Ben Stein, actor, game show host, economist and White House speechwriter has embarked upon a heroic and, at times, shocking journey in the new documentary Expelled to confront the world’s top scientists, educators and philosophers, regarding their 'persecution' of the academics who support the non-science that is Intelligent Design.
Evolutionary science is a wide discipline with differing theories as to the mechanics of how it happened, but when one resorts to a theory that there was a creator to fill the gaps in the theory of evolution rather than look for evidence, study that evidence and hypothesize then you've stopped being a scientist and have become a fantasist.
Amazon MP3 offers over 2 Million songs from more than 180,000 artists and over 20,000 Labels, including EMI Music and Universal Music Group.
"Amazon MP3 is an all-MP3, DRM-free catalog of a la carte music from major labels and independent labels, playable on any device, in high-quality audio, at low prices," said Bill Carr, Amazon.com Vice President for Digital Music.

This could well be the iTunes-killer that the record companies have been looking for. By insisting on the implementation of DRM before they licensed their catalogues to Apple the major labels basically shot themselves in the foot because they thereby gave Apple control over the music and allowed their consumers to become locked in to using Apple iPods.
Apple became the distribution channel for downloadable music and could then set the terms by which music would be sold online.
With the arrival of what is probably the largest online retailer of music on CD in to the arena of music downloads the future looks interesting.
Even so it's probably all irrelevant as most music downloads are I would think illegal p2p file-shared tracks.
I think the age of four is the perfect time for Lil Derrick to be learning about drive-bys, pimps, hookers, corrupt cops, drugs and the titular grand theft autos.
And it's too bad if he's British that he'll not be able to appreciate the Manhunt 2 cake he'll no doubt get for his fifth.
Just enough to get me excited for the return of Heroes and yet also revealing nothing at all about what we can expect to see in the second season of the show. In fact the interview that the BBC Breakfast show had with Adrian Pasdar and Milo Ventimiglia about season 1 which is currently showing on BBC Two revealed more.
A recent comment I spotted in the comments book of the Little Theatre cinema.
It's obscene to advertise such an appalling/violent computer game - I am surprised that the Little Theatre supports the encouragement of killing other humans.
The advertisement in question was for the game Medal of Honor: Airborne, a World War II first-person shooter. I personally believe that there is no substantive difference between advertising a game like this and screening a movie like Saving Private Ryan.
In any case the cinema has little control over which adverts actually get screened and obviously does not advocate or endorse the killing of people, however unlike some of our customers we are aware that there is a difference between the killing of humans in real life and on the silver screen or a computer monitor.
