The Case Study: A Flock of Dodos

by: Clyde Freeman Herreid

Flock of Dodos is a provocative film about intelligent design (ID) complete with animation and argumentative debates along with interviews with pleasant people from Kansas and Pennsylvania, the latest battlefields of the ID debate. The film does not resolve the issues, but it dramatically and sensitively displays them in a humorous manner. The film reminds those of us who would push the scientific agenda with polemics against laypeople of the world that this approach will hardly lead to their conversion. Less lecturing and more case studies on the ID topic are the only ways to deal reasonably with this issue.
