Here is where Milwaukee answers back the creationist claims of local groups affecting southeastern Wisconsin. This includes the Midwest Creation Fellowship, and the Creation Science Society of Milwaukee. M.E.L. seeks to provide a more rational, balanced voice to those who mistakenly think evolution is evil, or somehow supports immorality.
Well, as it turns out, I was unable to attend John Baumgardner's talk in Whitewater. These days, I'm working for MadScience, doing science demonstrations for kids, and there was a schedule conflict. Lucky for him, since I don't think he has an adequate response for my question about why he didn't use quartz crystal as a control for his R.A.T.E. experiment.

Well, no sooner do I publish a blog which is critical of Dr. John Baumgardner than he decides to show up here in Wisconsin. He's speaking at the University of Wisconsin in Whitewater, 3:00PM on April 15th, Hyland Hall, room 1000. I have every intention of going there to hear him speak, and asking him face-to-face why he didn't use a quartz crystal in his evaluation of radio-carbon-neutral samples such as coal and diamond. I'll let you know what he says.
