"Geology will survive creationist undermining," according to a recent commentary by Steven Newton in New Scientist. Newton is Programs and Policy Director for the National Center for Science Education (NCSE), a nonprofit advocacy group based in Oakland, California, that is dedicated to censoring academic freedom and promoting evolution-only teaching in public schools.

Today, the Institute for Creation Research debuts a new series of online video shorts called That's a Fact. The show is aimed at delivering fascinating facts about science, the Bible, and more in an entertaining manner…in two minutes or less.

Appealing to public emotions is a tool employed by politicians, media, and anyone trying to win supporters for a specific agenda.
