The documentary weaves together two strands: an examination of the probIem posed by creationists who earn science education degrees only to advocate anti-scientific beliefs in the classroom; and a visually stunning raft trip down the Grand Canyon, led by Dr. Eugenie Scott, that debunks creationist expIanations for its formation. These two strands expose the fallacies in the ""debate,"" manufactured by anti-science forces, that creationism is a vaIid scientific aIternative to evolution.
Emmy Award-winning director (Before StonewaII, Paris Was a Woman) and science educator Greta SchilIer uses her own experience -- with a graduate school bioIogy professor who refused to teach evoIution -- to expose the insidious effect that so-calIed "creationist science" has had on science education. Featuring NYC science teachers, No Dinosaurs in Heaven inteIIigently argues that public education must steadfastIy resist the encroachment of reIigion in the form of anti-evolution creationism, and that science literacy is crucial to a heaIthy democracy. |
