The Naked Ape

The Naked Ape is a popular science book by Desmond Morris. Dr. Morris surprised society in 1967 by writing a pop anthropology book, first serialized in London's Daily Mirror tabloid, in which he described humans in the same objective, analytical way that zoologists describe animals.
Dr. Morris was the curator of mammals at the London Zoo, a specialist in primates, and his then radical idea was to view mankind as no more than a very complicated primate. The title of the book is derived from the fact that there are 193 species of monkeys and apes on the planet, of which man is the only one not entirely covered in fur and is, therefore, the only naked ape.
Some critics of the book pointed out that Dr. Morris was a zoologist, not an anthropologist, and as such was making radical
speculations by defining man in purely zoological terms.
The book made for a livelier-than-expected read because it focused on sex and mating rituals. Morris pointed out that man is "the sexiest primate" and noted that Homo Sapiens not only has the biggest brain of all primates, but also the largest penis. 
== Movies ==
A 1973 movie directed by Donald Driver — based on the book — was made starring Johnny Crawford and Victoria Principal. This version of The Naked Ape is somewhere between a documentary and a series of anecdotes, which some claim makes it difficult to follow.
In 2006 an independent movie was made based loosely on the book, written and directed by Daniel Mellitz, starring Josh Wise, Chelse Swain, Sean Shanks, Amanda MacDonald, Tony LaThanh, Corbin Bernsen.

The Navigators

The Navigators is a Bible study group which originally formed among military members just before World War II and has since expanded into a full-fledged "ministry" not specifically targeted at military members. They are active on many military bases as well as college campuses. They are based in - surprise, surprise - Colorado Springs.
==Mission==
The stated mission of The Navigators is to "advance the gospel of Jesus and His Kingdom into the Nations through spiritual generations of laborers living and discipling among those who don't yet know Him." The Navigators is an international, interdenominational Christian Organization, whose objective is to help fulfill what they see as Christ’s commission, making disciples of all nations. They individually teach the basics of the Christian life to new believers who then teach others. They work on campuses, military bases, and among lay men and women on every continent.
==Conversion tactics==
They promote a particularly simplistic approach to personal religious conversion using two themes:
* The Four Spiritual Laws, an assertion that there are four naturally-occurring spiritual laws in the universe everyone is subject to. The Campus Crusade for Christ originated this concept.
* The "bridge" illustration: Pride originated sin, which leads to the fall of man from a presence with God. God is on the other side of this bridge, and through the sacrifice of Christ Jesus, we are able to reconnect with God, if we choose to accept His heavenly gift.
The Navigators also do a lot of tract-giving and practice a strong emphasis on members being "accountable" to each other and placing themselves under the moral authority of their Bible study leader, a practice that assists obedience to Christ. The Navigators have worked closely with and are promoted by the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association and Bill Bright's Campus Crusade for Christ. Their NavPress publishing house is nowadays one of the major publishers of evangelical Christian books, many of which are aimed at young adults and teens.

The Necessity of Atheism

If ignorance of nature gave birth to gods, knowledge of nature is made for their destruction.
'The Necessity of Atheism' is an essay in English by the poet when he was a student at Oxford University. The essay was printed in 1811 and was met with critical scorn and horror, prompting Oxford to suspend him temporarily once he admitted to be the essay's author. The essay explores themes such as life, consciousness and perception to make the argument that God is a superstition to be disbelieved. It also quotes influential authors of ancient Rome who professed disbelief. 
Shelley was one of the most influential poets of the Romantic era known for poems such as Ozymandias.

The Origin of Human Nature: A Zen Buddhist Looks at Evolution

The Origin of Human Nature: A Zen Buddhist Looks at Evolution is a book discussing spirituality and its role in evolution. It was written in 2008 by Albert Low, a former human resources executive turned Western Buddhist Zen master.
==Overview==
Low claims he decided to write the book because of current problems within the Creation/Evolution "debate". According to Low, the neo-Darwinian view of evolution is too materialistic to explain evolution. Simply putting God in the gap like the creationists do is unacceptable from his Buddhist perspective. Low's spiritual view supposedly offers an alternative to the "current theories: random mutation (mechanistic neo-Darwinism), Genesis (God did it all personally), and Intelligent Design (God personally does what we can’t otherwise account for)." His main complaint in the book is an argument against natural evolution, which he claims is too materialistic to explain free will, requiring the addition of a spiritual element.Article by Albert Low 
Low's alternative of spiritual evolution, which he calls "intelligent evolution," is the view that a creative intelligence exists beyond the physical which explains consciousness.The Origin of Human Nature: A Zen Buddhist Looks at Evolution by Albert Low 
==Intelligent design?==
In an article titled By Design: Not all who are sympathetic to the idea of intelligent design are creationists, Low has written that Buddhism neither affirms nor denies the existence of God, nor does it deny the general theory of evolution. Rather, the neo-Darwinian view of evolution is wrong since it denies that intelligence and creativity play a part in evolution.Article by Albert LowBy Design: Not all ID believers are creationists by Albert Low It appears Low advocates the view of guided evolution yet denies any God is doing it, which in a broad sense could still be called an intelligent design position.
Further, in an article on his website he supports the intelligent design ideas of Michael Behe and wrote "Behe’s criticisms of the current theories of evolution are trenchant and could open many people’s minds to the perspective of The Origin of Human Nature."The Origin of Human Nature: A Zen Buddhist Looks at Evolution by Albert Low

