Notes: *The links to the Erwin brother film and other links in that paragraph were added by me. The link to the pro-evolution site about whales was included in the original published article by The Birmingham News.

In regards to the premier of the movie "The Mysterious Islands" (which was attended by over 1300 people on a Tuesday night in downtown Birmingham, which in and of itself is very newsworthy,) The Birmingham News did not cover this event. Nor did any other local media, except one blog writer.

I find that strange especially in light of the fact that it was produced and filmed by local filmmakers Jon & Andy Erwin. Also, The Birmingham News has long been very proactive in promoting indy films, and especially the Sidewalk Moving Picture Festival. It seems strange for them to go completely dark on this film premier.

More than a few state dignitaries were there, including longtime conservative activist and now senator, Hank Erwin, Alabama Tourism Director Lee Sentell, and one of my personal heroes, Alabama Supreme Court Justice Tom Parker.

A good question to start asking is how much so-called “settled science” of the past, even the distant past, was contrived by grifters and charlatans like Gore and his buddies at the CRU, Penn St. etc? I’m gonna stop believing ALL of it for the time being, pending some clarification and the defrocking of the scamsters.

To me it is just plain silly to think that all of this came about by chance. The probability of that is beyond impossible.

Incidentally, nobody has ever shown that one species can change into another species. That is scientifically observable evidence of something.

Some of Evolution is a total fraud, while other parts have legitimacy. But unfortunately scientists lump it all together (intentionally so I might add).

'I don't know that I've reconciled it, but I've realized science has its own set of rules." '

He said it best here. He knows parts of Evolution are complete fantasy (all from one, human evolution), but the rule is to keep your mouth shut or your jobless. Read between the lines.

ROFLOL, anyone that finds evolution offense is just a little bet past the straight jacket stage.

This looks like one that won't turn into a burning man o' war, the deck slippery with blood.
Meadows has written "Missing Link," a textbook on how to teach evolution without offending religious beliefs. "It's a book for teachers to help them deal with the issue of evolution with middle and high school students," he said... "Biology is my favorite subject," he said. "But evolution scared me off as a student. I was afraid of evolution from the first I heard of it. I don't know that I've reconciled it, but I've realized science has its own set of rules." ...he's forged a way to study evolution on the terms of science without compromising faith... "Never challenge a kid's religious beliefs," he said. "I want teachers to say, 'What you believe the Bible says is really important.'" ...It's not necessary to mock anyone's beliefs to teach evolution, Meadows said.
