The Purpose of Purpose

[_Some Schmo]

This video is a talk given by Richard Dawkins last March concerning the "why" question and how it is inappropriate in certain cases. It speaks to me because I've long been critical of the tired old saying "there's a reason for everything."

I love the way he blows apart the argument that ID should be taught because kids should at least "be taught the controversy." It's hilarious because it's true.

There's also a great little parody of Ben Stein's Expelled in the first 10 minutes which is worth seeing all by itself.
