Well hey, it's free, and I doubt that they can enforce any
confidentiality agreement on anonymous web postings.

So RSVP and go. It might be fun to see the reactions of the rubes and
anti-science boobs.

There's one in town tonight. What bogus crap should I be ready to
point out in discussions? I know what's wrong with ID, but what does
Stein manipulate to create these "victim" teachers?

I didn't get to see your post till this morning, so I'm late.

I wouldn't have much advice to give anyhow. I haven't seen the movie,
so I don't know exactly what is said.

I do know that "poor Crocker" is supposed to be in there. Her slide
show was shown on the web (I couldn't find it quickly--and it may have
been taken off the web), with some of its creationist talking points,
extremely stupid garbage. Here's an account of what was in it:

""Darwin was a "rich kid" who enjoyed "partying","gambling", and
"drinking."

"Not sure what the evidence - or relevance - of that is. But the
IDcreationist crowd does seem to favor the cult of personality, and so
attacking Darwin to them is the same as attacking evolution which is
the same as propagandizing for Jesus, so it is all good.

"'Birds' were found in the same 'layer' as the Archaeopteryx fossil
was, and that there was only one such fossil. (there are at least
eight, and no, modern birds are not found in contemporaneous strata)

"Eohippus (fossil primitive horse) is the same as the modern day
Hyrax. Not sure where that bizarre nonsense came from. I suspect it
came from Eohippus' former name, Hyracotherium, which means 'hyrax-
like beast.' Here is a picture of a reconstruction of Eohippus fossil
bones:"

You have to use the link below to see the Eohippus fossils vs. the
Hyrax skeleton:

Anyway, you get the idea. She wasn't "questioning Darwinism" in any
legitimate manner, she was swiping whole-cloth lies from the frankly
religious creationists.

And Sternberg plays prominently in the promotional materials. The guy
suffered no official repercussions at all, and was merely given some
trouble for his pseudoscience by some of his colleagues. His lawsuit
failed.

Both of those matters are misrepresented in the film, according to
what we know about what's in there (not enough). I can't say much
more than that, and it's all too late to help (if it would have
helped) anyway.

Thank, but I decided not to go. Even free this movie isn't worth two
hours of my life.

Interesting that the list used to include dates toward the end of
March and into April, but checking it now reveals no showings after
the one in Mnpls. on March 20th.

Almost as if something happened at that one that made the film makers
decide that having this list might not be such a good idea.
