Whatever. Ben Stein still gets props from me for simply speaking out against the eduocracy.

We're seeing Expelled tomorrow!

We can hardly wait. We pay no attention to the atheists in Scientific America who are partly behind the suppression of opinions that vary from theirs. No surprise they are up in arms about Ben. The liberal elite, Scientific America is no longer about genuine science. Scientific American is all about a leftist, godless agenda. It has fallen from a fine magazine to a liberal rag.

People who assert evolution have a fundamental problem: origins. Their theory depends upon life appearing spontaneously from non-living matter. Nothing they can say about subsequent life forms on this planet change that fact. Yet, they artfully dodge this essential issue by saying they don't deal in origins, even as their faith in the secular depends on the very origin they refuse to consider.

Ben is one of the good guys!

He’s not pushing Creation. He’s highligting the arrogant BIAS of those that don’t agree with other views. I know of MANY going to see this movie. It pisses the godless liberals off to be EXPOSED like this.

The speech shown at the beginning and end was staged solely for the sake of the movie.

Really?? But, the parade in "Ferris Bueller" -- the one where Matthew Broderick sings "Danke Schon" -- that wasn't staged, right? I mean, you're not telling me that film producers actually set some of this stuff up, are you?

As we’re seeing in the dhimmirat primaries, when leftists are exposed, they are defeated.

THIS is why they hate the light of a documentary like this being shined on them.

Bump for detailed reading later. Some good points there, especially the last. Many religious people accept evolution in some form. I personally believe in Theistic Evolution.

Hey, don’t you know that the fossil records shows the clear, very slight gradual changes from single cells (which self generated) to humans, fully explains the Cambrian species “explosion”, and that no fossils have ever had to be falsified in order to support the fact of evolution?

Man, that’s some funny sht right there.

ROTFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OMG you mean the Right can’t have it’s own Micheal Moore (someone who actually isn’t LYING all the way through the movie) but the Socialist CAN?

Give me a BREAK!

Thousands of other biologists across the U.S. who all know evolution to be true are also still religious.

No bias in THAT statement, is there?

What ever you think Ben Stein believes, what he DOES is contribute to radical left wing Senate candidates.

False. And I think I have pointed this out to you in the past.

Here are five hypothesis regarding the origin of the first life forms.

The theory of evolution works just fine with any of these.
