It's finally here. With apologies again, allow me to launch into the four (so appropriate, eh?) entries I received for this fourth installment of The Scian Melt.
First up is a lament of sorts by Patrix on his fine blog Nerve Endings Firing Away. And are they ever! Patrix finds the Cobb County School System has succumbed to a form of idiocy; insisting that evolution, or the theory behind it is only that a theory and that creationism, based largely on a Judeo-Christian belief of the world really is the only answer.
Continuing in this vein of science versus religion is Sandeep‘s post coincidentally titled, The Science Vs Religion Battle. Sandeep suggests that the age of rationale, independent thought, especially on college campuses is in the crosshairs of the ultra conservative propagandists. Dare to discuss a controversial topic and you will be forever branded a rabblerouser and summarily ejected from the system.
On a lighter note, Prashant Mullick has a lucid explanation of how we perceive colors in the sky.
Lastly, continuing to keep our eye to the starry sky one blogger who goes by Broodingdood has some truly fantastic plans for India's odyssey to the moon. Arthur C. Clarke would be proud.
The next Melt will be hosted by Patrix on or around December 25.
