Jan 2, 2015: Shadow to Light: Jerry Coyne Accuses University Chancellor of Breaking the Law

Jan 6, 2014: New York Times: The Confidence of Jerry Coyne
One of the problems with belonging to a faction that’s convinced it’s on the winning side of intellectual history is that it becomes easy to persuade oneself that one’s own worldview has no weak points whatsoever, no internal contradictions or ragged edges, no cracks through which a critic’s wedge could end up driven.

June 2013: God of Evolution: The Discovery Institute needs your help! (To make people think their book is good!)
