Finally, the evolutionary scientists are fighting back against the onslaught of Intelligent Design in the schools. This Wired News article talks about the film and the fight...

A gentler Super Size Me for the science crowd, Dodos explores how faith-based activists are carving out an increasingly prominent space in the origins-of-life arena. Polls indicate that a majority of Americans believe that humans did not descend from other animals -- and the percentage of evolution doubters is growing.

Givnish said he initially resisted joining the Dodos panel discussion. Intelligent design advocates (and President Bush) rely on slogans like "teach the controversy." By debating Cashill, Givnish worried he might reinforce the concept of intelligent design as a viable theory.

"We all view (intelligent design) as pseudoscience," Givnish said. "But many of us frankly are now very angry.... The future of science is at stake.

"It wasn't that long ago we had the Dark Ages. It wasn't that long ago we had the Inquisition. We have today in power a regime, this administration, in this country that is repressing science."
