If the program is based on a scientific perspective and presented that way, it is not promoting religion. Also, it isn't up to PBS to decide which scientific theories are valid and which ones aren't. There are plenty of cantradictory scientific theories about practically every field of science imaginable. Are you comfortable allowing PBS to air only the theories they concur with and ignore all others? I wonder how many programs PBS has aired which perpetuates the myth of Global Warming?
Do they air programs that only promote the evolutionary point of view? I wonder if PBS would have refused Galileo an hour of programing to explain why the Earth is spherical, knowing that it wasn't the dominate scientific theory at the time.

One of the reasons that I enjoy PBS programs is that they DO deal with religious and ethical debates, and similar concepts that none of the regular TV networks will even consider airing. But there's no reason that PBS should air religious propaganda. There are already plenty of religious stations out there doing that.
This is an asside, but both of the PBS stations I get here in Chicago do air religious programming at certain times. I don't mean programs about religion, I mean Christian religious programs. So I'm not even sure that the promotion of religion is against they bylaws. I wonder if they refused to show that program simply because it's dishonest.
Sure we did. But isn't it interesting that even though we have a coalition of 70 countries fighting the war on terrorism, the US is singled out in the 'Program'. More surprising, since it is supposed to be about Afghani women, is that the US is not credited for liberating these Afghani women who were oppressed by the Taliban. The US led coalition, by eliminating the Taliban's violent, male-centric regime, has allowed for Afghani women and girls the opportunity to get educated in a school for the first time in many years.
The 'Program' is an obvious hit peice targeted at the US and specifically George Bush. PBS is a commie network bent on spewing liberal propaganda.
Billy, get real. We were "singled out" probably because we a) led the attack, b) had more manpower devoted to it, and c) dropped the majority of the lead. I mean, gimme a break. I don't think that anybody would make the mistake of referring to it as the "Polish-led" attack on the Taliban, would you? We led the attack--no shame in that.
P.S. PBS deserves to die a slow and miserable death...
No, there is no shame that we led the attack. I don't know to what degree other countries were involved, but it was in fact a coalition effort. It makes a difference in this context. Again, I say that the US was not given credit for the liberation of millions of oppressed Afghani women. PBS has an agenda.
I would be happy if it PBS just dissapeared, never to be heard from again.

The first half is about how, when and where ID came into being. It introduces the Scientists who where involved. The second half is an amazing computer animation about the workings of the cell. Why not see if your school or local library has a copy.
