The Rational Response Squad is a group of atheist activists who impact society by changing the way we view god belief. This site is a haven for those who are pushing back against the norm, and a place for believers of gods to have their beliefs exposed as false should they want to try their hand at confronting us.

Sweet, I watched it already on TV but I want to do so again.
Thanks for the link.
Ken Miller rocks.
I had recorded this on my DVR and just got to watch it.
I found the things that the ID'ers tried to pull to be terribly, terribly disgusting. The Wedge Plan, the early revisions of Of Pandas and Humans (is this supposed to be underlined?), the backtracking of the business man and the older gentleman... just all bad.
I'm very curious as to why people can't grasp the difference between a theory and a scientific theory. Further, I'm very curious as to how people can even listen to what a lawyer has to say about science? Are you really going to get your scientific theories from one?
Further, did anyone find it rather suspicious that a business man who was new to town tried to get ID taught? Doesn't this raise flags to anyone else?
I'd have sex with that movie if I could.
Hot.
I'd like to see it, but that link in the OP is broken. Does anyone know if it will air on PBS again? I'm Canadian, but I live close to the boarder and get some US stations, I also have satellite and PBS might be carried by my provider.

PBS will probally air it again, they love doing repeats for their pledge drives.
I read the transcript of Behe's testimony in that trial and I was yelling at the screen when the IDiot lawyer called it a "lawyer's trick" when the plaintiffs piled up the books in front of Behe. What they didn't mention in the Nova piece is that Behe not only was ignoring those books, he hadn't even read them. Not one of them. These were easily accessible journals that any scientist actually working in the field should have been quite familiar with. Yet Behe claimed that there was no published account for how the vertebrate immune system evolved. Guess it's pretty easy to say that when you just don't read the literature.
How can Christians claim moral superiority, or that god is necessary for goodness, when their own people engage in such underhanded dishonesty? One of the school board members actually tore down a high school student's work of art and burned it on the sly. Why couldn't he have just handed it back to the student and told him he didn't think it was appropriate?
Lazy is a word we use when someone isn't doing what we want them to do.

It seems the forum added two junk characters at the end of the url; delete them and it should work.
"What right have you to condemn a murderer if you assume him necessary to "God's plan"? What logic can command the return of stolen property, or the branding of a thief, if the Almighty decreed it?"

Brilliant. At first I thought it was going the way of the IDers the way they were reporting it, but it wrapped it up very nicely showing how ridiculus intelligent design was, and how religiously motivated the school board was.
Hey, it put North Haverbrook on the map; and now Dover, PA is on the map as well!
Good night, funny man, and thanks for the laughter.
Loved it. I highly recommend the trial transcripts for anyone who cares to read them. The link worked when I deleted the characters... never even thought to check for that. I believe my very favourite part is the judge's ruling.