The Orion Conspiracy

The Orion Conspiracy (also known as La Conspiration d'Orion) is a short movie by French director/photographer Seb Janiak that was released in 2007/2008. It consists of a long presentation with a slideshow given by an anonymous lecturer to a group of important-looking men that tries to tie every major conspiracy theory in a single unified conspiracy theory narrative. Given the fact that the images in the slideshow are either blatantly photoshopped or taken out of context, chances are that the whole thing is indeed a tongue-in-cheek artsy movie, probably with some kind of message about gullibility and the media, and not a straight example of Seb Jainak being a true believer. (Though the guy apparently doesn't like the US. Or at least American militarism.)
==The images==
The defining feature of the movie is the images shown in the slideshow. Some of them are just publicly available pictures (e.g. an American battleship firing its guns, NASA pictures or snapshots from old movies), others are already existing conspiracy theory images (e.g. Nazi flying saucers), but a lot of them seem to have been Photoshopped specially for the movie. Some images may have been reused from other sources - there are a few "giant skeleton" photos that are either taken from or inspired by a Worth1000 Photoshop contest that had been previously recycled as an Internet hoax.David Mikkelson, Was a Giant Skeleton Uncovered in Saudi Arabia? Snopes, 21 June 2004. The website has a gallery listing (a large part of) the manipulated images and even offers some of them for download as desktop wallpapers.
Since then, some of the images have been wittingly or unwittingly re-used by various conspiracy theory websites.For example, see this profile from conspiracy webshite The Greater Picture. One of the more amusing examples is the picture of an Apollo astronaut on the Moon with ruins added in the background – it was used as a background image of the website of the 2012 Secret Space Program conference,Secret Space Program. Archived from 14 January 2012. a vehicle for the likes of Timothy Good and Richard Hoagland. (Most probably they are not that gullible, but they sure liked the idea...)

The Pentagon

The United States Ministry of Peace Department of War Defense maintains its Military-industrial complex bureaucratic headquarters in a five-sided building, which, imaginatively, is known as The Pentagon. Apparently the shape was chosen because it reduces the time for someone to walk from one office to any otherHow the Pentagon Got Its Shape, Washington Post (it doesn't take more than seven minutes to walk between any two points). Planned and built in the early 1940s,The Pentagon Tours, DoD the building has over 3.7 million square feet of floor space; about 24,000 people work there daily.GlobalSecurity.com: The Pentagon 
The Pentagon was one of the three buildings attacked on 9/11 by terrorists armed with box cutters and jet planes.
The Pentagon has twice as many bathrooms as it needs (and thus twice as much toilet paper). This is due to its having been built in (then-)segregated Virginia. However, at the same time, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt had passed an executive order banning segregation within federal government facilities. Thus, even though they were built, the bathrooms were never designated by race as were facilities in the rest of Virginia.A House Divided, Snopes

The Resistance Manifesto

The Resistance Manifesto () is a 2005 book by conservative Christian conspiracy theorist Mark Dice.http://www.amazon.com/The-Resistance-Manifesto-Mark-Dice/dp/0967346649http://www.abebooks.com/9780967346649/Resistance-Manifesto-Mark-Dice-0967346649/plp The book is about the "facts and fiction" (as Dice defines them, at least) surrounding New World Order conspiracy theories. It provides supposed proof of Biblical prophecies occurring presently while claiming that Christianity in America is being destroyed by Satanic forces, denounces atheism and secularism (equating both to Satanism, no surprise), and discusses the Illuminati and how they control the world. The book also promotes a lot of denialist nonsense in regards to the September 11 attacks, evolution and global warming, and warns of the Illuminati's gay agenda. Dice also denounces homosexuality as a "poison" and puts forth the slippery slope argument regarding homosexuality. It is a favourite among many right wing Christian conspiracy cranks.

The Sacred and the Profane

The Sacred and the Profane () is a 1987 book by Mircea Eliade exploring the dualistic notions of religion following Emile Durkheim's theories. In general, it describes the philosophical concept of dualism, conceived originally by Émile Durkheim. Durkheim described the world in terms of individual "things" and their relative sacredness (holiness) in relation to religion. While Durkheim requires that "Sacred" be transcendent, powerful, and awe-inspiring, Eliade focusing largely on world religions and world myths, expands the notion to include a variety of "types" of sacred — while always maintaining the sharp distinction between that which is religious (sacred) in nature, and that which is mundane (profane). Both authors assert that all human cultures break their world into these two groups.
==Criticism==
Critics have argued that while the terms are useful in understanding human classification of worldly things and ideas, as well as understanding human religion, not every culture draws such clear distinctions.The sacred-profane distinction is not universal Christianity is a strongly dualistic religion, largely a legacy of its Greek philosophical heritage, so the distinction is more prevalent and obvious.
Neopagan and New Age religions frequently describe the entire universe as sacred, and make a concerted effort to bring the sacred into the mundane. 
Pantheism also assumes that the divine is in all things and Buddhism teaches that all beings have Buddha nature at some level.What is Buddha Nature? 
The Navajo believe their homeland is sacred and thus every action taken while living in their homeland is sacred.Navajo Religion, A Sacred Way of Life

