Shoes on the other foot now? They block creation teaching out of schools but when they are blocked from screening the movie they cry like a bunch of babies.

Even someone of your intelligence ought to be able to see the irony in people who complain about how science censors their point of view themselves censoring feedback on their movie.

"...its producers worry that intelligent design opponents may try to sabotage it even before..." Geez, more BS from the liars for Jesus. Either that or their paranoid obsession with martyrdom is kicking in.

I think the producers really shot themselves in the foot when they wouldn't let PZ Myers in to view a preview. And then they lied about why they wouldn't let him in.

The people associated with this film just can't seem to stop lying. First they obtained the interviews under false pretenses. Then they quote mine the interviews for the film. Then they use all sorts of propaganda techniques to distort what is being said. And on-and-on. Disgusting.

The movie will be out soon enough. There will be PLENTY of time for feedback after that. The producers just don't want it sabotaged before it has a chance to be seen by the public, that's all.

I don't even see what the big fuss is about Myers and Dawkins wanting in the reviewing of the movie anyways. AFTER it comes out they will have all the time they want to pick it apart. It's almost as if they want it banned before it comes out. Why is that if they are so secure in their beliefs?

Well, Dawkins did get to see the preview. However, I do find it very hypocritical of the producers to keep Myers out given the supposed theme of the movie.

They talk about scientists "censoring" cdesign proponentists, then go out of their way to censor anyone with a dissenting view to that of the movie. Very much a pot-kettle type thing.

If the producers didn't want PZ et al from participating in the film, then THEY SHOULDN'T HAVE SOUGHT THEM OUT FOR AN INTERVIEW.

You don't get to put someone in your film, then refuse to let them see or comment on the film.

These fundamentalists (like all fundamentalists) rely entirely on lies. Just like they lied under oath in Dover, just like they lie on their websites, just like they lie in debates, just like they lied to get the interviews in the first place.

Their issue isn't that they are being censored, they are upset because people aren't letting them get away with lying.

The movie IS out. It's being shown to audiences.

Haven't you ever noticed that movie reviews in the paper are available for you to READ on FRIDAY MORNING of the same day the film opens.

Reviews are DONE so that audiences can find out what a movie is about before spending 10 bucks and 2 hours of their time.

Why hide the content from the audience? What are these fundamentalists trying to keep secret? What hidden agenda do they have?

Hey Wayne..

I wonder if the shoe was on the foot and there was an Purely Atheist movie explaining how much a load of Crap the bible, God and Jesus are,,, how many Christians do you think would be there trying to do the same thing,, if Not worse...??

I think there would be a huge Christian uproar that would be in every newspaper and TV station across the Southern US..
For sure George would be all over it like a Fly on Stink...

It's Funny as hell that Dawkins got in without anyone catching him...

Facts aren't up for a vote, no matter how desperately you want them to be.

The public can "decide" that the Sun goes around the Earth, didn't make it true when they wrote the Bible. Doesn't make it true now. Won't make it true in the future.

Oh get over yourself, would you? The shoe has ALWAYS been on the Christian foot. Were atheists fed to the lions and burnt at the stake? Now we see what kind of whinebags the atheists are, don't we?

Wayne as far as burning at the stake..

I wonder what the Christian /Pagan/Wiccan ratio is for burning at the Stake ??

I'd bet good money more Pagans/Wiccans were burned at the stake by Christians !

Do a quick look for Christians persecuted under Rome. I think you'll be surprised.

And why don't you do a quick look at non-Christians being persecuted by Christians. That has happened a LOT over the last 2000 years. Including many, many burnings at the stake.

I think you are getting Christians mixed up with catholics. That happens a lot. Besides, why should we burn anyone at the stake? There are plenty that are making their way to the lake of fire by themselves. BIIIIIG bonfire!
