As a member of MNCSE I object to Steven Newton gratuitous opening statement but otherwise you might find this useful.

In math and computer science, we have a tendency to talk about "going meta". It's actually a
pretty simple idea, which tends to crop up in other places, as well. It's also one of my favorite concepts - the idea of going meta is just plain cool. (Not to mention useful. There's a running joke among…
I already mentioned the MythBusters' crashing two cars episode where they correctly doubled the speed of a pendulum type object. Overall, this was a very visual (although expensive) demo. There was one part that left a sour taste in my mouth - the final explanation from the narrator. First, they…
I have a son who's currently a first year physics student. As you can imagine, I occasionally pass along a link or two to him pointing to stuff on the web I think he might find particularly interesting or useful. Thinking on that fact, I surmised that perhaps other science students might find…
Steven Newton should have contained his laughter throughout - he came off immature.
Greg,
I'm sorry if said this inarticulately, but what I meant to say was that we're the only national group working full time, singly to the task of defending evolution. I fully recognize the important contributions of groups such as MnCSE and TFN (which I did mention) to defending evolution and science education more generally.

Thanks for the clarification, Steve!
Of course, I posted your talk because I think it's a great talk, and that people should pay attention to it.
Steve - Sorry, never thought you may read this - which I should have. However, I stand by my contention that with a video available to the public, you gave the other side of the argument fuel by seemingly treating their ideas as a joke.
