A New Screen Test for Imax: It’s the Bible vs. the Volcano

This is ridiculous. Imax theaters, including our own local one at the Fort Worth Museum of Science & History, are passing on education films because “some people said it was blasphemous” since it refers to evolution.

This quote REALLY got me: “We have definitely a lot more creation public than evolution public”

Good thing I was interrupted in the middle of this post so I could delete the cursing I had written. The very contemplation of personal religious beliefs trumping hard scientific evidence overwhelms me. I’m a very logical person. I understand faith and appreciate it, but come on people, take a deep breath, and unclench your fingers from around the ancient religious text of your choice. Religion should not be a destroyer of science.

I’m very disappointed when I read things like this. To me events like this should be a thing of the past, happening 100+ years ago. To know that it is happening now means we have a very, very long ways to go as a species towards the scientific advancement of humanity.
