I just saw a Nova special on the "Dover School board trial" involving intelligent design verses evolution and what the school board had tried to do. To put it simply, I expected Nova to be smart-aleks and to make it seem like ID has no basis or even validity but honestly though, my mind was racing at speeds over Einstiens universal speed limit (yes that was a pun 
) with arguments against what Nova supported as valid evidences and other tactics that the prosecution seemed to use.
Seriously, I was p.o.'ed with Nova for their lack of bias, wording of certain things, and outright stupidity on this topic. If I could I would prosecute Nova, the high schools, colleges, etc for infringing on my right to believe what I will (that was what the school board was being prosecuted for) since they are imposing strongly atheistic ideals upon me. If it weren't for the fact that the world is so messed up that most people don't even recognize atheism as a religion then I would do that when I get older.
Oh and if my last statement bothers you because you don't believe that atheism is a religion, then allow me to illustrate how religions work. Religions are distinctive beliefs that are non-combinatory (ie: you never hear of a Islamic-Christian, a Buddist-Christian, etc, so it would then be statisfactory to understand why you never hear of an Atheistic-Christian) Note: a Jewish-Christian is not referreing to two religions being combined, it is in reference to someone who is of Jewish background/ethnicity and a Christian.
Finally, to end my angry post, I'm banning Nova programs from the list of things to watch.
.... list of things banned from personal use:
Wikipedia (If I have no other reasonable alternative, I will use it)
and now Nova.
