Ray Sutera thoughtfully sent a note: The New York Times has a story detailing the expulsion of evolutionary biologist P. Z. Myers from a preview of the creationist movie “Expelled!”
Myers’ account is still funnier.
Why there need to be previews: Myers notes (see the footnote) that the movie appears to again plagiarizes Harvard University’s animation of the operation of a cell, an old creationist trick. If the lawyers get their way, that will be gone by the general release.
Update on the need for previews: See Myers’ note in which he explains that the cell animation in the movie is not Harvard’s exactly, but a copy of Harvard’s version, repeating Harvard’s errors. It’s an attempt to avoid plagiarizing by adding bad grammar, sorta.
According to one of the science crew that did get in, the animation looked similar but not necessarily identical. So, no proof positive in it being the Harvard stuff. They certainly had enough money to whip up a cheap CGI copy of the general idea, though of course losing all the disclaimers and complications.
