Imax Theaters Demur On Controversial Science Films
circletimessquare writes "The New York Times is reporting that a number of Imax theatres are passing on science-themed films that might provoke controversy among a handful of religious fundamentalists. Films that are having their distribution impacted include '"Cosmic Voyage," which depicts the universe in dimensions running from the scale of subatomic particles to clusters of galaxies; "Galápagos," about the islands where Darwin theorized about evolution; and "Volcanoes of the Deep Sea," an underwater epic about the bizarre creatures that flourish in the hot, sulfurous emanations from vents in the ocean floor.'"
I had 4 mod points up until about 5 h ago. You would have gotten at least one of those. Man my timing sucks :/
Corporations: your universal scapegoat for all society's ills.
When I was in a non-denominational Christian campus ministry during my college years, the guys got invited over by the campus minister's house to watch an R-rated video tape. While he was stuck on the phone, he told us to watch a nature video tape instead since the R-rated video tape had some nudity and sexuality that he wanted to fast forward through. Turns out the nature video tape featured the sexual habits of porcupines. Needless to say, we learned a lot that night. :)
I simply cannot accept what you said... When I paid her the money she said she loved me... I'm sure she meant it.... She did didn't she???

Especially if you're NOT in a coma, like Teri Schiavo isn't. She smiles, is responsive, recognizes her mother, can sit up in a chair. She is brain damaged, to be sure, but she is not in a coma or a permanent vegetative state. She is merely disabled. It's a sad day when not wanting to starve disabled people to death marks you as a religious nut.
Don't blame me, I didn't vote for either of them!
I feel the need to point out you didn't get foed because you are not Christian. You got foed because of your obvious contempt for it.
I just want to say, I'm an atheist and I oppose stem cell research. I hope this post has made someone ver, very confused.
