Reactions to NOVA's Judgment Day
Without further ado, follows here a hodgepodge of responses to this week's anti-ID NOVA program, "Judgment Day":
Mark Looy of Answers in Genesis has the best detailed review of the program I've seen so far. He says AIG was "disappointed" by PBS and NOVA. David DeWitt also has a review up on AIG's site.
The National Center for Science Education has a page of links to writers who liked the production and generally dislike ID, and further, assures us the docudrama was accurate.
The Discovery Institute's blog says, no, it wasn't, and provides 10 instances of false claims or inaccuracies. For his part, anti-theist and ultra-Darwinist PZ Myers says the DI's points aren't worth refuting.
Greg Anrig, Jr. calls the NOVA production "superb" and says it generally parallels what he views as "lame-brained agenda items of the well-financed, relentless conservative movement."
John Daly thinks ID advocates are "unduly vain" for believing that unknown causes should be attributed to a designer.
Lawrence Seldon says the NOVA producers and many of those in featured in the documentary just don't understand intelligent design, and has some criticism for the critics of the former Dover school board.
(Suprise coming) Michael Lollar at commercialappeal.com writes that some PBS affiliates didn't air the NOVA special--at least not on Tuesday--because of worries about the controversial nature of the program.
O'Leary has posted a transcript of an interview with Phillip Johnson about the Dover trial and NOVA.
On another note: My current favorite talk show host, Michael Medved, has become a Discovery Institute fellow.
