A New Screen Test for Imax: It's the Bible vs. the Volcano

By CORNELIA DEAN

.....

Several Imax theaters, including some in science museums,
are refusing to show movies that mention the subject - or
the Big Bang or the geology of the earth - fearing
protests from people who object to films that contradict
biblical descriptions of the origin of Earth and its
creatures.......

......Pietro Serapiglia, who handles distribution for
the producer Stephen Low of Montreal, whose company made
the film, said officials at other theaters told him they
could not book the movie "for religious reasons," because
it had "evolutionary overtones" or "would not go well
with the Christian community" or because "the evolution
stuff is a problem."

Hyman Field, who as a science foundation official had a
role in the financing of "Volcanoes," said he understood
that theaters must be responsive to their audiences. But
Dr. Field he said he was "furious" that a science museum
would decide not to show a scientifically accurate
documentary like "Volcanoes" because it mentioned
evolution.....
