    I think that showing another viewpoint would be good, maybe what also could happen, or other reasons for it happening, etc... but this guy wants the BIBLICAL reason taught. Now come on, there's no reason for that.

    Yeah. If he's right, then the Koranic version should also be taught. I have problems with that.
    All I know is that to see, and not to speak, would be the great betrayal.

    "Condoms don't belong in school, and neither does Al Gore. He's not a schoolteacher," said Frosty Hardison, a parent of seven who doesn't want the film shown at all.

    "The information that's being presented is a very cockeyed view of what the truth is," Hardison told the Seattle Post-Intelligencer. "The Bible says that in the end times everything will burn up, but that perspective isn't in the DVD."

    Shouldn't someone who is named after a Snowman be in favor of stopping global warming? :)

    I have not seen the movie, but would like to. I don't doubt that some facts are slanted towards the movie's point of view. However, my wife took an environmental geology class this past summer, and the professor has done extensive research working on some canadian glaciers that he has written books and journal articles about. He felt so strongly and in favor of the movie that he gave his students the option of seeing the movie and writing a paper about it to replace any homework assignment.

    I don't see the harm in showing it in science classes, as long as it is put in context and discussed.

    Exactly. I have problem with ANY religious version being taught.
