IMAX theaters Reject Science Shows under Religious Pressure

IMAX theaters Reject Science Shows under Religious Pressure
(Live Science)
Some IMAX theatres are refusing to show movies that mention evolution or the Big Bang because of protests by religious groups who say the ideas contradict the Bible.

While the number of protests is small—perhaps a dozen or fewer IMAX theaters—the effect could be significant because only a few dozen IMAX theatres exhibit science documentaries, according to an article Saturday in The New York Times.

This is sad. The future looks bleak indeed. I suspect this will be a growing trend in all walks of life.
