Private jets are very prestigious, but it is difficult to avoid the hypocrisy of using one while claiming to be fighting climate change,” environmental activist Matt Finch told the newspaper. Heads of states and other leaders from across the globe were among the private jet-setters – from … Read More

5 years ago

The world first started to hear about a novel coronavirus in early January 2020, with reports of an alleged new pneumonia-like illness spreading across Wuhan, China. However, the world did not actually know of Covid-19 until February 2020, because it was not until the 11th of that month that the World Health Organization officially named the novel coronavirus disease; Covid-19.

On November 12th, 2014, the European Space Agency, staged a mock celebration of the alleged landing of the Philae Lander on a comet, after the Rosetta spacecraft had supposedly been orbiting the comet – or so the story goes. The Rosetta spacecraft was sent out into space in 2004 for the purpose of landing on Comet 67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko. The immediate response from most people around the globe was, ‘That’s a great feat!’ Of course it would have been… if it actually happened; but the fact of the matter is, … Read More

Epperson v. Arkansas: The U.S. Supreme Court Ruled that a Law Prohibiting the Teaching of Evolution in Tax-Supported Schools is Unconstitutional

56 years ago

The evolution controversy did not come before the U.S. Supreme Court until Epperson v. Arkansas,[39] a 1968 challenge to the constitutionality of an Arkansas statute prohibiting the teaching of evolution.[40] By this time, the nonestablishment clause had been applied to the states, and in this case the Jeffersonian and Madisonian view of that clause carried the day. In other words, the challenge to the Arkansas law was successful because the case was seen as a dispute between religion and science. An amicus brief in Epperson demonstrated to the … Read More
