Film/documentary The Unbelievers (click link)

Click the title of this post to go to The Unbelievers homepage.








I find the film slightly disappointing only because there is very little new footage or information for me personally.  Lawrence Krauss and his scientist buddies have made science cool (mostly by the shoes Krauss wears.... right???  I'm right, huh...)!  But the entire film is just so encouraging as far as seeing science lead the way in leaps and bounds.  The central theme in this film is that religion doesn't need any help from anyone to render it obsolete.  As we educate ourselves - and nobody needs a formal education for this - science has just become so COOL because it is completely relevant to our modern lives that religions have nowhere to go but out!  I'm a scientist/science video junkie, so if you don't lap up every science video that comes out like I do, watch the film.  It's really worth it.  These guys are goofy too!  They have demonstrated to the world that understanding our natural world is not only necessary, but compelling, fun and oh, sooooo sexy!

*sings* AWESOME!


Check out this video of some of my favorite nerds, basically having a conversation before thousands of people in the audience, about how an understanding of basic science will liberate and excite you.
