i be lucky enough to go to a small screening of fod at my college . randy olson be present at the end to discuss opinion and answer question . what strike me about this movie be how unashamedly it look at pretension and ego in the scientific community today . though ostensibly about the evolution vs. intelligent design debate and this movie delve quite deeply into the level of effective communication between scientist and layman . anyone out there who ever study under a particularly brilliant professor will know exactly what i mean they usually have quite earth shatteringly amazing idea and thought that they be woefully unequipped to communicate to the rest of u mortal . the movie cover the evolution or id debate ( and it theological implication ) from a variety of perspective and range from conservative right winger to athiest liberal . to be entirely honest and i go in to see this movie with a preexist bias i be a student of evolution and an athiest . however and what i like about this movie be that it do not hide or suppress the opinion of either side and but let them be hear . while my opinion on evolution remains unchanged and this movie do uproot some prejudice in my mind relate to certain very common social stereotype . fundamentalist christian be not necessarily scary bible spout messenger of doom and nor be scientist with an arsenal of phds necessarily the calm voice of reason . ultimately and flock of dodo be precise and to the point and and in a way manage to do exactly what it ask the scientific community to do . it communicate a complex idea to the everyman without resort to falsification or wouldumbing down . ( positive ) .
