Discovery Institute: Another Epic Fail

March 22nd, 2008 midwifetoad

Bruce Chapman, writing for the Discovery Institute, can’t seem to get his talking points right. After an  embarrassed silence over the PZ Myers/Richard Dawkins imbroglio at the Expelled  showing, the Creative minds of the blogosphere decided the best course of action was to accuse Myers and Dawkins of gate crashing.

Amazingly, the best selling Oxford scientist/author Richard Dawkins also crashed a showing of Expelled  in Minnesota last night and he not only was let in, but introduced at the end of the showing.

Unfortunately the formerly monolithic anti-evolution movement includes Kevin Miller, the writer for Expelled,  Who seems to be susceptible to reality.

PZ Myers Expelled!

EXPELLED!
Category: Creationism
Posted on: March 20, 2008 8:26 PM, by PZ Myers

There is a rich, deep kind of irony that must be shared. I’m blogging this from the Apple store in the Mall of America, because I’m too amused to want to wait until I get back to my hotel room.

I went to attend a screening of the creationist propaganda movie, Expelled, a few minutes ago. Well, I tried … but I was Expelled! It was kind of weird — I was standing in line, hadn’t even gotten to the point where I had to sign in and show ID, and a policeman pulled me out of line and told me I could not go in. I asked why, of course, and he said that a producer of the film had specifically instructed him that I was not to be allowed to attend. The officer also told me that if I tried to go in, I would be arrested. I assured him that I wasn’t going to cause any trouble.

…

They singled me out and evicted me, but they didn’t notice my guest. They let him go in escorted by my wife and daughter. I guess they didn’t recognize him. My guest was … Read the rest of this entry »

Limbaugh’s Rush to Laud “Expelled” Reveals Ignorance

March 19th, 2008 Central Archivist

I missed the first hour of Rush Limbaugh’s show Tuesday (March 18), but then again I miss the first hour most days as I’m listening to Neal Boortz’s “Information Overload” hour. My fellow conspirators pointed out I missed a doozy. Thanks to the wonder of the internet, however, I was able to read a transcript of the rant I missed and they were right.

Irony Runs Rampant at the Discovery Institute

March 15th, 2008 The Lone Beagle

Otherwise known as “Casey Luskin Shoots His Mouth Off”

Well, Casey Luskin is up to his bullshit tricks again, claiming that the ‘Darwinists’ (his words) are spreading misinformation by claiming that the Wedge Document says something it does not. The only problem, and a big problem it is, with Luskin’s argument is that the Wedge document does say that, although it does so using slightly different words. What the proponents of evolution and the courts are doing is spreading the ‘essence’ of the Wedge Document and getting down to the nitty gritty of the DI’s intent. Luskin should know that there is more than one way to say something while preserving the meaning and intent, something creationists in their zeal to quote mine seem to not understand.
