• Why Intelligent Design is WRONG, Part IREAD THISThis video is NOT meant to be an accurate representation of evolution, as evolution does not have a predetermined goal (though there is the goal to reproduce). This video is meant to test one simple point, thatRANDOM MUTATION +NON-RANDOM SELECTION =VERY IMPROBABLE RESULT.For further discussion on the use of a "goal" see below. For simulations that represent evolution more accurately see my later videos.In this video I show why the central tenant of Intelligent Design or ID is wrong. They argue they can tell when an object is "designed", meaning it could not have arisen by chance, but their logic is fatally flawed. Here I will actually simulate evolution showing how impossibly improbable outcomes can appear quite easily, without anything being designed.For those who fail to find solace in the fact that I have used a "goal" image in this video I will 1) offer a quaint explanation for how this DOES NOT impose design and 2) direct you to Part II of this video.See, imagine there is an ecosystem where two species live in a symbiotic relationship. Species A offers food to species B for protection. The way species A recognizes species B is because B looks like SouthPark characters.Now species C happens to also live in this environment but looks nothing like SouthPark characters. They resemble random noise. They go about collecting their food on their own. Evolution by natural selection and common sense tells us that any member of species C that has an advantage in collecting food will be better off (more energy and time for reproduction). Thus that advantage will be passed on.Therefore, random mutations in species C's population that make members very slightly resemble SouthPark characters will be passed on because those organisms might be able to trick a member of species A every now and then more so than those that are just random noise. As mutations build up in the population of species C, they begin to resemble SouthPark characters more and more, thus tricking species A more and more getting free food and increasing their fitness.Mimicry like this happens all the time in nature. The evolution of species C is not designed or directed. It just happens that those that resemble species B more (thus looking like a SouthPark character) will have a higher fitness. It is a product of their environment. They will pass on those mutations and the population will evolve.To download this video go to:http://www.mediafire.com/?8vz1jesmylnIf you wish to translate this video you can download the PowerPoint file from:http://www.mediafire.com/?azkwjyvl5yjLearn the facts, spread the truth, and most importantly, Think About It.
• Intelligent Design?From the tales of Ancient Mesopotamia to the powerful gods of the Egyptians. The mighty Greeks to the far off Aztecs. We see reports in ancient mythologies of mysterious beings that descended from the heavens. More specific gods with the credit of knowledge, healing, life and mans creation. Can it be true that we were intelligently designed?Mesopotamian gods of creationEnki - The god of water and the fertile earthNinhursag - Enki's sister, Minor synonyms includeNinzinak-lady of the embryo;Nindim- lady fashioner;Nagarsagak-carpenter of insidesNingishzidda - The patron of medicine, and may also be considered a God of nature, as his name in Sumerian means "lord of the good tree"EgyptiansThoth -Thoth - god of the moon, drawing, writing, geometry, wisdom, medicine, music, astronomy, and magicGreekHermes- god of boundaries and of the travelers who cross them, of shepherds and cowherds, of orators and wit, of literature and poets, of athletics, of weights and measures, of invention, of commerce in generalAztecQuetzalcoatl (quetzal-feathered serpent) - creator god and patron of rulership, priests and merchants. Associated with Ehecatl as the divine windThese gods or divine beings are always associated with life or knowledge. If there is a birth they are usually depicted there. For some reason, all these "gods" are always pictured with or near some type of coiled serpent, water/bucket of life, or the tree of life. these symbols of knowledge and medicine has stuck with mankind from the days of the Sumerian's.Can there be a correlation between these images of coiled snakes and human DNA? Was there truly a "Intelligent Interference"?. Meaning humans did evolve here but at some point in time was "altered" in the image of the gods?Please take these images to heart. Note the similarities in all. Then please think of the distance involved with some of these peoples. The Aztecs were nowhere near any of these cultures. Yet similar depictions are there as well.Were these actual gods, extraterrestrials, or simple human imagination that infected the world?I leave u with a tale from ancient Egypt.The story is about the gods Set, Osiris, Isis(Osiris' wife) and Thoth.Set was in dispute with Osiris over who ruled the lands. Set killed the mighty god Osiris to acquire his domain and be the dominant god. Isis brought the body to Thoth. Thoth revived him. Set killed him a second time. this time chopping him up. Isis was in despair. Osiris can no longer be revived and she has no heir to claim the lands of his father. so the lands we officially Sets. Thoth took from a limb of osiris. The "essence of osiris" And placed it in Isis womb. She gave birth to an heir Horus. Horus was the rightful heir, Seth lost his control.

