Planet of the Apes

So was surfing this morning and caught the middle part of the first “Planet of the Apes” movie. I am sure that others have picked up on this (not that it’s particularly subtle), but I love the idea that Chuck Heston is on the side of science, with the apes subjugating science to religion (with Dr. Zaeus both Minister of Science and “keeper of the scrolls”). It makes for pretty funny viewing in light of the christianist position against evolution and the general anti-science stance of a chunk of not just our population, but our “leadership”.

Ha ha!
