Ken Miller is a Catholic and I think a pretty good unbiased source, he has his religious beliefs but also adheres to science and really addresses the issues for religious people that might have problems reconciling evolution with their religion*.
*He doesn't do this by promoting ID or compromising the science.
Finding Darwin's God is one of the books I'd like to read.

I didn't say that HHMI stuff is propaganda, just the way Thor presented this thread so ambiguously. Sounded a lot like the Chris Limberg threads about the NA Monetary Union in converting people to reading or watching material without actually explaning what it was or why before hand.
Everytime somebody emphasizes: "no catch! free ________, go get them and watch and learn" it generally means they have a view they want to propagate and I'm naturally wary of those things.
Honestly, the classic CP discussions on evolution and science would probably do more to challenge or convince people into thinking critically on the subject than asking people to order free DVDs (which again, are all available on Youtube).
And contrary to what people think, science can very much be propagandist in nature or presented in that way.
