Every once in a while, I read something that’s so ridiculous that I can’t help but blog about it. Today, that happened to be a “FaithWorld” article from the Reuters Blog. Despite the fact that FaithWorld tends to regard faith as a foolish thing, this particular post was supposed to explain how they remain neutral when reporting on faith matters, specifically when talking about evolution.

In that very article, they drop a statement like this one, “All serious scientists accept evolution as a fact because of the overwhelming and verifiable evidence that supports it.” If you haven’t noticed, this is question-begging. 1) We’re neutral (even when we talk about evolution) because we differentiate between faith and scientific fact. 2) Evolution is scientific fact, thus 3) we’re neutral if we always paint evolution as truth.

The very assertion that all “serious” scientists regard evolution as fact is ludicrous. Absolutely ludicrous, and about as biased as you can get–their support of this statement is a book written by an evolutionist. And yet, here it is, in an article intended to explain how journalistically neutral they are.

It doesn’t help their case when a few posts later they’re writing about the so-called “God particle,” and they write the following:

“We usually report about scientists who say there is no God and ridicule those who believe in Him.”
