This was the first one I have attended and I was very happy I did.&#160; Dr. Ken Miller was the speaker for the topic &quot;God, Darwin and Global Warming, does science really matter in America today?&quot;.&#160; Luckily he didn't waste any time on global warming and spent the bulk of time on science and religion.&#160; He also took quite a few questions on a variety of subjects.&#160; I was very impressed with his overall knowledge from religion, cellular biology and the cosmos.&#160; He obviously is an academic which in this case isn't a bad thing.&#160; He wasn't stuffy or arrogant at all.</p>  <p>This was obviously a very hot topic since Semolino's ended up being standing room only.&#160; I was very proud of Hays Kansas that a topic like this could be discussed in public without a religious picket line or something of the sort.&#160; The most important fact that came out of the evening was that scientists do a horrible job of selling their &quot;Facts&quot;.&#160; Examples:&#160; Evolution is no longer a theory, it is a fact.&#160; Another, the earth is not 6,000 years old like a very popular children's story likes to tell.</p>  <p>Dr. Miller also made it clear that we should pay attention to who our state representatives are to avoid what happened with the Kansas state school board earlier in the decade.&#160; If you don't know what happened you need to watch <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0800334/" target="_blank">&quot;Flock of the Dodos&quot;</a> which is a fantastic non biased look at science and religion in schools.&#160; This was even more interesting considering Dr. miller is also a religious man and he understands how dangerous the teaching of creationism in schools is.&#160; He doesn’t believe science and faith can’t go hand in hand.&#160; I can see that point of view as long as religion doesn’t try to pass itself off as science.&#160; The idea of science is to test an idea until you can prove it therefore making it fact.&#160; Faith and religion have no way of being proven so therefore it cannot be science, therefore it shouldn’t be taught in schools.</p>  <p>Dr. Miller has been on various television shows over then years including The Colbert Report.&#160; <a href="http://www.brown.edu/Courses/BI0020_Miller/talks/colbert-miller.mov">Click here</a> for the first time he was on the show.&#160; <a href="http://www.colbertnation.com/the-colbert-report-videos/173859/june-16-2008/kenneth-miller" target="_blank">This link</a> will take you to is latest appearance.</p>]]></content></entry><entry><title>Lasik was a Success</title><category term="General"/><id>http://justinmcclung.net/journal/2010/8/1/lasik-was-a-success.html</id><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://justinmcclung.net/journal/2010/8/1/lasik-was-a-success.html"/><author><name>Justin McClung</name></author><published>2010-08-01T22:50:00Z</published><updated>2010-08-01T22:50:00Z</updated><content type="html" xml:lang="en-US"><![CDATA[<p>Although getting my eyeball suctioned to the point of broken blood vessels wasn’t fun at least it’s over.&#160;

The only real negative for the day was the heat.&#160; From the beginning it was terribly hot with a high temp around 104 degrees.&#160; It was very difficult dealing with the heat and very little wind but I was impressed that so many people stayed and competed.&#160; From what I know we only lost one player due to dehydration and he actually had to go to the hospital for an IV.&#160; Now that is true dedication and toughness.</p>  <p>Now for the winners…</p>  <p>1st Place Singles – Ramon Lazano   <br />2nd Place Singles – Taylor Ermoian</p>  <p>1st Place Doubles – Shawn Clark &amp;

Luckily I ran across a new Documentary on HBO called.. Kevorkian.&#160; Yes it’s exactly what you think, Jack Kevorkian.&#160; Most people simply see him as a Dr. who helped people end their lives.&#160; He is much more than that and I have a new respect for him.&#160; I always liked what he was doing simply because I want that freedom and support if I ever need help at the end of my life.</p>  <p>Jack is a very, very intelligent man who isn’t afraid to say what needs to be said.&#160; He also went to prison intentionally to prove a point.&#160; The downside is that it didn’t end up like he had hoped but his actions have at least caused some debate.&#160; Without getting into the morality of what he did which would end up being a religious debate all I will say is watch this documentary.</p>  <p><a href="http://justinmcclung.net/resource/WindowsLiveWriter-GreatDocumentary_EB90-?fileId=7670922"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="jackk" border="0" alt="jackk" src="http://justinmcclung.net/resource/WindowsLiveWriter-GreatDocumentary_EB90-?fileId=7670923" width="504" height="364" /></a></p>]]></content></entry><entry><title>Great Point of view</title><category term="Politics"/><id>http://justinmcclung.net/journal/2010/7/3/great-point-of-view.html</id><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://justinmcclung.net/journal/2010/7/3/great-point-of-view.html"/><author><name>Justin McClung</name></author><published>2010-07-03T08:23:00Z</published><updated>2010-07-03T08:23:00Z</updated><content type="html" xml:lang="en-US"><![CDATA[<p>I am a huge fan of Penn Jillette and his new <a href="http://revision3.com/pennpoint/" target="_blank">podcast on Revision 3</a> is fantastic.&#160; As usual with my posts… you are warned.&#160; The language can be rough but that is our right as Americans.&#160; I am not a fan of our government and I am even less of a fan of our two party system.. it is broken.&#160; Penn’s recent podcast is filled with common sense and we should all listen.</p>  <p>Let me be clear… this is not a pro Obama podcast.&#160; It is an anti government podcast so don’t let the graphic below throw you.</p>  <div style="padding-bottom: 0px; margin: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; float: none; padding-top: 0px" id="scid:5737277B-5D6D-4f48-ABFC-DD9C333F4C5D:4cb0758e-5f18-4843-8308-0394b642a915" class="wlWriterEditableSmartContent"><div><embed class="rev3PlayerEmbed" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://revision3.com/player-v6044" allowFullScreen="true" quality="high" allowScriptAccess="always" width="555" height="312" /></div></div>]]></content></entry><entry><title>Get Him to the greek&amp;hellip; Great Movie</title><category term="Movie Reviews"/><id>http://justinmcclung.net/journal/2010/6/17/get-him-to-the-greekhellip-great-movie.html</id><link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://justinmcclung.net/journal/2010/6/17/get-him-to-the-greekhellip-great-movie.html"/><author><name>Justin McClung</name></author><published>2010-06-17T03:27:25Z</published><updated>2010-06-17T03:27:25Z</updated><content type="html" xml:lang="en-US"><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://justinmcclung.net/resource/WindowsLiveWriter-GetHimtothegreekGreatMovie_13BC5-?fileId=7371370"><img style="border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px" title="*Russell Brand and Jonah Hill July 30" border="0" alt="*Russell Brand and Jonah Hill July 30" src="http://justinmcclung.net/resource/WindowsLiveWriter-GetHimtothegreekGreatMovie_13BC5-?fileId=7371371" width="504" height="468" /></a> </p>  <p>Mandee and I went to the movie theater for the first time in months this last weekend.&#160; I talked her into going to Get Him to the Greek and even she loved it.&#160; Very funny and I truly hope they continue with the Aldous Snow character (previously Forgetting Sarah Marshall).&#160; Russell Brand is ridiculously funny and has found his niche with this character.&#160; I am guessing it is pretty much who he is in real life and man what a life.</p>  <p>I was a little surprised Jonah Hill (Seth&#160; from <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0829482/" target="_blank">Superbad</a>) can keep up with Brand in the comedy department, but he did.&#160; I even have to give props to P.
