Penn and Teller’s show was applauded here a day or two ago as it deconstructed the global warming hysteria. I don’t suppose that will be repeated on this thread, but both shows offer precisely the same reasoned skeptical mindset.
Good job by P and T.

Leftists are really ill informed and dumb
I’m a fan of P&T, but this is a strawman argument. While they did interview “legitimate” sources for the ID side, they were all young-earth creationists. Why? Because they are easy to refute.
I’m definately not sold on ID, but I would like the challenges they pose to the standard view of evolution to be addressed. Sure, some guy saying that the Grand Canyon was made in a handful of days is a crank. There are more researched and scientific challenges than these. I’m not sure if they are appropriate for High School Biology, but I have sought but not found a sufficient and researched answer to the challenge that evolution as currently presented is antientropic.
If God doesn’t exist and Jesus never did, why did Penn and Teller do a crucifixion/resurection magic bit for that Randy magician?
Just to make fun of the faith of some people?
When is the blackfaced lynching gag? Escape from the rope, you know?
Atheists are among some of the biggest bigots out there when their atheism steps into antitheism denigrating all who have a faith in some higher power.
