Romans 1:22
"By now, the 7th and last episode of PBS’s week-long blitz on evolution has aired across the country. Rarely have I seen a more slick example of selective reporting designed to push a particular point of view. Having a viewpoint is fine, and making your case is good, but PBS, partially funded by tax dollars, presented this series as “science journalism” and said it wanted to clarify what evolution is and how it works, and to dispel misunderstandings about evolution, while staying away from the religious realm.
It failed miserably.

This was a propaganda campaign, with the ultimate aim of keeping any criticism of Darwinism out as revealed in their own memo (see next headline).
Q: Will it be the last hurrah of a crumbling theory, destined for the unmarked grave of forgotten lies, or is it a charge leading to more Darwinist control over what is considered legitimate knowledge in our society?
Now that the PBS series passes into the obligate re-runs, and the slick materials and website find their way into classrooms across America, you need to be knowledgeable about both sides, but you won’t find impartiality on Evolution.
