Evolution vs. Stephen Colbert

It takes some highly developed interviewee skills to make a respectable showing on late night talk shows, and most scientists (me included) don't have it in us. But check out this video I stumbled on (while I was doing real work - honest) of biologist and author Ken Miller who managed to go toe-to-toe with Stephen Colbert on belief and evolution. It's a few years old, but if you haven't seen it, worth a look. Not only is it entertaining, he does a nice job expressing why even if you are religious, evolution is a much more spiritually satisfying explanation for life on earth than some sort of direct divine creation of each species.
