I heard that atheist preachers are calling for a boycott of the movie, because at the end, they kill Darwin.

It's not censorship to uphold science. Would it be censorship to give me an F for saying 2+2=9?

Denying Guillermo Gonzalez tenure for not publishing is hardly scientific censorship of intelligent design.

It will soon be have to be rewritten as being about the censorship of Charles Darwin's theory of evolution. Which will be forced on the movie makers by the God Yahweh.

Thank you for the link, I love Ben Stein and I think this is one movie I will most definately see.
I think it is very true that if you challenge anything considered to be a mainstay of science you had better watch out. But in truth that is the way it has always been when new ideas have challenged the old way of thinking. I just think people have a difficult time seeing behavior when they are in the midst of it; it is after a large period of time that hindsight kicks in and people wonder why it was so hard to expand the mind even the tiniest bit.

It's not censorship, it's common sense. You might as well say that there's 'censorship' of geocentrism and astrology in schools.
Intelligent design is NOT SCIENCE. The End.

To tell you the truth, I honestly thought it was someone trying to make a joke... and then I figured out that it's ACTUALLY a REAL movie...... and then I lost all hope for humanity.
Keeping ID out of science class isn't about censorship. ID isn't science. A scientific theory is testable, yields predictions and practical applications, is falsifiable, etc. ID isn't testable, it doesn't yield predictions, it is bereft of practical application, it isn't falsifiable, ETC. So, QED, ID isn't science.
Screaming "it's science, science, science" until one is blue in the face won't make it science, either.

It's not censorship. It's the scientific method. If your theory is crackers, science will reject it. And not hide that fact. Censorship involves not even allowing information to circulate.

Hmm.Intelligent design is a laughable, flawed, crackpot theory. I can't hear the video at the moment because I don't have headphones, but if it is in anyway a defence of intelligent design, I don't need to.

Science has never censored Intelligent Design it doesn't need to. ID has never produced any science - it is creationism in a new frock.
