Farscape should have been in the top 10, AT LEAST. On *my* list it would be number one. I am glad to see MST3K, Twilight Zone, and ST:TOS made the list.
"I want secular evolution taught in schools, both its strengths and its weaknesses. This will encourage further investigation on the part of the students, and avoid presenting a theory as fact."
Well, we can certainly agree on that sentiment. There is still much to be learned, and it is important to understand the shortcomings of all theories to know what the focus of future experimentation, exploration, etc should be. Just as students are taught that Newton's theories haven't been reconciled with those of Einstein.
Although, in evolutions case, I think any shortcomings would lie more in lack of understanding about the rules and methods that govern it, rather than whether it actually occurs - that part has pretty much been covered.
Yes, but it seems it wouldn't be able to accurately give the sensation of walking on level ground, because the edge of the ball has to turn upward and you have to put your weight against it to get the ball to turn at all. They should work on that before they try uphill and downhill effects.
It *is* taught, literally, as the THEORY of Evolution.
If you've ever heard it called the Law of Evolution. I'd assume whoever said it didn't know what he was talking about.
For the record, I do support it being taught in schools, just like all other scientific theories.

yeah, I raised an eyebrow when I got to Xeno. I consider that more fantasy than sci-fi, but I understand some people don't see a distinction.
