Physicist Jerry Jellison has posted a scathing review of creationist Walt Brown's book, “In the Beginning: Compelling Evidence for Creation and the Flood (8th Edition)” (Amazon). The critique, titled "Wrong, and I can prove it", can be found towards the bottom of the page or can be directly accessed here.
Jerry talks predominantly about the geological evidence, but he does discuss Brown's bizarre claim about the heat of accelerated radioactive decay being launched into space!
As with many pseudo-scientific claims, Brown's model is justified by computations and computer programs that are not available for testing or examination by other researchers.
This site is the blogging component for my main site Crank Astronomy (formerly "Dealing with Creationism in Astronomy"). It will provide a more interactive component for discussion of the main site content. I will also use this blog to comment on work in progress for the main site, news events, and other pseudoscience-related issues.
