Expelled

While I don't consider myself to be in the same camp as Stein or anyone interviewed, the movie has brought to the masses a piece of the public debate which has been overlooked by the general public. Expelled not only dealt with worldview issues, academic freedom, origin issues, but it also included some nice biology renderings. I'm thinking that the renderings would be good to have if someone were teaching an introductory biology course.

Worldview for highschoolers and other people too

My favorite podcast definitely has to be "That's Crazy Talk" (a.k.a. Radio Worldview) from "Worldview Academy" (worldview.org). If you have time to write to Jeff at radioworldview@worldview.org, please let him know that "That's Crazy Talk" is a much better name than "Radio Worldview." If you're in a grumpy mood you can even call the name Radio Worldview, "stodgy." You can find the podcast through the iTunes store under the name Radio Worldview or you can get the mp3s from the WVA website.

I have found that, when I mail them there is a very high probability that they'll respond to the e-mail on the air. While much of the dialog is simply them having fun, they do get down to biting into some worldview meat. They occasionally seem to give away a few pearls which are typically reserved for camp or their videos. I recently got around to ordering some of their DVDs and hope to be able to comment on them some day soon.
