'''COVID-19 early treatment: real-time analysis''' je sieť stránok, ktorá sa snaží zhŕňať všetky možné dostupné štúdie o potenciálnych liekoch, ktoré vedci skúšajú proti covidu. Autori sa snažia ohúriť číslami a štatistikami, vyrábajú pekné farebné obrázky a nabádajú laickú verejnosť, aby ich šírila cez sociálne médiá. Bohužiaľ, anonymní autori, jemne povedané, zjavne '''nie sú''' odborníci v danej problematike. Podľa článku v prestížnom vedeckom časopise BMJ<ref name="bmj">[https://ebm.bmj.com/content/early/2021/05/26/bmjebm-2021-111678 Misleading clinical evidence and systematic reviews on ivermectin for COVID-19], Garegnani, Madrid, Meza, BMJ, 22.4.2021</ref> sa autori snažia robiť metaanalýzy "bez toho, aby sa riadili akýmikoľvek metodickými usmerneniami" a "takéto metaanalýzy bez dôslednej, systematickej kontroly často vedú k šíreniu falošných alebo mylných zistení".

Can You Believe in God and Evolution?: A Guide for the Perplexed

{{christianity}}{{title-italics}}
'''''Can You Believe in God and Evolution?: A Guide for the Perplexed''''' is a Christian [[theistic evolution]] book written  by theologian Ted Peters and molecular [[biologist]] Martinez Hewlett, Professor Emeritus of Molecular and Cellular Biology at the University of [[Arizona]] in Tucson. It was published by Abingdon Press in 2006.<ref>[http://www.plts.edu/peters.html Profile for Ted Peters] also see [http://www.mcb.arizona.edu/hewlett/biog.html Profile for Martinez Hewlett]</ref> It has nothing to do with [[Maimonides]]' ''The Guide for the Perplexed''.

==Book description==

In the book the authors reject [[creationism]] as unscientific but also reject [[atheism]] and instead advocate a form of [[theistic evolution]] where [[God]] has designed and programmed evolution, which they propose was built into the [[Big Bang]] so that the process unfolds over time in a guided formation eventually leading to [[consciousness]].<ref>[http://admin.cmf.org.uk/pdf/helix/2008easter/41bookreviews.pdf Book Review]</ref> The main claim in the book by the authors is that [[evolution]] and a belief in the [[Christian]] God is compatible.<ref>[http://thewell.cor.org/books/theology/can-you-believe-in-god-and-evolution-a-guide-for-the-perplexed.html Can You Believe in God and Evolution? A Guide for the Perplexed]</ref>

The book was released in 2010 in an updated edition in celebration of the 200th birthday of [[Charles Darwin]].<ref>[http://www.kobobooks.com/ebook/Can-You-Believe-God-Evolution/book-GmSy-kMvEUCRTU3nR5_Y2Q/page1.html 2010 Edition of the book]</ref>

==Reception==

Some Christians have rejected the book and have written that the position of the authors is in opposition to the [[Bible]]. Other reviewers have written that the authors have an interesting model and that it is an important book for anyone interested in [[theistic evolution]].<ref>[http://www.doesgodexist.org/NovDec07/Peters_Hewlett_books.html Book Review by a Christian]</ref><ref>[http://www.directionjournal.org/article/?1519 Can You Believe in God and Evolution?

Canaan

{{biblenav}}
'''Canaan''' is 
{{wpl|Canaan, Connecticut|a town in Connecticut}}
 the early [[Bible|Biblical]] name for the land that would later be called [[Israel]], and then [[Palestine]], and is now Israel again.

According to [[Genesis]], [[Abraham]] and his family originally lived in Canaan. However, [[Jacob]] (Israel) and his sons moved to [[Egypt]] to take advantage of [[Joseph (Old Testament)|Joseph]]'s high place there. By the time of [[Exodus]], however, the descendants of Israel had all been enslaved. 
[[Charlton Heston]]
 [[Moses]] came along and led them into the Sinai Desert. Eventually, they came back to Canaan, finding it fully populated with people already.

After this, Canaan became a fairly bloody place. The [[Israelite]]s fought the Moabites, the [[Amalekites]], and everyone else in their way. At various times, various nearby empires attacked as well. This is not too different from now, actually.

