Bad Astronomy

Bad Astronomer Phil Plait

Another must visit fun science site is Bad Astronomy created by author and astronomer Phil Plait the Bad Astronomer and champion of reality. Not only does he post great science articles but he also makes informative entries in his capacity as a tireless campaigner against the nuttier elements of society. The insanity of the anti-vaccination morons, Young Earth Creationists and the numbskulls who deny man ever landed on the moon are subjected to a healthy dose of reality and are soundly debunked by the Bad Astronomer.

Phil Plait comes across as a friendly and enthusiastic communicator who desires only that mankind continues in its adventure into realms scientific, for the benefit of all. To that end, he rightly reveals the harm that idiotic thinking and slavish devotion to senseless ideas and ideals, for which there exists not the slightest shred of evidence, can cause. Unmissable truth. It’s what the web’s for.

Pharyngula

PZ Myers

Biologist PZ Myers, that’s Pee Zee not Pee Zed, runs the Pharyngula blog and it’s updated daily with interesting posts on matters not only of a scientific and biological bent but also posts about atheism and the fundamentalist right-wing Christian elements that seem to proliferate in America. As an educator, he takes a special interest in the doings of the morons that harm the educational well being of the USA.

But whether of a scientific nature or of a political/religious nature, the posts are always a thoroughly good read. One of the best parts of the blog is the comments section for each post where many of the commenters are regulars and are renowned for their wisdom and humour, sometimes in the face of extremely trying obduracy from fundamentalists who infest the comments.

I have spent hours lurking in the comments section enjoying myself and maybe that means I’ve too much time on my hands, but it’s so easy to be hooked into reading on and on.

PZ Myers himself comes across as a humane and intelligent man who, nevertheless, does not suffer fools and who seemingly miraculously always manages to come up with interesting material every day. Get over there.
