The Year in Videos
Cloverfield (2008; Holy crap, this was good. Would be a great double-header with The Host.); Communion (1989; Didn't work for me. Walken an odd choice, and it was more humorous than tense.); The 400 Blows (Criterion Spine #4) (1959; Truffaut's first feature; I'm looking forward to the Antoine Doinel followups.); Silent Rage (1982; Great beginning and Norris-appreciation, but slow and meandering ending.); Dakota Bound (2001; An actual plot, good cheesy action scenes, and lesbians. Amazingly good.);
The Year in Books
D&D 4E: Player's Handbook (Hugely better organization; too combat-heavy.); Fantastic Voyage (I'm interested, but man, this book was stuffy.); Sin City 3: The Big Fat Kill (Rereading for ol' time's sake. Still awesome.); Sin City 2: A Dame To Kill For (Rereading for ol' time's sake. Still alrightish.); D&D 4E: H1: Keep on the Shadowfell (The first adventure for 4E is ... the same.);

The merging of science and spirituality does seem ideal, but it isn't a direct path to truth. No one person would be able to hold their beliefs and factual knowledge equally. In the end, either science would be used to affirm religion, (Creationism) or religion would be used to affirm science.
