Anticipating success with their feature film Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed, Producers Mark Mathis, Logan Craft and Walt Ruloff have already leaked a teaser trailer for the film's sequel. Their "teach the controversy" slogan seemed to work well in getting the general public to believe that Intelligent Design is a viable alternative scientific theory to Evolution, so the team has moved on to promoting other theories that they feel are being suppressed by the scientific community. Sexpelled: No Intercourse Allowed tells of how Sex Theory has thrived unchallenged in the ivory towers of academia, as the explanation for how new babies are created. Proponents of Stork Theory claim that "Big Sex" has been suppressing their claim that babies are delivered by storks. Furthermore, Stork Theory proponents warn of the serious moral dangers posed by teaching children that sex has a function. They point out that evil dictators such as Hitler, Stalin and Mao all believed in Sex Theory, and they may have even had sex themselves.
There is also a late-breaking new development in the controversy, a new theory called Avian Transportation Theory.
Unlike the original Stork Theory, the modern, sophisticated "Avian Transportation Theory" (ATT) merely points out that there are gaps in the orthodox Sex Theory, and that current sonogram imaging is unreliable. Moreover ATT does not specify that babies are necessarily brought by storks but by "large birds unspecified" (although many individual ATT theorists PRIVATELY believe it is a stork).

Unfortunately, this audience is also a CAPTIVE audience; they are very unlikely to be reached by a rational, scientific rebuttal, as that would require them to have a basic understanding of science, which they don't have.
I don't have any quick solutions for this ignorance, but I believe that a beginners course in Formal Logic should be required in High School, since science ultimately relies on logic.
There are all kinds of things that the Church used to demand adherence to. One could research all of the crazy things they used to teach as "truth", and demand that they all be brought back into the classroom, and taught alongside physics, biology, astronomy, chemistry, anatomy, paleontology, hygiene, logic, calculus, .................heck, why don't we just make all women wear burkhas, all men grow beards, and close the hospitals, while we're at it. Pretty soon the population explosion, and global warming, would be solved, because there wouldn't be enough people left to hurt the planet!
That isn't easy.
I *can't wait* to see the movie!
