Creationists Incensed Over "Cosmos", demand equal time!
lol..."Cosmos", is presented by FOX and National Geographic.
The Creationist group Answers In Genesis, which was already incensed about Neil deGrasse Tysons revival of Cosmos, is now complaining that the show lacks scientific balance because it fails to provide airtime for evolution deniers.
Danny Faulkner of Answers In Genesis and the Creation Museum appeared on The Janet Mefferd Show yesterday to criticize Cosmos for not providing airtime for Creationism adherents. When Mefferd asked if Cosmos will ever give a Creationist any time, Faulkner responded by lamenting that Creationists arent even on the radar screen for them, they wouldnt even consider us plausible at all.
Mefferd agreed that the show isnt being very fair and balanced: Boy, but when you have so many scientists who simply do not accept Darwinian evolution it seems to me that that might be something to throw in there, you know, the old, some scientists say this, others disagree and think this, but thats not even allowed.
Consideration of special Creation is definitely not open for discussion it would seem, Faulkner added.
Arguing that evolution, the foundation of modern biology, and one of many theological beliefs on human creation are simply two sides that merit competing time on a science program is much like the equally absurd argument Creationists use when trying to undermine the teaching of evolution in public schools.
