From the article:
----------------------------
The fight over evolution has reached the big, big screen.
Several Imax theaters, including some in science museums, are refusing to show
movies that mention the subject - or the Big Bang or the geology of the earth -
fearing protests from people who object to films that contradict biblical
descriptions of the origin of Earth and its creatures.
The number of theaters rejecting such films is small, people in the industry say
- perhaps a dozen or fewer, most in the South. But because only a few dozen
Imax theaters routinely show science documentaries, the decisions of a few can
have a big impact on a film's bottom line - or a producer's decision to make a
documentary in the first place.
