It's their business model. Yiannopoulos titles his ridiculously dishonest ...

YouTube Bryan Fischer has a theory about dinosaurs, and it is his theory, which is his, even though he's "not a scientist or whatever." It's a really good theory, based on the Bible of course, because what else do you need to know? If the Bible says Methuselah was a thousand years ...

Albert H. Teich / Shutterstock.com This Politico report looks very bad for the creationist neurosurgeon, as one of the key details in his much-hyped story of personal redemption seems to have been fabricated. The academy has occupied a central place in Carson’s tale for years. According to a story told in ...

YouTube Creationist Ken Ham has a new take on gay marriage; he's worried that if everyone abandons the idea that the Bible is literal historical fact, and accepts same sex marriage, people will just stop wearing clothes. Because why not? What's to stop us? Here comes the nude apocalypse, people.

MSNBC It's still a little shocking to me how extreme and irrational the Republican Party has become, and folksy soft-spoken creationist Ben Carson is a great example. He's not a bomb-throwing insult-spewing loon like Donald Trump, but Carson is possibly even more extreme in his opinions and positions -- and in ...

YouTube It never fails. In every single Republican campaign, all the candidates claim God Himself intended for them to be president. And then, when they lose, they never even try to explain why God misled them like that. Maybe God has a nasty sense of humor and is just playing pranks ...

Anne Power / Shutterstock.com Republican presidential candidates are competing to see who can say the most heartless, reprehensible things today about the gun massacre at Oregon's Umpqua Community College. First, Ben Carson blamed the victims for not defending themselves. And now, Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal (a creationist like Ben Carson), has issued a ...

YouTube Republican presidential candidate (and young Earth creationist) Ben Carson went on Fox & Friends this morning and actually blamed the victims of the Oregon shooting for not doing enough to protect themselves.

Like all the Republican candidates (and in fact, nearly all Republican politicians), young Earth creationist Dr. Ben Carson advocates defunding Planned Parenthood. He told Fox News's Megyn Kelly recently that medical research can be conducted without the use of fetal tissue, saying the Planned Parenthood "sting" videos make him question ...

If you've read Little Green Footballs much, you know I'm no fan of former Texas Governor Rick Perry and his brand of "aw shucks" reactionary conservatism. He's a creationist, he's a religious fanatic, he's rabidly anti-choice, he spews anti-Muslim bigotry on cue like most Republicans. In short, he's a prototypical ...

In 2008, I wrote about the awful stealth creationist bill signed into law by Republican Governor Bobby Jindal, and predicted it would lead to a giant step backward for science education. It gives me no joy to report, via Zack Kopplin (who's doing an awesome job of bringing this awfulness to ...

While Ken Ham's Noah's Ark theme park is breaking apart on the reefs of Kentucky government regulations, a new plot is afloat to move the whole shebang to Louisiana.

You may think you know how crazy young Earth creationist Dr. Ben Carson is, but you probably don't know that he actually thinks he's been contacted by God Himself, in a dream.

Good grief. There's so much idiocy about climate change coming from conservatives today it boggles the mind (and we all know how painful that can be).