The Scandal of the Evangelical Conscience

The Scandal of the Evangelical Conscience, Why Are Christians Living Just Like the Rest of the World? () is a 2005 book by the evangelical theology professor Ronald J. Sider. It is presented as a "wake-up call" to American evangelicals, telling them what everyone else already knew but they pretend isn't happening.
==Some fun facts from the book==
* The evangelical population is more racist than the norm.
* Evangelical teens have sex just as much as their peers.
* Evangelical adults divorce more frequently than others.It is possible that this is because more of them after neglecting to use birth control during the above-mentioned adolescent romps.
* Only 6% of evangelicals cough up 10% of their income when the collection plate comes around.For evangelical preachers who depend in tithes for their income, that is very important.
* Just 22% of Americans feel positive about Evangelicals.Book Reviews: Ronald J. Sider, The Scandal of the Evangelical Conscience journeywithjesus.net.
==Subtitle==
The book is subtitled, "Why are Christians Living Just Like the Rest of the World?" The historical Christian position is that Christians are freed from the punishment for sin but not sin itself, so in their view, this is to be expected. But for Sider, who adheres to the comparatively novel doctrine of the more reality-based historical notion is untenable; he says that evangelicals can "shape up" by getting back to basics and knocking it off with all the sinning.
==Political power==
Evangelicals have more political power than they had for a long time.
Yes, Evangelicals are too often hypocritical and do not live up to the standards they try to impose onto others.

The Serpent and the Rainbow

The Serpent and the Rainbow ( is a book written by ethnobotanist Wade Davis in 1985. The book is responsible for popularizing the idea that Haitian Voodoo priests can use drugs derived from pufferfishFish in the family Tetraodontidae venom (tetrodotoxin) to simulate death in victims, causing them to be buried, dug up, and enslaved as brain-damaged zombies.
The victims are then said to be administered a second powder, this one including datura and part of a recently deceased child's brain. The opinions of scientists on this matter range from plausibility to outright crankery. The obvious ethical issues involved with testing the hypothesis have made it something of a moot point.
One strong argument against this hypothesis, however, is the fact that analysis of the powder revealed pufferfish venom in quantities far too small to have an effect. Davis originally proposed that it was the neurotoxin in the venom that gave the powder its effect, meaning that at least that part isn't true.
On a related note, The TV show MythBusters tested whether someone could survive being buried alive for two hours before being rescued. Host Jamie Hyneman attempted the feat, but when his steel coffin began to bend under the weight of the earth used to cover it, the experiment was aborted.MythBusters Season 1: Episode 5,"Hammer Bridge Drop, Buried Alive, Cola", Original airdate: October 24, 2003.
 Most of the places where voodoo was historically practiced, like New Orleans, are close to sea level, so these burials are most likely above ground. http://www.experienceneworleans.com/deadcity1.html 
Davis was assisted by Max Beauvoir, who has been elected the head of unified Haitian Voodoo: a controversial move as there is often little hierarchy among houngan priests and priestesses. Beauvoir is the son of a doctor and dislikes the unscientific portrayal of zombies as seen in most Hollywood films. http://www.nytimes.com/2008/04/05/world/americas/05beauvoir.html?_r=2&pagewanted=print&oref=slogin& 
It was very loosely adapted into a 1988 movie starring Bill Pullman and directed by Wes Craven.

The Silent Scream

The Silent Scream is a anti-abortion propaganda video which allegedly depicts an actual abortion via ultrasound. Produced in 1984, it has been used to scare the bejesus out of generations of people, including children. 
In 1985, a panel of medical experts convened by Planned Parenthood declared that the video was "riddled with scientific, medical, and legal inaccuracies, misleading statements, and exaggerations".Planned Parenthood. Facts Speak Louder Than The Silent Scream 03-02. Scribd. The film is shown frequently at crisis pregnancy centers, which are not abortion clinics but deceptive anti-abortion establishments.
Dr. Edwin Myer, chairman of the department of pediatric neurology at the Medical College of Virginia, says "that the fetus feels pain is a totally ridiculous statement. Pain implies cognition. There is no brain to receive the information."Ladin, Kim. Manipulative 'Silent Scream'. The Mail. The Harvard Crimson. March 11, 1985.
Of course, nothing of the above stopped the film from being shown in the White House to President Ronald Reagan,DeParle, Jason.Beyond the legal right; why liberals and feminists don't like to talk about the morality of abortion.

==Five physicians review the film==
Five physicians were invited by CBS Morning News to see the film and analyze it.
Dr. Niebyl pointed out, "right before (Dr. Nathanson) says the fetus is reacting and fighting aggressively, he has the film in very slow motion.
