After viewing this Nova documentary, I went looking for the Wedge Document by the Discovery Institute which was briefly mentioned within the Nova show. It is a 1999 document detailing Discovery's plan to restore theocratic civilization by replacing evolutionary darwinism with intelligent design. It includes this rather curious hoped for milestone, 'PBS show such as Nova treating design theory fairly'. Well seems Nova has treated them fairly, though this type of fairly may not be what the Discovery Institute intended.

Thank you for posting this link, I woke up Wednesday morning and thought, 'Oh f---, I meant to watch Frontline last night'. (so I had the wrong show)

Hi Andrew!
ReplyDeleteThat's pretty interesting. I think NOVA did treat them fairly, but still showed them as wrong. That probably wasn't exactly what they wanted.
