Howard Stern - Evolution and Creationism
This is kind of hilarious. Like often happens on Youtube, I got to this video via the related links. I didn't expect Stern to be so vocal about this.

Make some time on your Sunday, I promise this is worth it. It's not straight up science, it's STORYTELLING!!!
The Storytelling of Science will feature a panel of esteemed scientists, public intellectuals, and award-winning writers including well-known science educator Bill Nye, astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson, evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins, theoretical physicist Brian Greene, Science Friday's Ira Flatow, popular science fiction writer Neal Stephenson, executive director of the World Science Festival Tracy Day, and Origins Project director Lawrence Krauss as they discuss the stories behind cutting edge science from the origin of the universe to a discussion of exciting technologies that will change our future. They will demonstrate how to convey the excitement of science and the importance helping promote a public understanding of science.
The second part is where this happened. There is some lively debate between Neil Tyson (of course) and pretty much everyone else. He seems to win just cause he's bigger.

If you haven't watched the Daily show this week, I really recommend going back to watch these full episodes. They have just been brilliant critiques of the failures of the media around Boston and the congressional failures on gun control.
Jon says in this clip what I have wanted to say all week. We spend immense amount of time and energy on things that kill only a few people, but fail to act on things that kill millions. Reminds me of the days Naomi Klein's book: The Shock Doctrine. We just bounce from issue to issue hearing emotional arguments on the most dramatic versions of the news of the day.
Hello from your MIA contributor.
I thought I would continue of the conversation about how uncomfortable Atheists are having anyone that approaches the role of a spokesperson by a belated acknowledgement of the late great and sometimes grating Christopher Hitchens. His birthday was April 13th.
Watching these clips of his verbal slap-downs, it reminds me his retorts were powered by both skill and viciousness. Both those qualities made him terribly entertaining even when he was wrong, leaving some of his more intelligent victims having fun while being publicly trounced.
Happy birthday Hitch, your thoughts live on in the written word and float around the internets shocking people to this day.
