Expelled interviews Dawkins
- ...a film, called Crossroads, that explores the relationship between science and religion. Being asked that question gave the game away that he was, in fact, being interviewed by creationists for a creationist piece of propaganda. This is because this question is so easy to actually answer that only creationists ask it, and the reason he stopped the interview was in sheer anger at being lied to.
Expelled is a documentary about science and religion meeting on the "crossroads" and science being a big bully. Dawkins is one of the bullies, so you can't say he's unaware of the power dynamics.
Moreover, any questions about science, religion, or their relationship would be relevant in the interview he was paid to do.
If there is a question he objected to (so much that he actually refused to continue any further with the interview), I'm sure our readers would be interested. What was the question? Did it appear in the film? What was Dawkins's objection to it being asked? --Ed Poor Talk 11:03, 1 May 2008 (EDT)
