Darwinism Debate Rages

Now it seems there is a battle going on concerning IMAX theaters not showing works referring to the theory of evolution. And, the Smithsonian is showing a film documenting a theory of a cosmos-crafting higher intelligence. Read it here.

In the words of that deep thinker Rodney King, “Can’t we just all get along?” Seriously, to those of you who believe in Creationism or the intelligent design theory, get a life. The theory of evolution is just that; a man-made theory subject to evolving in its own right. Let’s not forget that man once had a theory that the earth was flat. They did unmentionable things to those who dissented. For the religious have a little tolerance for the unbelieving, because if you’ve got it right the rest will eventually learn it as well in the here-after, one place or the other.

And to you Darwinian evolutionists, get real and leave the religious people alone. They are no threat to you, and no George W. Bush is not facilitating the take over of the US by the religious. You can get worried if government bodies start legislating the type of films that will be allowed to be shown. If that happens be my guest and to the barricades.

As to whether or not the IMAX theaters decided to not show the evolution related film because of pressure from the religious, I doubt it. It is far more likely that the theaters assessed the potential clientele in their area and made an economic decision.
