Yet another demonstration of creationist’s inability to get what they want without resorting to ethically questionable behavior …..

Shortly before he was to attend a screening in January of the documentary “Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed,” … Roger Moore, a film critic for The Orlando Sentinel, learned that his invitation had been revoked by the film’s marketers.”Well, you already invited me,” he recalled thinking at the time. “I’m going to go.”So Mr. Moore traveled to a local megachurch and planted himself among a large group of pastors to watch the movie….There were nondisclosure agreements to sign that day, but Mr. Moore did not, and proceeded to write perhaps the harshest review “Expelled” has received thus far. … Mr. Moore deplored what he perceived as “loaded images, loaded rhetoric, few if any facts” and accused Mr. Stein of using a “Holocaust denier’s” tactics.Which, of course, was exactly the reaction the moviemakers were hoping to avoid by keeping mainstream critics out….The film, which takes a position on intelligent design shared by President Bush, has also been shown at California Baptist University and the Dallas Theological Seminary. Glowing reviews have popped up on AnswersInGenesis.org, whose co-chief executive, Ken Ham, founded the Creation Museum, and in The American Spectator, whose senior editor, Tom Bethell, said that the movie evoked “tears of joy.”….Logan Craft, executive producer of “Expelled” and chief of Premise Media, said he thought Mr. Moore had been wrong to attend the screening after being disinvited, but both he and Mr. Lauer denied any involvement in an online “media alert” that purported to be from a backer of the film. The alert accused Mr. Moore of posing as a minister to gain admission, calling his actions a “security breach.” Mr. Moore said he never represented himself as other than a reporter….
