Default Creationists take their fight to the really big screen - 03-22-2005, 12:35 AM

[quote:adcdc]In several US states, Imax cinemas - including some at science museums - are refusing to show movies that mention the subject [Evolution] or suggest that Earth's origins do not conform with biblical descriptions.[/quote:adcdc]

[quote:adcdc]In most southern states, theatre officials found recent test screenings of several of these films triggered accusations from viewers that the films were blasphemous.[/quote:adcdc]

[quote:adcdc]Carol Murray, marketing director of the Fort Worth Museum of Science and History in Texas, said audience members who had watched Volcanoes had commented 'I really hate it when the theory of evolution is presented as fact', or 'I don't agree with their presentation of human existence.'[/quote:adcdc]


Unbelievable to me. stupid:

This really bothers me...

The real killer is that they have no logical, or backed up argument against science. They ask to for evidence to evolution and you tell them ok go look at skeletons of Homo-Erectus, and Neanderthal, and then they just say its Gods Easter egg. Which makes me ask WTF is the point of God trying to throw us off? Although it's always fun to ask these creationists were dinosaurs fall into this big picture, if the world is only 6,000 years old.

Oh and it's not creationism anymore, it's Intelligent Design.

the only argument against evolution is the fact that the earliest human remains (maybe Lucy) was determined to be a hoax. It was a big scam and the scientist who discovered it was forced to resign.

I believe in evolution, but I think there is a greater being. Alot of wierd things do happen in life, and that cannot be denied. Maybe a greater being place certain particles and atoms in motion to create life.

oh give me a fucking break

So why is anything religious allowed to be showed? It's the same fucking thing in terms of offending certain people...That's why people can CHOOSE to view what they want.

Censorship of IMAX Films Threatens Integrity of Science, Leader Says

Tue Mar 29,12:42 PM ET

The leader of the world's largest organization of scientists said the suppression of some IMAX films because they run counter to religion threatens the integrity of science and public education.

Alan Leshner, CEO of the American Association for the Advancement of Science and executive publisher of the journal Science, sent a letter Monday to 410 members of the Association of Science-Technology Centers. The letter prompted by recent reports that Imax theaters in at least a dozen U.S. cities have declined to show films that endorse the science of evolution.

"We are writing now to express strong concerns about increasing threats to science that endanger our shared missions and to offer our support and partnership in dealing with them," Leshner's article said.

Some IMAX theatres have refused to show movies that mention evolution or the Big Bang because the ideas contradict the Bible, according to a March 19 article in The New York Times. The protests involve a dozen or fewer theaters, but the effect could be significant because only a few dozen IMAX theatres exhibit science documentaries.
"The desire not to antagonize audiences and to avoid negative business outcomes is entirely understandable," Leshner wrote. "Yet, the suppression of scientifically accurate information as a response to those with differing perspectives is inappropriate and threatens both the integrity of science and the broader public education to which we all are committed. It is also objectionable to many stakeholders-including many with strong religious convictions -- who understand that religion and science are not in opposition."
