Science and Math Defeated

Science and Math Defeated is one of the most idiotic blogs on the internet. It is run and contributed to by an individual known as "notedscholar", which is unusual as he is both hardly notable and barely scholarly.
It's safe to say that the only thing being defeated here is the pretense that notedscholar or anyone who thinks he's credible passed elementery school paid any attention whatsoever to a single math or science lesson in their lives. The blog became inactive in June 2019, with the last post being about fish breathing in water.Fake Fish: Breathing Edition by notedscholar (June 8, 2019) Science and Math Defeated A post was made in 2023 "explainng" the absence.Reason for my absense by notedscholar (July 20 2023)Science and Math Defeated

Among their 100% organic, chemical-free stupidity are:

and let's not forget kook ideas about:

...which make those of us trained in even basic mathematics that went to school wince.And, most damning of all, denies the utility present in those mathematics and gives us instead the advice to follow a system that, from a mathematical standpoint, is pretty damn useless for anything that requires more complexity than a boolean. Numerous refutations of the "proofs" and "logic" used in the blog exist around the Internet and sometimes in the blog's comments section, but the stupidity of it matches Time cube, so it is not subject to the stopped clock effect and is not even wrong.
A 2009 posting (that was locked from comments when it was written) indicates that notedscholar is almost certainly a Poe.Professor Kent Hovind completes doctoral thesis under PZ Myers by notedscholar (December 11, 2009) Science and Math Defeated.
==Pigeon chess with PZ Myers==
Seemingly oblivious to the nature of mutation, notedscholar claims "PZ Myers descended into a Twitter rant/meltdown regarding NS"PZ Myers responds to my critique of evolution, ignores current research by Klingenberg by notedscholar 	(October 2, 2015) Science and Math Defeated.
The gist of NS's position is that no mutant could ever attract a mate, making offspring impossible. In fact, the overwhelming majority of mutations are neutral. They do not affect an individual's fitness to occupy its niche. Furthermore, unless they are as obvious as five-eyed fish, very few "mutants" are even slightly disadvantaged in the mating game.

NS took an unusual path in hating on RationalWiki, "Losers at RationalWiki want a piece of my pageviews".Losers at RationalWiki want a piece of my pageviews by notedscholar (January 19, 2009) Science and Math Defeated.
==Poe?==
Science and Math Defeated is a prime example of Poe's law. It so outlandish very few people can believe that it is anywhere near genuine, especially when it contains carefully-polished gems like:
