HBO Mini-Series: The Pacific
HBO's new mini-series entitled The Pacific looks really good. They've posted the first episode online for free (looks like you need to sign-in).

RC Sproul Interviews Stephen Meyer
Dr. Stephen Meyer (Ph.D., Cambridge) is Senior Fellow at the Discovery Institute outside of Seattle, Washington. He has spend twenty years researching cosmology, biology, and metaphysics and is currently at the forefront of the "Intelligent Design" movement - a broad coalition of researchers whose findings demonstrate the mathematical improbability of a godless universe and (conversely) the rationality of believing in an Intelligent Creator. Meyer is the author of Signature in the Cell: DNA and the Evidence for Intelligent Design. I'm glad that Dr. R.C. Sproul recently had the opportunity to … [Read more...] about RC Sproul Interviews Stephen Meyer
