Here’s a look back at some of our favorite articles over the last year. How did we choose? Well, the Popular Posts Blogger plugin certainly helped, but also, this list was generated based on user feedback via comments and email, and by our analytics reports.
No shocker here – people love animals, especially those that are creepy and weird. The purpose of this article was to showcase the incredible diversity of life on Earth and the power of evolution. 
This one generated a huge amount of traffic in a very short period of time – mainly because it was coincidentally published at the same time that astrology fell under major scrutiny. One of my favorite articles to write, because it’s very easy to test astrology for yourself.
This is one of my favorite posts for a couple of reasons: 1) it is an homage to Carl Sagan’s book, Pale Blue Dot, and 2) it leaves itself open for constant updates – the article gets better and better over time, as new pictures are released on the Web. Most Controversial – it’s a tie!

The anti-vaccination movement is a thorn in the side of modern medicine and rational folks alike. Since the publishing of this article, Andrew Wakefield has been stripped of his license, made into a martyr of sorts, and the anti-vax movement is still quite strong with Jenny McCarthy and other crackpots continuing to hold on to their beliefs, despite the lack of legitimate evidence to support their claims.
Nothing is more controversial than religion and politics… and while this blog does shy away from politics (for now…), we certainly don’t shy away from religion. This post comprised of a collection of questions and thoughts collected from colleagues over the last few years. They are questions that all theists and atheists should be allowed to debate freely. It featured some great comments on both sides of the arguments presented in the article.
