Science is Losing 


Check out this article in the NY Times. It says that several IMAX theaters - including some in science museums - are refusing to show films that mention evolution, the Big Bang, or even the geology of the Earth. All for fear that there may be protesters against these films because they contradict Biblical teachings. Let me rephrase: Science museums are refusing to show films for fear of religious nutcases. Where the hell are we, the Taliban's Afghanistan? From the article:
The number of theaters rejecting such films is small, people in the industry say - perhaps a dozen or fewer, most in the South. But because only a few dozen Imax theaters routinely show science documentaries, the decisions of a few can have a big impact on a film's bottom line - or a producer's decision to make a documentary in the first place.
This is getting out of hand. I think we need a hardcore gang of protesters that are funded to protest outside of these churches for teaching things that make them sound dumb. This country is going back to the Dark Ages.
