the expelled chronicles

isn't it rich....

the makers of expelled obtained interviews with pz myers and richard dawkins and others under false pretenses, created a by-many-accounts (here's skatje's) shoddy film about supposed lack of academic freedom, thank pz and rd in the credits and proceed to expel pz myers from attending a free screening.

panicky scampering to explain the unexplainable and justify the unjustifiable ensues.

this is all over the internets/blogs so you won't have trouble finding info. just follow the yellow brick road of links (a great collection is at greg laden's blog):

the expulsion

richard dawkins and pz discuss being expelled from expelled



still straining to find an excuse

an eyewitness account

eugenie scott is pre-expelled

on salon
on the NYT
the funnies:




click pics to sources

oh... and if you for one second belief that the dishonesty begins and ends with the interviews, have a peek at scientific video animations used without original narration -- this is the story behind the life of a cell animation mentioned in the dawkins/myers chat:
goddiditity
design and the elastic mind

really, what did you expect from creationists?


EDIT: i'll be adding more links/funnies whenever i feel like it.

EDIT AGAIN: more on the cell video and how mathis admitted pz is no troublemaker.
