An interesting chat between Dawkins and Gervais
by cedars ini obviously don't agree with everything that's said (especially when gervais talks about agnostics!
), but it's an intriguing discussion between two clever people, and some mostly good reasoning on display.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nd92qy2zmv0.

Believers, do you believe in evolution?
by everchangingworld inafter leaving, i still couldn't wrap my head around evolution (after the years of seing "intelligent design" in everything around me).. there's a series of videos that give a good intro to evolution and critical thinking.

Are We Living At The End Of An Age?
by metatron ini hardly know what else to call it.
i have felt many emotions in my life and anxiety, many times but this is different.. it's a sense of the impending, a build up of pressure like a wall of water behind a cracking dam.
