Rather than put a spin on the headline, I will let the facts speak for themselves:

"While 'The Privileged Planet' is an extremely sophisticated religious film, it is a religious film nevertheless. It uses scientific information – the apparently 'perfect' position of Earth in its orbit and in its galaxy, the uniqueness of its atmosphere – to answer, affirmatively, the philosophical question of whether life on Earth was part of a grand design, and not just the result of chance and chemistry. Neither God nor evolution is mentioned. Nevertheless, the film is consistent with the Discovery Institute's general aim, which is to drive a wedge into the scientific consensus about the origins of life and the universe and to give a patina of scientific credibility to the idea of an intelligent creator. ... The museum was naive or negligent not to recognize this, and more naive not to anticipate the backlash."
