I know that Stein tried to popularize his point, but I expect that most of the movie went over the heads of most of the audience.
My impression is exactly the opposite: Stein made an intellectual argument illustrated by examples and by the unedited arguments of darwinists. And it went over the heads of the "intellectual" darwinists.They grew up being the smartest people in the rooms they were in - but they have eyes to see, but cannot see. And you can bet that there will be someone come along on this thread to heap contempt on me for saying so. But maybe I'll be small potatoes on this thread, since the starting article itself makes the same argument, better.
Okay, so you’re saying that the average American undestood and loved the movie, but it was too intellectual for the scientists.
Small potatoes ... heap contempt ... ?
Hmm. Well, okay, but I put gravy on mine.
I had to scroll a while to find a relevant and appropriate point. Well said.
Why this issue of Intelligent Design, and making a logical and often made deduction from Darwin through eugenics to Hitler, causes such a temper tantrum from the Darwinists, is quite beyond me. The point of the movie was to say that the academy not only disagrees with ID, but seeks to destroy anyone involved with ID.
And that we see in all the Expelled threads on FR.
