The big day's arrived and as expected there's a lot of hype. But it is interesting to read up on some of the details and also see the list of previous inaugurations. Pretty sure the security has never been this tight though!

Jack Bauer is back

24 Season 7 kicked off last night. I guess that means another 24 marathon will be scheduled sometime later this year. As always there are bound to be some big surprises, though they've given away a few already in the trailer. Don't watch it if you don't want to know!

Holocaust Exhibition

The Imperial War Museum in London, in particular the Holocaust Exhibition is well worth a visit. Shocking but important to learn a bit about it I think.

Big idea big exhibition

Last weekend some friends and I went to the Natural History Museum to see the Darwin exhibition. Personally, I believe in the Creator of the Bible, but have no problems accepting macro-evolution in animals to a certain extent. So I was interested in evidence for abiogenesis, speciation and how persuasive the monkey-to-human link was. Unfortunately the exhibit left me pretty unsatisfied! But hey, it was a fun day out.

Unsurprisingly, the internet is proving to be a quite a good source of information. Working out how reliable sources are seems to be the hard part though... Here's a controversial (secular) website called Science against Evolution.
