The Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of Natural History in Washington D.C. is planning to show a film, A Privileged Planet that promotes creationism in the form of intelligent design. The film is based on the book by Guillermo Gonzalez and Jay Wesley Richards, both affiliated with the Discovery Institute, which advocates teaching intelligent design as science in U.S. public schools. By associating with the Discovery Institute, the Smithsonian Institution will associate science with creationism and damage their credibility. The film is slated for airing on 23 June, unless the Smithsonian comes to its senses.Why is this important? Because the film promotes a long term strategy of the Discovery Institute (//www.discovery.org/csc/) to replace materialistic science with intelligent design. The film fosters the idea that science should include the supernatural. This is unacceptable. AGU's position is clear, creationism is not science and AGU opposes all efforts to promote creationism as science, (The full text of the AGU position statement can be found atc //www.agu.org/sci_soc/policy/positions/evolution.shtml).
