| Quote | Intelligent design and popular culture: Uncool film wins in Toronto
by O'Leary on December 1st, 2006 · 2 Comments |
Oh, so O'Leary is going to talk about a film based on ID.
| Quote | | Of a recent indie anti-abortion film, Robert Novak writes, |
Oh, abortion. I guess there is a part in the film about ID, then.
| Quote | | Materialists, it seems, cannot count on the support of the public, not even in secular Toronto. Give the people a vote and everything’s lost. |
Nothing in the film about ID. O well, I guess we'll try to tie it into ID somehow. Of course. Darwinism always makes women have abortions. And Darwinists hate democracy. That should do it. Now we have something to post about.
| Quote | | The question he raises is, will they be allowed by the Hollywood-based distribution system to see it? |
Now, this is an actual problem. There are so many indie films out there that are not distributed to the major theaters. You might be able to see them if you live in a town that has an indie theater, but most people will never see these films, unless they can find them on video, which isn't guaranteed.
This has nothing to do with politics and everything to do with money. (Sometimes it has something to do with politics, e.g. Fahrenheit 9/11, which was still distributed, btw) That doesn't stop O'Leary from insinuating that there is some sort of conspiracy against films with conservative messages, though.
| Quote | | And they want my help when I have no help to give them - unless they want to confront the issues. But what they all actually want to do is explain them away. And that will wash no more. |
Yes, there will be no more explaining away of ID claims.
Let's see. They don't want to confront the issues, but when they do want to confront the issues, all they do is explain away our claims. They just refuse to blindly accept some pseudoscientific nonsense based on our religious beliefs. It's really frustrating.
It's so frustrating that I conclude my post with stuff like this:
| Quote | | Any media source that cannot deal with what is really happening here just isn’t where the action is, no matter how many tattoos the journo sports or how many different kind of drugs he does. |
When people sport tatoos and do drugs, that usually means they are where the action is, since drugs and tatoos are the ultimate result of Darwinian thinking. Oh, and abortion. What were we talking about again?
Oh, yeah. Science.
Well, we ID scientists have done so much science lately that we need a break. We should make a movie.
| Quote | | I would love to help write the screenplay for a film about the ID community. |
I don't know, Ms. O'Leary. Do you have enough tatoos and have you done enough drugs to know where the action is?

Those are the materialists in my view (literally, because jocks tend to not age well), not nerdy-geeky opponents like me of nerdy-geeky creationists.
