NCSE's Blast from the Past

The National Center for Science Education has uploaded an enormous amount of video material from the 1980's. Absolutely classic stuff and worth passing on to your young earth creationist friends:

Also worth reading is the debate between Henry Morris and Kenneth Miller here:

Morris was entirely misleading in this debate. He trots out his second law of thermodynamics argument:

Get out an encyclopedia and read the entry on the second law of thermodynamics. It has nothing to do with evolution one way or another. Most of Morris' quotes and what-not can be searched for and debunked here:

I don't know if you'd allow this kind of spamming, but I did have an interesting time with an old friend of yours.

I'd have posted it as soon as this happened, but I just found your blog now.
