University of Kansas: Humanities Lecture Series

I've listened to the following two; both are very good.  Kenneth Miller gives a good lesson in evolution, as well as, interestingly enough, some of the better aspects of Catholic theology. 

Os Guinness does a good job convincing the listener that perhaps 'thinking Christian' is not an oxymoron after all.  

Kenneth Miller, Professor of Biology, Brown University
“God, Darwin, and Design: Creationism’s Second Coming"

Os Guinness, Theologian & Author; Co-Founder of The Trinity Forum
"A World Safe for Diversity: Living with our Deepest Differences in an Age of Exploding Pluralism"

There are also lectures by Richard Dawkins and Judge John E. Jones that I haven't listened to yet.  There is also a lecture by Michael Behe for some reason.  He certainly seems the dim bulb in the group, but I haven't listened to them all yet.

'Real News'

'The Daily Show is as Substantive as the 'Real' News'

Originally found on Slashdot.

"We should probably be concerned about both of those sources, because neither one is particularly substantive. It's a bottom-line industry and ratings-driven. We live in an 'infotainment' society, and there certainly are a number of other sources available."
