Et tu, LGF?

The first blog I read with any regularity was Little Green Footballs (LGF). Its creator, Charles Johnson, was moved by the events of 9/11 and began blogging on world and political issues. He has been very watchful of the slow creep of Islam into the Western world, as well as the unwillingness of many politicians to deal with it honestly. He also has been very critical of the bias of mainstream media, which, as Joseph Farah points out, is hardly mainstream. Particularly when these two issues met, for example, in the Lebanon-Israel crisis, LGF was a very worthwhile read.

So it was very disappointing to me to see Johnson's recent attacks on creation and defenders of a young earth. In fact, it seems that this has become somewhat of a regular theme on the blog. Thankfully, someone is putting up a fight.

Creation Ministries International, another great read which I recently added to my list of RSS feeds, refutes claims from two of the LGF posts, and has much more great content.
