According to the study, people who said they were a "born-again" Protestant or Catholic, or conversely, those who had no religious affiliation, had more hippocampal shrinkage (or "atrophy") compared to people who identified themselves as Protestants, but not born-again.

Memo to self: Get  MRI scan and pick a religious affiliation if result is alarming.

The study seems to say that the atrophy is stress related. Fortunately, where I live not being religious is default, so no stress whatsoever.

I think we need a "reddit shittyaskscience" vs uncommondescent quiz. Designer vs. unintended tard:

"DNA must be transcribed to RNA. This involves an extremely complex “machine” called the transcriptome."

"If we evolved from apes, why do I have canine teeth?"

You decide...

Shitty ask science....much lol

Something to occupy our minds after the death of UD.

Man, I just got finished with this at Phrangulya...


First, this list is in regards to the standardized test, NOT the curriculum or the text books or that kind of thing.

Two, for us assessment people, there are some ways around these kinds of lists.  For example, note that 'common descent', 'natural selection', 'cladograms', etc are not on the list.  So we can't use the "E" word.  Speciation would probably work too.

Three, many of these concepts, regardless of the truth or not, are upsetting to students.  This can badly skew the test results and something no one wants is a kid freaking out in the middle of a test.  Yes, it's correct science.  Yes, life is hard and kids need to be aware of it.  But it's still a bad idea to talk about Little Johnny's grandmother dying of leukemia.  In a state like New York, there's guaranteed to be at least a few kids whose beloved grandmother just died and we need to prevent an emotional reaction to the test.

Four, trust me, as a science specialist in the assessment industry, there is no way that creationism will get on the tests.  Ain't gonna happen and I don't know anyone who would try it.  I'm somewhat known as the 'evolution' expert in my company, so I get calls about "does this make sense" and "is this right" in regards to evolution-based questions.  

In fact, (I just checked), New York standards have evolution as a major key idea with 12 sub-topics.

So, I think it really is more about avoiding emotionally charged issues in a testing environment rather than trying to eliminate evolution.

Hell, I didn't even read the headlines... or the article.  I get all my news from Comedy Central.  (sad, but true)

Everyone wants to vilify testing.  Of course, they don't use it for what it's intended for.  I guess, when all you have is a bat, everything looks like a kneecap.

Ogre,

I've got a question that maybe you can answer.  Our lovely state has been field testing the new STAAR exams (and keeping me from having any days to teach).  Since the kids know it doesn't count, many of them have put zero effort into doing it.  For example, one coach at a recent academic competition told me half his class raised their hands that they were finished immediately after he finished the instructions.  Is there actually some way to get useful data out of that, or are they just wasting our time?

Nope, if the students don't take it seriously, then it's a waste of effort.

It should be readily obvious to the statisticians too.  

STAAR is an End-Of-Course test right?  In that case (and this is just my opinion), I'd like to see students get no credit for the course until they pass the test.

If students pass the test, the first time in early April, then they are done with that class and can go home.  If not, then teachers use the results of the test to develop tutorials aimed at those students and test again in 4 weeks or so.  (BTW: I'm working on a project that will allow much greater detail in determining why a student got a question wrong, allowing a more refined tutorial program.

EOC tests test the curriculum, so if teachers are 'teaching to the test', then they are teaching the curriculum... unlike the TAKS in which 3 entire years of curriculum were boiled down into 8 questions, 4 of which were always of the same type... which could be taught.

I don't know if that answers your question though...

It looks as though joe is either making death threats or he is going to become an atheist activist. The latter is much less likely.

It does thanks.  I'm both excited and nervous about the EOCs.  Excited for the reasons you listed.  Nervous because I can imagine how the admins will torture us in new and exciting ways.

Hmm, well If Joe achieves something then I'll go with that.

So, Joe, when you have your own personal Wikipedia page documenting what you've done then I'll consider you in the same league as O'Hair re: achievements.

You won't be, no doubt, but just for the sake of argument. You have to achieve a certain threshhold to get your own page, whatever it's for, so seems reasonable to me that if you achieve only a fraction of any notable activist you'll get a page.

So, Joe, your move.  Heck, I'll even start it!

Let me know when you achieve something Joe. And I don't mean getting off the pot.

I'm all for a Wikipedia page devoted to joe. It could be titled: The arrogance, stupidity, and cowardice of a tick infested, basement dwelling, loud-mouthed, incorrigible, muslim, creationist IDiot. :D

joe is playing some kind of game with the references to O'Hair. It's strange that he would bring her up unless he is planning on kidnapping, torturing, murdering, and dismembering some atheists. If he's got some other plan up his sleeve I would think that he could find a more appropriate person to refer to.

joe likes to claim that he is working on something that will scientifically refute "Darwinism" once and for all, but of course he never reveals what it is. He also likes to claim that he would easily crush "Darwinism" in a courtroom, and that all he needs is the chance to do so. Maybe his plan is to take "Darwinism" to the supreme court and have it outlawed, and then to somehow become ruler of the world, and then to force sharia law on everyone, and then to kidnap, torture, murder, and dismember all atheists.

Whatever he's planning, I'm sure it will be laughable, IF he ever reveals it.

I think it's simply that he wants people to think "death threats" but when called on it he'll simply say that's not at all what he meant, how could you think such a thing?

Even slimy sal read it as a threat:

By the way Nick, now you’ve had a chance to taste how we in the ID community perceive the behavior from your side of the ailse. Evolutionary biologists like Coyne and Dawkins aren’t as objective, dispassionate, and fair with the facts are they?

Hang out with us. We may disagree, but at least for myself I won’t stoop so low as your GNU “friends”.
   

Sal — you’ve been acting OK in this particular thread, but for years you’ve been famous amongst us evolution-debaters for any number of creationist shenanigans which were vile or idiotic if taken seriously, and juvenile/unserious/unprofessional if taken as jokes. Start with various quote mines of Darwin and others, then move over to junk like the “Darwin beat a puppy” story removed of context, then move to your refusal to acknowledge reality even on ultra-simple matters like the age of the Earth, and finally the Darwin-Nazi stuff — and that’s just what I remember off the top of my head. You’ve got a lot of work to do before you’re going to convince us that you are serious, constructive, and nice person, or even one who actually follows what are supposed to be Christian values in your online persona.
