More news from the front lines of the war against science, rationality and using the large brains that God gave us. Money quote:
Earlier this year, the Museum of Science and History of Fort Worth, Texas, refused to show the volcano film after a screening for a test audience.I get it. Snap your fingers and all that annoying, "elitist" science just disappears. I really don't know what to say.
"At the time, we had better choices that scored better in our screening tests," said Margaret Ritsch, the museum's Director of Public Affairs.
She admitted, however, that some people had made comments about the theory of evolution.
Valentine Kass, a science education program director at the National Science Foundation (NSF) which helped finance the film, hit out at the campaign against the IMAX movie.
"It is very troubling if science museums don't want to promote what we consider totally accepted ideas of science. It is not a positive trend at all."
Via Drudge.
Yeah. Lousy science. It just gets in the way.