{{bible|Deuteronomy|20|16|18}} claimed that the people of Canaan were annihilated. This is false: recently analyzed [[DNA]] evidence shows instead that the Canaanites left many descendants.<ref>[https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/speaking-of-science/wp/2017/07/27/ancient-dna-solves-mystery-of-the-canaanites-reveals-the-biblical-peoples-fate/?utm_term=.89321385d667 Ancient DNA solves mystery of the Canaanites, reveals the biblical people’s fate] by Ben Guarino (July 27, 2017) ''The Washington Post''.</ref><ref>{{cite journal|last=Haber|first|title=Continuity and Admixture in the Last Five Millennia of Levantine History from Ancient Canaanite and Present-Day Lebanese Genome Sequences|date=July 27, 2017|url=http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.ajhg.2017.06.013.|journal=The American Journal of Human Genetics}}</ref>

Canada Free Press

[[File:Canada Free Press.jpg|thumb|In case you haven't guessed, this is their logo.]]
{{media}}
'''Canada 
Un
Free Press (CFP)''' is a [[wingnut]] "news" and commentary website that appears to be a [[Canada|Canadian]] version of [[WND|WingNutDaily]], except somehow even crazier. According to their "about us" page:
{{cquote|Canada Free Press (CFP) is a proudly independent, 24/7 electronic newspaper, updating several times a day, and sometimes every several hours. More than 100 writers and columnists file regularly to CFP from all corners of the globe.

Although we have been posting to the Internet for more than 14 years, on May 15, 2010 CFP celebrated its sixth anniversary as a daily.

Espousing [[Conservative]] viewpoints, cornerstone of which contain love of [[God]], love of family, love of country, CFP maintains a loyal and growing readership.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20090724110735/http://www.canadafreepress.com/index.php/About-us/ Canada Free Press: About Us]</ref>}}
For a Canadian site, they seem to have an odd fetish for [[United States|American]] [[nationalism]]. They peddle all the wingnuts' usual [[pseudoscience]]s, such as [[creationism]], [[global warming denial]], and [[abstinence]] and [[abortion]]-related nonsense. Two of their environment "reporters" are lobbyist [[Steve Milloy]] and general [[crank]] [[Alan Caruba]], a promoter of [[Robert W. Felix]]'s brand of insanity as well his own. They also promote [[birtherism]].

CFP has also scrubbed a number of columns that apparently went too far even for them. After [[Tim Ball]], one of their favorite sources for commentary on global warming, was sued for libel by two climatologists, they removed the offending material and took down a number of other columns he wrote. Judi McLeod, one of the founding editors, co-authored a brilliantly deranged column implicating a [[United Nations]]-backed [[global warming conspiracy]], [[Harry Reid]], and the mob as the perpetrators of [[9/11]], which was later scrubbed.<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20050808081842/http://www.canadafreepress.com/2005/cover071105.htm 9/11 and the Mob], Judi McLeod and David Hawkins (Wayback Machine copy)</ref>

Canadian atheists

[[File:Canadian atheists logo.png|thumb|right|165px|Canadian atheists<br>True, Northern, Strong, and Free]]{{atheism}}'''Canadian  <strike>ehtheists</strike> atheists''' is a federally-incorporated (national) atheism organization in [[Canada]] that provides information about atheism and advocates for [[rights]], [[freedom]]s, and the general well-being of atheists both in Canada and internationally.  They encourage peaceful advocacy, and have a desire to participate in public discourse as a means of engaging in the free exchange of ideas with a particular focus on atheism and [[secular]] issues like the [[Separation of church and state|separation of religion from government]].

==History==
The Canadian atheists was founded in 2014 by Randolf Richardson (intentionally spelling "atheists" with a lower-case "a"), and subsequently incorporated federally two years later (in 2016) to serve the ever-increasing atheist demographic of the Canadian population by advocating for the rights and freedoms of atheists and educating the general public on the meaning of the word "atheism".

==Advocacy==
Some of the initial advocacy included the promotion of, and participation in, domestic campaigns encouraging the Canadian Government to start [[tax]]ing religious institutions, and to remove antiquated and outdated anti-[[blasphemy]] legislation from the Canadian Criminal Code, and also an international campaign to encourage [[Muslim]]-majority societies to uphold Freedom of Expression rights (as a positive alternative to killing people who openly question religion or publicly identify as atheists).

Canard

[[File:JAS39_Gripen.svg|thumb|left|165px|A Saab Gripen, with canards right behind the pilot.]]
[[File:Duck001.jpg|thumb|165px|A fine specimen of canard.]]{{logic}}
In common usage, a '''canard''' is a [[Bullshit|''deliberately'' false]] or ungrounded story, normally used to back up an otherwise [[Bullshit|unfounded]] argument. Examples of this include the contention that [[Holocaust denial|Jews faked the Holocaust]], [[George W. Bush]] [[9/11 conspiracy theories|deliberately planned 9/11]], or that the [[liberal media|media is involved in a left-wing conspiracy]]. Quite appropriately, [[Quackery|quacks]] love using them.

