Too bad I can’t attend this conference on astronomy and creationism. I’d love to go and see what these guys have to say (although I can guess, since I’ve read several antiscience essays and a book by creationist Hugh Ross, one of the speakers and whose organization, Reasons to Believe, is sponsoring the event).
Why can’t I go? Because just a few days later I’ll be in St. Louis, at the American Association of the Advancement of Science annual meeting, where I’ll be on a panel of scientists talking about the current creationist attack on science.
