What I would love to play for my classes...
I teach biology. This means that within the first day or two of any introductory class, I cover the basics of evolution. This is because the only way to understand life is through the process of evolution by natural selection. Now mainstream Mormons are all in support of evolution so I don't often have to get into debates with creationist students. However, the are fundamentalists in any movement and I've been told that there are even some Mormons who think the world and everything in it was created by a deity in seven days.
I would really love to be able to just play this clip in class and move on but, of course, it would be inappropriate I suppose. So instead, I'll subject you all to this great piece by Lewis Black. I should warn those of you who are not familiar with Lewis Black that his language makes this clip inappropriate for kids (and perhaps some adults).
Here's a direct link for folks who can't see it on this page.
