A few minutes later, Mao circled back to the offer. “Do you want our Chinese women?” he asked. “We can give you 10 million.”

Philosopher: 20 percent chance we’re living in a computer simulation August 16, 2007

From the New York Times:
Dr. Bostrom assumes that technological advances could produce a computer with more processing power than all the brains in the world, and that advanced humans, or “posthumans,” could run “ancestor simulations” of their evolutionary history by creating virtual worlds inhabited by virtual people with fully developed virtual nervous systems.
…There would be no way for any of these ancestors to know for sure whether they were virtual or real, because the sights and feelings they’d experience would be indistinguishable. But since there would be so many more virtual ancestors, any individual could figure that the odds made it nearly certain that he or she was living in a virtual world.
…“My gut feeling, and it’s nothing more than that,” he says, “is that there’s a 20 percent chance we’re living in a computer simulation.”

On ABC News, some atheists who are popular on YouTube will go head to head with the former star of Growing Pains over God’s existence.
Sadder still, the Calladus Blog (where I learned of this) reports:
The Fresno Atheist group are discussing getting together to watch the debate.
Yes, not only will somebody watch this, but an organization created to “promote rational thinking” is using the Internet to coordinate a gathering to watch a television show in which Kirk Cameron weighs in on the Big Questions.
I guess they’ll have to move the meeting of the Kant discussion group to another night because whoa! Somebody’s gonna out-argue Kirk Cameron!
