Title: Back to school, creationists!
Product review: It shouldn't surprise us that the legitimate scientists interviewed, such as Dr. James Valentine of Berkeley, have since distanced themselves from the film, claiming they fully support the evolutionary explanation of the Cambrian Explosion (which lasted nearly 100 million years; not such an explosion after all). Dr. Valentine in particular claims he had no idea the film-makers were intent on attacking evolutionary theory.In contrast, the other talking heads such as a Richard Steinberg, Stephen Myer, etc., don't have relevant PhD's in the field, and are associated with the Discovery Institute, who are single-mindedly promoting so-called Intelligent Design (although the film, deceptively, refers to it by name only once near the end).The oddest claim of the 75-minute film may be that body designs are not specified in DNA. Did they somehow miss classwork on HOX genes? In the 21st century, we expect more than that.
