However, there's some realy good material about Hovind, Wells, and Kirk Cameron/Ray Comfort further down . I wonder who the author is ? His voice sounds vaguely familiar and I'm sure I've heard him before on an Open University video.

Too bad these video's are completly futile, they'll keep repeating themselfs like broken records anyway.

Rubbish. Dembski was eviscerated by art student laughter at OU; he was obviously rattled. Laughter is the analgesic and education is the long-term cure.

I agree entirely with all his sentiments especially the bit about pupils being allowed to question the teaching of evolution in the classroom. There really is loads of excellent material on Youtube now refuting YECism (surely a lot of this could be professionally produced and used as  teaching aids in schools ?). For example, here's another excellent one on SN 1987, the speed of light, and why the Universe can't be 6,000 years old: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nRmJbP25m-Y&feature=related

Really really funny. -------------- Who said that ev'ry wish would be heard and answered When wished on the morning star Somebody thought of that, and someone believed it Look what it's done so far The Daily Wingnut

Well, not so much panicky as I used to, but surely very squeamish.
