Young Australian Skeptics

And, oddly enough, I only found out via Jerry Coyne at Why Evolution Is True.

To summarise the events so far:

• University of Melbourne Secular Society holds a forum on the Problem of Evil.
• Barney Zwartz publishes a written version of his speech for The Age.
• Russell Blackford posts a rebuttal and discussion on his blog.
• Andrew Sullivan of the Daily Dish posts a response to Blackford.
• Jerry Coyne responds to Sullivan.
• A reader responds to Sullivan and Sullivan responds right back.
• Coyne responds to the response to the response, prompting Sullivan to re-​​respond and Coyne to update his article.
• Blackford notices Sullivan.
• So do Ophelia Benson and Jason Rosenhouse. Blackford writes another article.
• Coyne can’t really be bothered responding to more Sullivan nonsense. He does, however, throw two more of Sullivan’s responses our way.

Oh, what crazed philosophical monster hath the UMSS wrought?
