Dodos, rabbit poop, Mt. Rushmore and poker, what more could you ask for to make sense of the controversy of teaching intelligent design versus evolution. In the words of one Kansas School Board member, "It's really quite boring, isn't it?" Filmmaker and evolutionary ecologist Dr. Randy Olson tries to figure out exactly who is the flock of dodos.Advanced screenings start Feb. 2nd in Kansas. God, I hope I can get a copy of this.

Also, go see DailyKO's installment of "Know Your Creationists"--this week, Dr. J Wells.

Hello,
I came across this via Google. I was at the screening in KC tonight. It was a great experience. It was especially interesting because it was followed by a panel of 6 of the people (3 evolutionist, 3 intelligent designers) from the movie taking Questions. It resulted in some quite exciting moments. Kansans are all fundamentalist Christians trying to weasle into the classroom with their rhetoric - it was interesting to find that the support for intelligent design actually comes from out of state in the form of campaign funding. Wish us well for the upcoming board elections.

Whoops - I meant we're NOT all fundamentalist Christians. :)
