Expelled, Important and A Highly Enjoyable Movie To Boot
From Sea to Shining Sea ^ | 4/18/08 | Purple Mountains

I just returned home from seeing the premiere of Ben Stein's new movie, "Expelled:No Intelligence Allowed". I was amazed that such an important movie that addresses serious questions would be so enjoyable and have such great entertainment value. The movie exposes Darwinism and the crushing of scientific inquiry going on in this country. Darwinism is the foundation science of modern liberalism, and just as liberalism is a failed philosophy and imposes political correctness to stifle debate, so is some of Darwinian theory wrong, and scientific study and debate about it is simiarly stifled. I urge everyone to see this movie and spread its messsage.

Your anecdote is not entirely uninteresting. I assume it is meant to help your argument.

However, if you could tell me of a fish of such biological proximity to an amphibian that it could mate with the amphibian and produce offspring, I would find it more supportive of your argument (although only to a very limited extent).

Are you asking whether God manages gravitational forces?

Coyoteman has offered such evidence many many times.

Of course he does. God also manages the laws of motion, which will aid you in transporting yourself to a nearby cinema to see Stein’s movie.

So you believe that your deity did such a bad job putting together the universe that he has to micromanage the most basic of its laws?

John T. Scopes himself, writing 40 years later, said that the whole business was set up in a meeting in the general store with several of the local authorities. They wanted a media circus that would draw attention to Dayton, and they thought a test case of the new law would be just the thing. (They were right.) He just agreed to stipulate that he “taught evolution” for the two weeks that he had substituted for the bio teacher, even though he had no memory of actually doing it.

Evolutionary algorithms have been used in the design of various advanced military aircraft, satellites, antenna, communication networks,

Yes, but the success of evolutionary algorithms show that natural selection (in the sense that darwinians talk about it) is either impotent or incoherent.

If you think 30 years of experimentation with fruit flies yielded no data and was a “total failure” you are too ignorant of Science to discuss it intelligently.

I'm afraid that review is rather useless, since it reviews a movie that doesn't exist.

The film I saw did not purport to argue for the vality of ID, if God was mentioned at all, I missed it.

The movie I saw was about the shameless silencing of competent individuals simply for mentioning two words.

You fail to address that central issue entirely.

You are following in the footsteps of Christopher Hitchens, and your position is very weak.

Your argument is reducible to the statement, “I don’t like the way God made the universe.”

How does this advance the atheist view? (Answer: it doesn’t.)
