Sometimes I think I've devoted my life to rewriting Conan Doyle in different ways. Both the book and the movie draw from the work and personality of Jack Horner, the Montana paleontologist who discovered that some dinosaurs apparently looked after their young in colonies, rather than merely laying eggs and abandoning them. Besides serving as a model for one of the characters in the book, he later worked as an adviser to the movie makers on dinosaur musculature and movement, and on the appearance of real field laboratories. In return, Horner and his Montana colleagues have been promised research support from Spielberg's Amblin organization. Science as a peril Spielberg also regards some aspects of science, including biotechnology, as dangerous.
Science is intrusive.
I wouldn't ban molecular biology altogether, because it's useful in finding cures for AIDS, cancer and other diseases. I'm not too happy about that. Unfortunately, though, the Frankenstein view of science has become very strong in our society.