In [[anti-science]] and [[hard-right]] [[conservative]] usage, illustrated on sites such as [[WorldNetDaily]] and [[Free Republic]], a canard is any frequently used [[argument]] that damages their credibility, and for which one has no credible response, or is unwilling to attempt to counter.  Examples of this usage include pre-Cambrian rabbits not falsifying [[evolution]].  Another classic conservative canard is that "[[Reaganism|the government can never do anything as well or as efficiently as private concerns can]]."

"Canard" happens to be [[French]] for [[Bird|duck]]. In aircraft design, it also refers to a type of control surface mounted in front of the wing (as opposed to conventional horizontal stabilizers situated behind the wings), which someone a long time ago thought was ducklike. ([[European]] aircraft manufacturers such as Dassault and Saab, as well as fans of Burt Rutan's plane designs, are particularly fond of them, and [[Russian]] aircraft manufacturer Sukhoi decided to use both canards ''and'' horizontal stabilizers in one design.)

==Other uses==
*"Mon canard" (literally: "My duck") is a French term of endearment.<ref>[http://french.about.com/od/vocabulary/a/love_2.htm French Terms of Endearment]</ref>
*The word "canard" in French is also an old slang word meaning "newspaper". Similarly, the [[German]] term Ente (duck) or "Zeitungsente" (literally: "newspaper duck") is used for factually incorrect newspaper articles, both intentionally false and accidentally mistaken ones.
*"Canard" in French ''also'' derives from the Old French term ''"Caner"'', meaning "to quack".  From this, we may derive our favourite term for a fraudulent doctor: a "[[Quack]]".  (This story is deliberate Quackery in and of itself, but it sounds good, doesn't it?)

Canard (português)

{{LangBlock|pt|}}
[[File:JAS39_Gripen.svg|thumb|left|165px|O caça Saab Gripen, com seus canards a direita do piloto.]]
[[File:Duck001.jpg|thumb|165px|Um belo canard.]]{{logic}}
Em seu uso comum, um '''canard''' é uma história [[Bullshit|''deliberadamente'' falsa]] ou obscura, normalmente usada para dar suporte a outros  argumentos [[Bullshit|infundados]]. Exemplos incluem alegações que [[Holocaust denial|Judeus falsificaram o Holocausto]], [[George W. Bush]] [[9/11|planejou o 11 de setembro]], ou que a [[liberal media|mídia está envolvida com conspirações de esquerda]]. 

Em seu uso pela [[Antiscience|anticiência]] e pela [[Far right|extrema-direita]] [[Conservativism|conservadora]], visto em sites como o [[WorldNetDaily]] e o [[Free Republic]], um canard é qualquer [[argumento]] frequentemente utilizado para estragar sua credibilidade, a qual não tem resposta, ou não vale a pena contra-atacar.  Exemplos desse uso incluem coelhos pré-cambrianos não negando a [[evolução]]. Outro clássico canard conservador é que "[[Reaganism|o governo nunca pode fazer nada tão bem ou eficiente quanto as empresas privadas podem]]."

"Canard" é uma palavra em [[French|francês]] para [[bird|pato]]. No design de aeronaves, também se refere a um tipo de controle de superfície montado na frente da asa (ao oposto aos estabilizadores convencionais atrás das asas), que alguém há muito tempo pensou que fosse parecido com um pato. Fabricantes de aeronaves [[European|europeias]] como a Dassault e a Saab, e fãs dos designs de avião de Burt Rutan, gostam particularmente dele. A fabricante de aeronaves [[Russia|russas]] Sukhoi decidiu usar ao mesmo tempo canards ''e'' estabilizadores horizontais em um só design.

==Outros usos==
*"Mon canard" (literalmente: "Meu pato") é um termo francês para carinho.<ref>[http://french.about.com/od/vocabulary/a/love_2.htm French Terms of Endearment]</ref>
*A palavra "canard" em francês também é uma antigo gira para "jornal". Similarmente, o termo Ent (pato) em [[Alemão]] ou "Zeitungsente" (literalmente: "pato de jornal") é usada para artigos de jornais intencionalmente falsos e ou acidentalmente errados.
