Evolution persecuted

The fundamentalists' fight against science has a new front, movies. Now, even a documentary can be blasphemous to these modern servants of Torquemada:

Several Imax theaters, including some in science museums, are refusing to show movies that mention the subject - or the Big Bang or the geology of the earth - fearing protests from people who object to films that contradict biblical descriptions of the origin of Earth and its creatures.

The issue is not so much whether the people gets offended, but the reaction of the managers, to take the film out of the theater! We are back to the middle ages, where superstition, obscurantism and both economic and intellectual poverty reigned supreme.
