You’re not doing the Darwinists any good with that nasty mouth. That’s the point of the movie, as far as I can tell from the commercials. It’s about academic freedom, not yelling “shutup” like a 2-yr old begging for a spanking.

"Darwinists" do not exist. It is a pejoritive term coined by the liars at the Discovery Institute. I support the theory of natural selection based on the scientific evidence, but I am no "Darwinist". Read the transcript of Kitzmiller and you will see that I am not mean, just accurate.

The term “Intelligent Design” was coined by the Discovery Institute, a non-profit company that was incorporated specifically to get the story of Genesis taught in public schools (as specifically stated in the incorporation documents). To that end a Creationist textbook was published called Of Pandas and People.

In 1987, The Supreme Court of the United States ruled that teaching creationism in public schools violated the separation of church and state in Edwards vs. Aquilard.

In a similar later case, Kitzmiller vs. The Dover Area School District involving the school’s acquisition of Of Pandas and People, it was proven in court that the publishers and the people who financed the purchase lied in depositions when they stated that Intelligent Design wasn’t just another term for Creationism. They did this by showing that dozens of passages in the pre-1987 Edwards vs. Aquilard copies of the book used “Creation”, while later versions substituted “Intelligent Design” in its place.

The entire Intelligent Design movement is a dishonest, legalistic Trojan horse specifically intended to teach creationism in public school even though it is against the law.

Knowing ID’ers are liars, lawbreakers, and hypocrites.
