Thanks for posting this up. Very informative. I enjoyed it.

This has been on the Sift before (I originally watched it here, must have been discarded).

I was friends with an old professor who would debate creationism/intelligent design (for money) at large church gatherings.

He would always warn them, when they asked for his services, that "there is always a chance that someone might hear me", and this was enough for 2/3rds of them to back out of the engagement.

... and I'm totally anti-Organic Chemistry (8min in)

p.s. highlight at 16:40, where he presents the sticker he would like to see on biology textbooks.

he gets to his final, main point at 68min in, for those who are busy...

but its fleshed out very well over the hour.

I've read Behe's book Darwin's Black Box, and I love the image from 51:20 where all these papers contradicting him are piled up in front of him- "Have you read this?" "No"

Awesome mental image. I wish I could have seen it.

59:15- "didn't they learn anything from the Nixon Administration? Burn the evidence!!!"

bamdrew- I would say tune in around 64:30- When he explains how ID is trying to "jump the cue" so to speak- get their BS taught in science class, even though it isn't science. Even though it gets totally pwned by real science, even though it offers absolutely nothing constructive to the scientific process- they are just trying to use a political process, instead of a scientific one.

Yes, I would say if you want the sound bite version, watch from 64:30 to 69:30. It's 5 minutes, but he quite succintly and eloquently explains exactly why ID is NOT science and why it is dangerous to America

This guy is a great speaker and presenter. Thanks for the video, this lays out the I.D. scam better than anything I've seen before.

In light of the kerfluffle recently re: the evolution denists (thats a real word damnit!!), I hereby *promote logic, reason, and science back into the foray!

Invocations (promote) cannot be called by charliem because charliem is not privileged - sorry.
