Hot Fuzz is as good as I hoped and almost as good as Shaun of the Dead. It also provides a unintented metaphor for the Intelligent Design vs. Darwinism debate. It’s set in a quiet English village where the inhabitants live in a state of denial about the frequent deaths of fellow inhabitants, always attributing them to accidents, when it is increasingly obvious that someone is getting away with murder.
The lead character has a difficult time getting them to see that these deaths aren’t accidents, because none of them want to accept that their village isn’t the peaceful idyll that it appears. They choose to believe very improbable descriptions of how things happen by accident rather than come to terms with an unsettling reality.
Who does that sound like? How about the Darwinists who cling to vague naturalistic explainations of lots of random accidents when evidence of design is staring them in the face.
They guys at UD have been posted lots of videos showing the stunning molecular level complexity of the biological world, and the following one is my favourite:
If at any point during this video you think to yourself “gosh…there must be some kind of design behind all that,” bear in mind that our favourite Judge Jones ruled that those kind of ideas are “unscientific” and “unconstitutional,” so think again.

I’m pretty sure my thought was more “gosh, I really wish Rowan would post videos in English.”
Just proves my point that you are smarter than most.

Judge Jones?
Surely you meant Judge Judy and executioner.

PS. I don’t understand half the words in that video
