I met her this Saturday at the AAI convention too… very *very* cool stuff! I especially loved the 98% Chimp shirts.

It bears repeating, so I’ll repeat it.
This is not limited to atheists.
As a good little Catholic kid I was way into dinosaurs.

It’s a great place for parents who want their kids to have a sound grounding in science to get educational materials (thought “charlie” is a bit too cute for me).

p.s. I love the line of the horseshoe crab running to the present. Those critters are AWESOME!

Wait, how do we know that they’re all atheists in that photo?

Hey, I recognize one of those guys! It’s me!

I found it very interesting, simple enough for children to easily grasp and understand, but containing real and interesting science. Keep it up!

cool!

I’d also like to get some items, and I’m in Mexico. There might be enough market to become a reseller, as I live near a biotech reserch institute…

PrimeNumbers asked:
“Any word on availability in Canada?”

Although I wasn’t able to order anything, the registration function (for ordering purposes) allows you to enter an international address so hopefully they will ship outside of the U.S.
I’d really like to order some of their merchandise as I think my six-year old daughter would love it. Every night it’s “Daddy tell me all about sharks”, or “Daddy tell me all about dinosaurs” and even “Daddy tell me all about volcanoes”.
Daddy needs to do a bit of studying – my knowledge of paleontology is about 3 decades out of date and I really don’t remember much about vulcanolgy either.

Not just atheist parents. The conflict between Christianity and evolution only exists in the minds of those who wish to stick to a literal reading of the bible. It needn’t be this way for others.

That bears repeating. Thank you!!!! Not all Christians are creationists. That fact needs to be highlighted most of all.
