Richard Dawkins...Takes a Beating...Get's Expelled.

This quote sums up the sad nature of Richard Dawkins after he realized he was forced against his will to speak to one who believes in Intelligent Design...

I feel betrayed and very angry. This has only happened to me once before, in a very long career of doing hundreds of interviews. I find that life is much more pleasant if I assume a reasonable level of trust with everyone I meet. It is extremely easy to take me for a ride. (What? No...Evolution anyone?) I am actually quite proud of being so trusting. It is frustrating and disillusioning to feel that in future I am going to have to be a lot more suspicious and grudging. The quality of life is sensibly diminished by having to do this." Richard Dawkins

Sunday afternoon I got to see the long awaited "Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed". I have to say I was indeed quite impressed with the film. I think it is a film that all Christians should see, but it is not a Christian movie. I was a little upset that they tended to separate people into three camps. Those who believe in Intelligent Design, Those who believe in evolution and the loons that believe in Young Earth Creation.

That's right they sort of made the YEC's the guy's on the low end of the totem pole. Which is a shame, seeing that a vast majority of people that I went to see the movie with and the ones that were in the theater were indeed YEC.

But that's really besides the point because the film itself did a fantastic job of explaining the outright hypocrisy of the science community. The ones who say "We don't shun those who support intelligent design, but we sure will attack Ben Stein for being an idiot, because he supports such "bad Science"

The build up to the movie proves the very point of the movie. All the negative publicity, the movie critics turned scientist on Rotten Tomatoes. The New York Times calling it "Sleazy."

OK OK, you crazy lunatic scientist made your point, the movie did not have to be made, you openly admit to not allowing other ideas and viewpoints. Can we stop with all the name calling already.

The movie is worth seeing because of one scene where Richard Dawkins is given a beat down by Ben Stein. In fact I am positive that Dawkins still feels those sores. In probably the most enjoyable scene in any movie I have seen this year. Richard "Easy to be taken for a ride" Dawkins almost in tears was unable to answer a simple question posed by Ben Stein. Where does life come from? "I don't know, I don't think anyone does" he even resorted to saying an intelligent designer could have in fact been an initiator of life. No wonder he refuses to do interviews with both sides of the aisle. If an "idiot" like Ben Stein can make him resort to Intelligent Design, imagine what would happen if the scientist did willingly surrender to an actual debate. Evolution would be over. That's why they hold on so tightly. Their entire worldview is built on a house of cards, or layers of sand.

So overall a good movie, it could have had more scientific details that that proved intelligent design, IE the intricacies of the cell's design, flood geology.

So go see the movie, it was ranked one of the third highest grossing documentaries only to Tupac and Fahrenheit 9/11. Let's try and get it out there, I for one will go and see it again.

If Ben Stein is not a scientist then...

Ben Stein is Expelled...Literally.

With all the hype surrounding Ben Stein's movie, "Expelled" there is also a lot of anger and hostility towards the man for making a documentary. So much so it proves the very premise of his very own movie.

Over the past few weeks, evolutionist have attacked, mocked, ridiculed, and buried anything that has anything to do with Ben Stein's documentary so much so it is impossible to find any information in support of the movie on Digg.

Were not talking about nice professsional rebuttals of the movie. Were talking about flat out angry hostilities, swearing and name calling. Very scientific approaches.

This leads me to conclude without even seeing the movie that Ben Stein was correct.

The truth is that right now Ben Stein could not possibly get a job in any scientific environment because he sides on Intelligent Design and because of this, his movie could have been blank, with three words that said "Evolution is Fake" for an hour and half and the same sort of sentiment would have arisen.

So my question for all the evolutionist is why the hostility? Why is there such an anger to defend evolution? Why must it be done with such hostile attitudes as opposed to professional academic behavior and discussion?

The creationist are Fox News and the evolutionist are the loons at the Daily Kos.

Can't we all be sensible?

To Ben Stein, congratulations on this amazing social experiment. You sir, are awesome.

You proved your point, before the movie even came out.

Ben Stein..Is suddenly not so smart....





Does anyone know the name of Ben Stein's movie that is do out next week? Anyone? Anyone?

It's called Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed, and from what I have seen of it via YouTube clips and YouTube hecklers, I am pretty excited. Although Ben Stein is (I believe) an Orthodox Jew and does not believe that Jesus is the Messiah, we do believe that God created everything.

April 18th Ben Stein's movie comes out to theaters nationwide. I have heard nothing but good (from the creationist) and bad (from evolutionist) which means this movie must be amazing!

The thing is Ben Stein was the man when he was on "Win Ben Steins Money", when he was on Ferris Bueller's Day off, when he was a speech writer for Nixon. But now all of a sudden people are calling him all sorts of names, questioning his intelligence and mocking him.

It's as if the second someone endorses Creation your reputation goes out the window.

That's because Evolutionist cannot look at the evidence. They have to attack the person making the claim, not the claim. I have scoured the internets and all I can find are the following arguments about the movie.

"It's Propoganda"
"Ben Stein is a Moron"
"They talk to much about Hitler, Stalin, Marx"

I have not heard a single shred of information regarding the actual evidence presented in the film. I think the same was true for Ann Coulter's book "Godless the Church of Liberalism", most of her book was on Evolutionary fallacies and yet everyone complained about the non-important, satirical, smug comments that were in the book. None on the Evidence that she presented.

So what's wrong evolutionist? Has it become so impossible to defend evolution that you have to resort to Ad Hominem Parades.

For everyone who has not seen the trailer...and or clips below are some from the movie. I am looking forward to seeing this as soon as I can, and I hope you do to.
