Speaking of programs about Darwin, etc.  I want to highly
recommend the new fulldome show "Natural Selection" coming
out of  the Netherlands.  I got to see a preliminary version
of it and this is beautiful.  I'm in a Natural History Museum, so my 
superiors won't have any
problem with me running this non-astronomical program in the Planetarium.  
But the piece is so visually and aurally inspiring, my reaction was,
even those who might go in with negative feelings about evolution
if they were to watch this - they'll still walk out enjoying it in spite 
of themselves.

Of course those hard-liners will never make it in the doors.  They'll 
only make a fuss
without seeing it or trying to be rational.
