Bryan Fischer’s Amazing Refutation of Darwin

Bryan Fischer is a knucklehead who is the public face of the American Family Association. Ed Brayton highlights typical Fischer-esque thinking, in this case Fischer’s refutation of evolution.

See if you can follow the “logic”,

But Paul’s point is: Death did not enter into the world until sin came in, and sin came in through Adam. So before Adam, there was no death. Now, if evolution is right… you’d have to have literally millions of years where there was death. Death in the animal kingdom, and death in the human kingdom. You’d have to have millions of years of people being born and people dying.

And yet the scriptures are very clear: Death entered into the world through sin, and sin entered into the world through Adam. No sin, no death. Prior to Adam, there was no death. So evolution cannot possibly be true. It’s just a matter of theological fact.

Oh my.

Last.FM to CSV Service

Benjamin Ben Ben has written an excellent tool that will grab a user’s Last.FM scrobbles and output them as a CSV file for further manipulation.

The nice thing is that he has made this available as a very straightforward web page where you put in a Last.FM username and a few minutes later you’re prompted to download the CSV file.

Apparently I started using Last.FM on December 8, 2008 and in the intervening 6 years have managed to scrobble 38,600 tracks (these days it helps that Spotify has built-in scrobbling).
