Sven DeMilo posted a link to this here, but it's worth promoting up top: a nice compilation of instructive and entertaining videos for zoologists.

Jerry Coyne and P. Z. Myers, those little scamps, are kvetching about the NCSE again. It seems that the NCSE posted a link to this series of videos defending the compatibility of evolution and Christianity. Here is the NCSE's post:
Interested in exploring the issues raised by science and faith?…
I noticed that, in this recent thread asking why you were all here, that many of you said it was for the community and for the smart commenters here. Nobody said it was for my irresistible physical beauty and scintillating and delicate charm…in fact, I got the distinct impression I could drop dead…
Recently, I took out three of my colleagues for lunch. These were folk who were brave enough to take the plunge and participate in an opportunity to travel to Nigeria. Here, they would teach a course on molecular genetics to burgeoning Ph.D students, Faculty and the like in the vicinity of Lagos…
Jonathan Eisen (@phylogenomics) shared this wonderful Lady Gaga lab spoof on Twitter the other day. It rocks.
And, it makes me wonder if my pals who've been thinking about getting students interested in careers by having scientists talk on camera might be going at this the wrong way. Sure,…
Looks like an awesome site. I love procrastination tinged with education.
Just more stalking of animals for evil materialistic purposes.
When will it end?

Great vids, esp. the animated pre-cambrians. One link is broke, tho. Ironically it's to pharyngula.org.
Thanks, DiMilo!

This seems as good a place as any:

The first video. Excellent. If only it were required viewing for all creationists.
Those Humboldt squids are cool, they seem to be playfully interacting with the divers. I bet it would be fun to swim with them, that is, if they didn't try to eat you!
wow, frontpaged; thanks, man!
If only I was a real boy blogger...
Let me know which ones are broke. The only Pharyngula link is to 5 sec of spiral cleavage, I think, and I checked that one earlier.
OK, I think I fixed it...thanks, man.
Everybody click on SC's link @#4; it's very cool. That's the best example of recent trans-Kingdom horizontal gene transfer there is.
I suspect (and/or hope) something similar has happened for chitin-making pathways b/w fungi and spiralians, and for cellulose-making pathways b/w plants and tunicates. So so cool.
Lotsa cool but the Cambrian animal animation was extra good.
