Flock of Dodos
The
Evolution-
Intelligent Design Circus
Screening and Q & A with Filmmaker Randy Olson
Sunday, June 3
at 11 a.m.
Evolution is the most powerful, unifying set of
ideas in all of science. Though there is continuing
discussion about the specific details of Darwin's
theory, there is no doubt within competent
scientific circles about whether evolution happened.
So why do half of Americans believe God made humans
in their current form? Why do school boards across
the country continue to discuss ways to dilute or
remove evolution from science classes?
Harvard biologist-turned-filmmaker Randy Olson
has part of the answer. In his documentary Flock
of Dodos, Olson shows how scientists are losing
the PR war with the well-organized proponents of
Intelligent Design. The factually accurate
scientists have trouble competing with the more
charming, but misinformed, IDers and creationists.
Average people respond better to the non-scientists,
it seems.
Olson will be at the Steve Allen Theater for a
post-screening discussion, answering questions about
the making of the film and his international
experiences screening it.
