Judgment Day: Intelligent Design on Trial

Just finished watching this documentary about Intelligent Design vs Evolution ( natural selection).

http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/id/program.html

Basically, it is about a lawsuit in the US when a school board introduced the theory of Intelligent Design in Biology classes. Many people for introducing ID, many against, yadda yadda, cue a legal battle about how constitutional it is to teach ID.

While it may be happening in the US, I still feel it is an interesting documentary. Although it is of movie length (108 mins), it is divided into smaller parts of ~10minutes, making it easy to watch. Pretty educational stuff inside too. Hence, I have learnt much more (okay, slightly) about a bacterial flagellum.

And now, on today.

Which consisted of doing pretty much, nothing. Woke up at 11.30 ( even when I slept at 1am yesterday, which is early nowadays), eat, play till 4, then sleep to 6. Ate dinner at 7, did things till I didn't realise it was alraedy 9, watched TV, documentary, until now, 2am.

On the plus side, I now want 2 additional books, The Perpetual Prison Machine ( which NLB doesn't even have a single copy of) and Of Pandas and People. Much thanks to people who can help me find them, if possible, hehe.
