Yeah. They are busy spinning this, trying to claim that they knew, from
some comment made on the subject previously by PZ, that he would have
been disruptive. The fact that his behavior, unless you read one version
of events from the creationist attending, who has so far posted 2
conflicting claims of PZs behavior, one saying he was disruptive, the
other that, "well, no, actually he wasn't..", showed nothing of the
sort, is a bit odd. The fact that he hasn't shown a public tendency to
be disruptive doesn't lend itself to the claim either. The only apparent
reason why he might have been refused was because Mathis, who produced
this garbage, hates PZs guts for the few times PZ called in one some
radio interview by the fool and made him look like the idiot he was.
Basically, the working theory is that Mathis saw PZ, recognized who he
was, ordered him removed, but in his panic didn't notice who was with
him. A fact pretty much confirmed by the later account of him turning
white as a sheet when he called on Dawkins, then the later spin they
have tried to put on it, claiming that they cowed Dawkins into
submission during the Q&A after. The only thing certain is that their
message is, "Our version of evolution is the right one, we think ID is
better, but don't plan to tell you what the hell that actually is, and
oh, BTW, evolution leads to atheism, which led to Hitler." If there is
one damn thing in those premises that isn't either delusional,
historically wrong, or showing a vast ignorance of everything about the
subjects they are trying to talk about, its probably that the movie is
"their view". The rest... couldn't be more wrong if they tried to claim
that evolution is wrong because it doesn't explain The Lord of the Rings
and that Gandalf was really the first Pope and that the Holocaust was
caused by the rediscovery of the One Ring.
