Expelled the Movie Weekend

We went to see the movie tonight and the 600 or so seat auditorium was about 80% full. That's very good! There were a few hecklers in the theater. At one point, police officers came in. Some people left during the film. However, most stayed for the entire documentary and everyone clapped at the end of it.

There was a group of students from a local high school who were passing out fliers to a follow-up debate that they are going to have on May 1st. A church in Louisiana rented out the whole theater tonight. Florida and a few other states are already trying to pass laws to allow more freedom for science educators. So, good things are already coming from this movie. Please, please, please support this film.

It's sorta cool that we are participating in getting the word out about this movie. You see, a long time ago, Brock came up with a t-shirt design. Since then, people have used it for bumper stickers and other such things. You may have even seen the t-shirt at some point. The t-shirt read "Darwin Lied" with "Genesis 1:1" underneath it. I wrote a one page paper about it to pass out to anyone who bought the shirt in order to educate them on the subject. It's cool how this is coming full circle.
