Main site
One of my favourites

Seeing as the board seems to be going more into the intelligent side of life, I thought I would post these here.

Now, most people should be able to understand most of the stuff said in these videos, may not be able to fully grasp it, but understanding is fine.
There's a good chance you won't like some of them, for instand Shermer, who I linked to, takes a couple shots at Americans and Creationists.

All the same, very informative movies, hope you like them.

Weird, I was just looking through them earlier :]

Ze Frank is on there, for you fans. His was quite fun. Here's a link to Google Video.
Judge: Are you trying to show contempt for this court, Mr Smith?
Smith: No, My Lord. I am attempting to conceal it.

Dawkins is a genius.
I suggest the statue of Laanx gets turned into a statue of Parallo <3. An NPC could never replace the huge hole he left in my heart when he died  :'(

Aye, he kind of reminds me of myself.

So far the three listed here are all well worth watching...So...watch them.

And Dawkins theories are kind of...mind twisting.

You should look up Sam Harris. If you like Dawkins' stuff you'll love his.

I remember seeing one video of Dawkins where he was making a presentation at a university.  A lot of idiots from Liberty university showed up to ask him questions they thought would trap him.  To put it mildly, they got owned.

And i thought we were going to get some more "kittens are cute" claptrap. I'm dissapointed to say the least.

This has wasted a few hours of my night already, and is about to waste a few more. Thoroughly enjoying :)

So Shermer isn't just some angel duster I quoted. I had no idea.... his talk was a little light but what can you expect for a short clip.

A while back there was a thread on new screen style interface, I dont remember if this was included (i dont think so).

If I were an artist, this would be on my 'Must Have' list.  J. Han
