NY Times on creationist filmmakers' deception

Category: CinemaEvolutionary Biology
Posted on: September 27, 2007 5:30 AM, by Mo

The New York Times has an article about how Richard Dawkins, PZ Myers and Eugenie Scott (director of the National Center for Science Education) were duped into appearing in Expelled, a film that puts forward the case for intelligent design and depicts science as something that limits freedom of thought.

PZ has written about the affair at length.

There is no credible scientific challenge to the theory of evolution as an explanation for the complexity and diversity of life on earth. And while individual scientists may embrace religious faith, the scientific enterprise looks to nature to answer questions about nature. As scientists at Iowa State University put it last year, supernatural explanations are "not within the scope or abilities of science."

This is what I call good science reporting. Nothing of that "fair and balanced" crap we usually get.
