Phil Plait: In my weekly Q & BA live video chat session on Google+, I answer the question, "What would happen to the human body exposed to the vacuum and cold of space?" The answer, it turns out, is pretty icky, but very different than the way Hollywood movies portray it.

So Close to Jesus
As Tim Tebow has relentlessly reminded us, religion is just a competition to show how much closer you are to your deity than everyone else. But nobody is closer to Jesus than America's Best Christian, Mrs. Betty Bowers.
Origins Of Us - Bones
Dr Alice Roberts reveals how your body tells the story of human evolution. The way you look, think and behave is a product of a 6 million year struggle for survival. We have uncovered the secrets of the atom and travelled to the moon. But how did humans come to be so successful?
This series explores the anatomical changes that have given us, and our ancestors, the edge. Everything from the way that we walk, to the shape of our jaw and even the way our thumbs move connects us intimately to the struggles and triumphs of our ancestors. Yet many of those changes have come at a surprising cost and the problems we face now are a direct consequence of our evolutionary journey. As much about our bodies today as about our bodies 6 million years ago, Origins of Us will change the way you see yourself.

Mat Staver: The APA Bullies Ex-Gay Proponents
Mat Staver says that gay activists and the American Psychological Association bully researchers and therapists who promote "ex-gay" therapy.
Liberty Counsel. Faith & Freedom
It's just like in 1973 when the homosexual lobby pressured the American Psychological Association to declassify homosexuality as a mental disorder. From that point on, there has been an outright political opposition to any research on the fact that homosexuality is a condition that you can change, it is not static, it is not wired in your system where it is unchangeable, that you can change. Any researcher that wants to pursue that kind of research or even counsel in that kind of research is bullied by the APA and those professional organization.
