Ada, MI : Baker Books, 2016. 288 pages. Hardbound. Price: $17.99 ISBN: 0801016894 9780801016899

Expected publication date: September 6, 2016

Summary: Most of us remember the basics from science classes about how Earth came to be the only known planet that sustains complex life. But what most people don’t know is that the more thoroughly researchers investigate the history of our planet, the more astonishing the story of our existence becomes. The number and complexity of the astronomical, geological, chemical, and biological features recognized as essential to human existence have expanded explosively within the past decade. An understanding of what is required to make possible a large human population and advanced civilizations has raised profound questions about life, our purpose, and our destiny. Are we really just the result of innumerable coincidences? Or is there a more reasonable explanation?

This fascinating book helps nonscientists understand the countless miracles that undergird the exquisitely fine-tuned planet we call home–as if Someone had us in mind all along.

Simon Brown, Assistant Director of Communications at Americans United

      Comments Off on Simon Brown, Assistant Director of Communications at Americans United

simonbrownOne would think that someone working as Assistant Director of Communications at Americans United for Separation of Church and State would do a modicum of research before publishing an article! Especially with such an impressive resume as this:

Before joining Americans United, Simon was a reporter for Tax Notes, where he covered tax issues for nonprofits and wrote numerous stories on church politicking. Earlier in his career, Simon was a sports writer and he covered a range of sports from professional baseball to professional squash. Simon has a master’s degree in journalism from Northwestern University and a bachelor’s degree from Brandeis University. He is from Richmond, Virginia.

Simon is the author of a blog hit piece published on the AU website: Museum Misadventure: Ky. Elementary School Takes Students To Ken Ham’s Creationist Exhibition. He’s totally outraged over an event, that occurred in 2012, he only found out about while trolling the Nasty Atheist’s blog. One wonders why the Nasty Atheist only found out last week about this four year old school field trip to the Creation Museum. After all, he writes more about Ken Ham and the Creation Museum than about atheism! Over 247 blog posts about Ken Ham alone. Can anyone spell “stalker”?

But, getting back to his partner in crime, Simon Brown… Like many AU employees and supporters, fact checking is too much work. Don’t bother coming to the Creation Museum, just make up stuff. Obviously Simon Brown considers Kentucky “fly-over country” and flunked geography. He says:

“Perfect” belongs in quotes, here, because Lee County Elementary in Petersburg, Ky., has a rather flexible definition of perfection: students could miss one day of school and still qualify for flawless attendance.

Lee County Elementary is in Lee County, Kentucky. It’s actually called Southside Elementary–there are two elementary schools in Lee County. And, the Creation Museum is in Petersburg in Boone County, Kentucky. Southside Elementary is located 150 miles away. Hey, Brown, I guess “perfection” can be rather flexible by atheist & AU standards when you’re lying for Darwin.

One thing we can be absolutely certainly of: Simon Brown, Americans United, and the Nasty Atheist are very concerned with the education of Lee County school children!
