If you’re interested in the DVD that that the creationist Truth in Science group sent out to every teacher in Britain, someone has accidentally made it available as a bittorrent file.
Pharyngula
Evolution, development, and random biological ejaculations from a godless liberal
Thanks for point this out. It is saddening that the creationist madness has managed to cross over the water to this once very secular isle!
Its essentially unlocking the mystery of life, which is online here: http://www.theapologiaproject.org/media/unlocking_the_mystery_of_life.ram
Note the scientific sounding name of the hosting site.
It’s amazing how they are sometimes pushed against the wall with questions and then end up just repeating whatever they have brain washed themselves to say.
You can see it in this interview:

PS: I’m not even going to try and watch that dvd… there’s enough going on online to keep me amused.
Though tempting to avoid the watching of this video, I think that a scientifically based recorded (video, text, blog, etc.) rebuttal could have a much greater impact. Making such accessible over the Internet would then offer many the possibility of simply linking to it, when in need for a consistent reply, to “friends” recommending the original crap.
Sheesh.
DNA is evidence because we want it to be evidence, not because of anything that is actually …um…evidence.
yawn
Torrent appears to be dead
I’ll check that out – it’s only just been put up there and not many people are seeding it. I suspect my bandwidth is probably taking a battering.
Interesting how its filed under ‘ Videos » Conspiracy”.
Does the video claim there is a conspiracy? Or is this just the uploader having a giggle?
Yes, I just got a note from the original guy — he’s the only seeder so far, so it’s sucked up all of his bandwidth. If anyone else wants to share the load, he’d appreciate it.

We’ve sort of started to do that here: http://www.justscience.org.uk/tikiwiki-1.9.5/tiki-index.php?page=Truth+In+Science+materials
I’ve spoken to a couple of people from newspapers and TV stations in the UK who say they have used it in preparing reports on truth in science so that’s a good start.
to save my poor bandwidth, I’ve started uploading them to YouTube.
The first one can be seen at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iOiBbxnU9jw
Life is really complex.
We found out now that life is more complex.
If you can’t remove any part, it’s irreducibly complex.
Like a mousetrap.
Bacterial Flagellum are irreducibly complex.
Bacterial Flagellum are just like a motor boat.
Some people say Co-option explains the irreducibly complex nature of the Bacterial Flagellum.
Co-option does not explain it, it is irreducibly complex!
The Bacterial Flagellum can’t have evolved.
Darwin said if somebody can show something cannot evolve, his theory is wrong.
The Bacterial Flagellum disproves Darwin.
The Bacterial Flagellum is irreducibly complex.
…
It isn’t exactly the cream of the crop, but it may be the cream of the crap.
How can this DVD get sent out to all the teachers of England, when the DVD ‘The God Who Wasn’t There’ is blocked from being sent to all the teachers in the US?
I’ve been trying to get this but no one is seeding it. I’m in the UK and really wanted to have a copy to show my friends/colleagues at the colleges where I work.
nobody else was seeding them, so I’ve had to take it down to save my poor bandwidth.
I’ve put them up on Google Video

As of right now, there are four seeds, and one peer. I am seeding it myself and will continue to do so. I am getting about 100kbs download right now.
Umm…different countries have different legal systems? Just a thought.
Even to gather information on the enemy I can’t watch something I know is complete pish.
