I have been following the uproar on the internets over the soon-to-be-released quasi-documentary Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed. A movie hosted by conservative actor Ben Stein that accuses "big science" of persecuting teachers who wish to teach alternate theories of evolution (ie intelligent design).  It's a full on battle out there, but someone has hit on a great idea:

The Atheist Ethicist has come up with the notion of buying Truth Tickets to offset the possible revenues of this movie.  Simply put, make a donation to the National Center for Science Education instead of spending money to see the ID propaganda film.  I'm going to buy enough Truth Tickets to cover the few ID believers I know, I hope you will consider doing the same.



 

If you are even remotely interested in these subjects, I highly recommend John Hawks primer on the history of the study of natural selection and its relationship to demographics and mathematics.  It is a long blog post, but (I think) very informative and interesting.  Makes me wish that I were less like Darwin and better able to sit still for math classes.
