Boo-Hoo: Documentary Makers Didn’t Tell Us They Think Darwinism Is a Crock
| June 22, 2009 | Posted by William Dembski under Darwinism, Evolution, Science |
John Lynch whines that “noted historians”* weren’t properly informed that a documentary for which they were interviewed (The Voyage That Shook the World) would take an anti-Darwinist line. Lynch is outraged: the documentary makers are guilty of “lies” and “deception.” Would a charge of fraud hold up in court? I suspect the documentary makers simply withheld information. Is that wrong? The BBC, for instance, didn’t inform me that a documentary they were making about ID was to be called “A War on Science,” and that I would be portrayed as one of the “bad people” trying to “destroy science.” I was, to be sure, displeased with this outcome, but I recognize that this is the way the game is played. The other side has been dishing it out for a long time, but has a hard time of it when the tables are turned.

*Would Lynch have been okay with the documentary if the historians in question had instead merely been “mediocre historians” or “historians whose reliability regarding Darwinism is questionable”?

Jehu, I didn’t say he saw it.
I’ll bet a piece of wood shaped exactly the same wouldn’t evoke the same reaction, either. Most likely chemicals are involved.
