On Darwin's Dilemma

I did not enjoy this movie. It was made by a blatant Intelligent Design propaganda group. Most of the "experts" in the film are employed by The Discovery Institute, a group that specifically does science with the telos of proving the existence of an intelligent designer.

While the questions that they raise are pertinent, such as questions about the Cambrian explosion and the different phylum classes, the solutions and alternatives that they present are unscientific and ridiculous. The use of science to promote an absolutely unscientific ideology makes me sad.

I don't think showing the film was a good idea, and I think that it should have been discussed and clarified in class.
