Global Warming: No Consensus On Human Causes
Now You've Seen Everything
Wow, is Ben Stein really going to
take the cause of Intelligent Design to the big screen? Sure looks that way, in a Michael Moore type fashion.
Expelled is set to hit theaters (I have to wonder if it will make it that far) February 12, 2008, one year short of Darwin's 200th birthday.

John Hurt (aka Kane, aka Winston Smith) and Ian McKellen (aka Magneto, aka Gandalf the Grey).
Well, at least
I think they look similar.

I love YouTube. One of my favorite things to do is hunting down old 80's music videos (and downloading them locally using Firefox and the
Ook? Video Ook! plugin), and once in awhile I come across a real treasure.
Such as this music video of "
Six Six Six" by now retired Christian rock band
Degarmo & Key. I've heard it was the first video by a Christian rock band played on MTV, who subsequently pulled it after it a few plays labeling it as too violent. Amazing to think MTV had a morality filter at one point, and that they chose to aim it at a Christian rock band.
Note some of the great throwbacks in this video:
- Vintage Apple II computer, featuring 5.25" floppy drives/disks.
- The Miami Vice getups D&K are wearing.
- Sky-is-falling dispensational eschatology.
