Other than my last mentioned critics, I think this was a fabulous lecture.

About the false fact that all European country's curricula are centralized: That's nonsense. I'm from Germany and I wish our curricula WERE centralized. Any single one of the 16 Bundesländer in Germany has its own curriculum. Another American characteristic in addition to the alleged "disrespect for authorities" (which I think is a blatant myth if I ever heard one, for example when thinking about the Bush administration or how Obama is glorified now) seems to be the ill thought out use of simplified ideas that begin to transform to unassailable pseudo-knowledge in the heads of many "authority critical" Americans.

Chimpanzees have never given birth to homosapiens and no scientist has ever claimed that they have. I have to wonder whether you actually looked at this excellent video. It is a contiousness-raiser.

Miller is a devote Christian who believes that we belittle God when we shun the reality of the world around us.

Better on other sites
Kenneth Miller's lecture is also on Youtube WITH the slides. These are essential to understand many of the important points this brilliant scientist is making.

His video is an attack on the messenger while ignoring the message. Any thinking person will discover that life though very resillient, exist on a knife's edge and but for the perfect ballet of the universe it would not exist at all.

We have the perfect amount of gravity, the perfect amount of water with the perfect qualities as a molecule, and the perfect balance of gasses, and the perfect mix of minerals. Earth is in the perfect rotation, at a perfect pitch, and the perfect disance from the sun, in a part of the universe with just the right amount or lack of radiation.

The million, billions perhaps trillions of "just right" evolutionary co-incidences that led to these sentient beings at this perfect place in time.

Elohim, God revealed himself to a nomadic Hebrew in the desert, a man named Moses. He told him his name, and perhaps the significance escaped him, but today in these times of infinite understanding of the quantum realm, it screams at us from across this illusion called time. The Lord told Moses that his name was Yahweh! It means I am, who am!

The Lord was telling Moses that the Lord was the ultimate, the first cause. The cause that needs no other cause.

The Lord is telling us that he is the universal constant, what was, what is, and what always will be.

Our lives are about joining him in eternity. He chose us, and He wants us to choose him.

When we pass from this world, our faith must be in him or we will choose oblivion. The Lord has given us the the freedom to choose him.

Jesus is his son, who is, was, and will be. It is the Lords connection to us. We were created to complete his creation. It is a quaantum reality that he was born 2000 years ago, yet existed in Salem 6000 years ago and again he existed at the creation of the universe.

The argument of creationism and evolution is inane. Evolution is part of the creation, the book of Genisis is legend, a legend that exist in every culture, in nearly every religion.

The fact that it is so prevalent is in itself remarkable.

This dark matter that we seek, is the very conscienceness of the creator, every molecule contains the essence of the Lord. The Lord is within us, part of us now. When we choose him it is revealed to us, and if we are strong, and not afraid we are made powerful by this knowledge.

Our fear separates us from the Lord. Open your mind to the Word in the context of science and quantum physics and you will see the truth in a new light.

As a Christian, I see each additional discovery of supporting evidence for the theory of evolution as yet another testament to the brilliant and beautifully complex organization of life that God has created. Science and spirituality are not mutually exclusive and, in fact, are part and parcel of the same miracle of existence.

For a guy that is so preoccupied with proof and is righteously indignant at the attack on his science I find it confusing that he talks about God creating matter. What evidence is there to support this claim? It is an attack on common sense.

I recommend Critique of Intelligent Design written by John Bellamy Foster et al. as an excellent book on this subject.
