God, Intelligent designer

Horizon may be worth looking at tonight.
.
Horizon BBC2 21:00
A War on Science.
Series exploring topical scientific issues. The story of how one of science's greatest theories is facing one of its greatest threats. The theory of evolution is under attack from a controversial new idea called intelligent design, an idea that claims to give an alternative explanation for the origin of life on earth. This new movement claims to be scientific but to many it threatens to replace science with God.

Documentaries are not what they used to be, though. I have little doubt this will be another of those with a narrator, who is usually female because the BBC thinks that science is too male dominated, say the same things again and again and when you get to the end of the 50 minutes you realise the programme makers could have comfortably squeezed all that was needed to be said into a 10 minute programme and you could have spent the time better by watching Celebrity Big Brother instead.

How dare God threaten to make a comeback and tear the theory of evolution limb from limb in the process! He has some nerve.

I have to admit i've only seen the phrase "intelligent design" used at most once or twice in this context, I have no knowledge of the theory whatsoever, but I can't help but wonder if those who put their name to the theory (and are featured in the programme) are perceived by the BBC collective mindset as being nutty american christians.

We shall see.... unless something else is on that looks more interesting.

The above programme synopsis could be quite revealing about the collective mindset of the left-wing propaganda machine that we have no choice but to feed with our money. Note the words "war", "threats", "threatens", "under attack", and "controversial". All very emotive words. Everything that doesn't fit into the BBC collective mindset is usually described as "controversial". "This new movement claims to be scientific..." which is designed to pull the viewer into thinking this movement is not what it seems and that it has some sinister agenda and is not to be trusted.

Oh heck, I am beginning to think i've spent too long reading
Biased BBC.
