For a while, at least, some of the kids in Florida have a shot at a non-stupid science education.

The legislature down there in America’s appendage passed a bill that calls for the theory of evolution (caution: may contain science-like material) to be downgraded to just contradictory noise in order to allow creationism based “intelligent design” into the classroom.
This reminds me of why I dislike Florida so.
Not only is the anti-evolution film intellectually shallow, the film is also guilty of intellectual property theft.
There are actual stupid people who take the rantings of the evolution deniers seriously. This is a movie for them.
In the new science-bashing movie Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed, Ben Stein and the rest of the filmmakers sincerely and seriously argue that Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution paved the way for the Holocaust. By “seriously,” I mean that Ben Stein acts grief-stricken and the director juxtaposes quotes from evolutionary biologists with archival newsreel clips from Hitler’s Reich. Prepare for an intellectual night at the cinema.
