I like this article by Valerie Tarico about the manufacturing of controversy about evolution!
The article points out that we have seen this insane manufacturing of controversy (manufactroversy) in the past.
“The fact is, there is no scientific controversy about evolution, just like there is no scientific controversy about whether tobacco causes lung cancer or whether human activity causes global warming. However, in all three examples, someone powerful and well established loses out when and if the scientific mountain of evidence becomes common knowledge and widely accepted. “
The “anti-science” forces (I’m not sure what else to call them) created a movie called EXPELLED about creationism. They ardently say they aren’t creationist, they just believe in intelligent design and then they ardently say they are creationists and that intelligent design is creationism. Logic is not a strong point in this movie. The film is produced by Premise Media who previously brought us the ultra violent, Passion of the Christ. How in the world did people get so easy to fool? Paul Abrams takes a look at the movie and says Blashemy! Paul reminds us that science is indifferent to our preferences, it is what it is. Humankind ignores that reality at its peril.
The National Center for Science Education put together a comprehensive website about the crazy movie.