• Intelligent Design and Creationism/Evolution Controversy'Intelligent Design' (ID) is a new form of creationism that emerged after legal decisions in the 1980s hampered the inclusion of 'creation science' in the public school curriculum. In the 20 years since ID appeared, there has been no evidence of it being used to solve problems in biology. Although the scientific/scholarly part of ID has been a failure, the 'cultural renewal' part of ID has been a success, as supporters of ID seek 'restoration' of a theistic sensibility in American culture to replace what they consider an overemphasis on secularism.
• Pecha Kucha: Get to the PowerPoint in 20 SlidesLet us now bullet-point our praise for Mark Dytham and Astrid Klein, two Tokyo-based architects who have turned PowerPoint, that fixture of cubicle life, into both art form and competitive sport. Their innovation, dubbed pecha-kucha (Japanese for "chatter"), applies a simple set of rules to presentations: exactly 20 slides displayed for 20 seconds each. That's it. Say what you need to say in six minutes and 40 seconds of exquisitely matched words and images and then sit the hell down. The result, in the hands of masters of the form, combines business meeting and poetry slam to transform corporate clich into surprisingly compelling beat-the-clock performance art.The duo — Dytham is British, Klein Italian — invented pecha-kucha four years ago to help revive a struggling performance space they owned. The first presentations were such a hit that they began hosting monthly pecha-kucha events, boozy affairs at which Tokyo architects and designers showcased their streamlined offerings to crowds of hundreds. Now there are pecha-nights in 80 cities, from Amsterdam and Atlanta to San Francisco and Shanghai. Why? Dytham believes that the rules have a liberating effect. "Suddenly," he says, "there's no preciousness in people's presentations." Just poetry.By Dan Pink | Wired Magazine Issue 15.09

• PCS Destroys Intelligent Design in 10 secondOkays, for the large part Im done with politics.The bulk of this video deals with how PCS has adopted Intelligent Design.However in what can only be described as a moment of jaw dropping stupidity, he blasts Intelligent Design by directly associating it with God and religion.The whole of the intelligent design movement was basically about discussing creationism without using the words god or religion In less than 10 seconds, the most popular creationist on youtube has rendered the position of intelligent design in the media window of youtube untenable. Good Job PCS!

• Judgment Day: Intelligent Design on Trial 1of12Judgment Day: Intelligent Design on Trial captures the turmoil that tore apart the community of Dover, Pennsylvania in a landmark battle over the teaching of evolution in public schools. In 2004, the Dover school board ordered science teachers to read a statement to high school biology students about an alternative to Darwin s theory of evolution called intelligent design the idea that life is too complex to have evolved naturally and so must have been designed by an intelligent agent. The teachers refused to comply, and both parents and teachers filed a lawsuit in federal court accusing the school board of violating the constitutional separation of church and state. This is the trial where Behe admitted that if the definition of science was broadened to allow ID, it would also sweep in Astrology. This is the trial which saw Kenneth Miller completely dismantle "Irreducible Complexity". This is the trial where Buckingham and Bonsell went from saying "we don't know where the books came from" to the revelation that Buckingham had taken up an offering in his church, banked the money, wrote a cheque to Bonsell, Bonsell gave it to his father and his father bought the ID books. This is the trial where a number of key witnesses from the upper echelon of the Discovery Institute pulled out at the last minute and therefore would not defend the claims of intelligent Design under oath. http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/id/

• MONKEY BUSINESS: Evolution and Intelligent DesignIn October 2004, the school board in the small town of Dover, Pennsylvania, ordered its high school biology teachers to preface classes on evolution with the statement: "Darwin's Theory is a theory not a fact. Gaps in the theory exist for which there is no evidence." As an alternative to evolution, the school board suggested "intelligent design," a theory holding that life on earth could not have developed at random. Are there gaps in the theory of evolution that undermine its credibility? What should we make of "intelligent design"? And just what should we be teaching our children about the development of life on earth? Peter Robinson speaks with Massimo Pigliucci and Jonathan Wells.

• Why does every intelligent Christian disobey Jesus?For more info visit: http://WhyWontGodHealAmputees.com and http://GodIsImaginary.comIn this short video, we will examine a simple but profound question. Why do you, as an intelligent Christian, disobey Jesus? Why dont you do what Jesus tells you to do in the Bible?The Bible makes it very clear: To be a Christian, You must obey Jesus. For example, the bible says: We know that we have come to know [Jesus] if we obey his commands. The man who says, I know him, but does not do what he commands is a liar, and the truth is not in him. - 1 John 2: 3-4 Jesus also says: That servant who knows his masters will and does not get ready or does not do what his master wants will be beaten with many blows. - Luke 12: 47 The message is clear enough. To be a Christian, you must obey Jesus. So lets look at five things that Jesus has commanded you to do in the Bible. These commandments, and the fact that you ignore them, will amaze you...
