Futuristic Movie Timeline#6 In A Series Of Pop-Cultural Charts
No one really pays much attention to what year sci-fi movies take place. I thought it would be interesting to arrange some classic films about the future into chronological order and see what we’d find. I’ve also charted the years in which they were released as well as the current year. This is by far the geekiest thing I’ve ever done.
* I only included movies in which Wikipedia knew the exact year.

Veteran’s Day

My father was an Army Specialist during Vietnam. His father was a Corpsman in the Pacific during WWII where his ship was sunk and he was taken prisoner. He survived a little stroll known as the Bataan Death March. Regardless of my own personal dislike of the way our military is used by the corrupt political machine running the USA I fully support the individual soldiers and recognise the tremendous sacrifice they’ve made. I hope that a day such as Veteran’s Day would be used to honor their service and to promote the cause of better health care and treatment of those soldiers returning from service, both physical and mental. Our government sent these people to the brutality of war, it is only right that they do everything they can to support them once they return.

Dinosaur World: Hidden Agendas

Despite hearing objections to the contrary, it appears that Dinosaur World in Plant City, FL (among other places) still promotes creationist garbage. This is from their Teachers Guide

Creation Science
Dinosaur World hosts field trips for groups of homeschoolers and students from church schools that teach a literal interpretation of the biblical account of creation. The informative plaques in the park present general facts about the dinosaurs. There are very few “millions of years ago” references.

Considering that the tagline on the sciencepartners.net page is “Your missing link for Creation Education!” I can only imagine what kind of unscientific garbage they’re peddling there.

Science. They keep using that word. I don’t think it means what they think it means.
