newschickCHARLESTON, South Carolina -- Some movie theatres are pulling the plug on a film about volcanoes, fearing it might offend people who don't believe in evolution.
The IMAX production called ``Volcanoes of the Deep Sea'' makes a connection between microbes found in undersea volcanoes and human D-N-A.
The distributor says the theatres that have decided not to run it are in Texas, Georgia and the Carolinas.
The director of a theatre in Charleston reasons that, ``Many people here believe in creationism, not evolution.''
An official of the California Science Center fears the box-office ban could have a chilling effect on other science productions.
He's afraid directors will drop all reference to evolution.
