Imax 'shuns films on evolution'

Several Imax cinemas in the US have refused to show films referring to the theory of evolution for fear of a religious backlash, it is reported. Viewers at a US test screening judged films which contradicted religious descriptions of man's origins as "blasphemous", the New York Times said. As a result science films were denied screenings in approximately 12 large-screen Imax cinemas.
