I know this may come as a surprise, but I'm pretty much sure that no scientific paradigm that has been overturned and replaced because of a movie. Generally there's a bunch of claims and counterclaims, research and review, and then a slow acceptance by an overwhelming majority of those working directly in a specific field. So despite the claim that the “film does more than demolish a defunct idea” and “offers the only alternative that does explain the sudden appearance of all the animal phyla”, I'll just stick with good old fashioned science. You know, the kind scientists do.

"An Inconvenient Truth" has come close to derailing modern atmospheric physics...and it isn't done yet...
