Ben Stein's movie, EXPELLED - No Intelligence Allowed, is a must see, regardless of your worldview or political stance. It’s classic water cooler fodder, guaranteed to raise hackles, concerns, and eyebrows of both Christian fundamentalists, hard core atheists, and everyone in between.
But it’s just science, right?Wrong.Were this to be a purely scientific question, based on facts, indisputable data, and measurable results, there wouldn’t be the public outcry or the ugliness being played out in the media and cyberspace.I give this movie 5 big huge honkin stars. I loved it. Ben Stein has made a great film, with an important premise: “What if?”As in: What if we didn’t evolve from a crystal? What if Someone had a purpose for our existence? What if denying the possibility of Intelligent Design has resulted in a worldwide de-evolution of our morals, mores, values, and ethics? What if Charles Darwin missed the mark?What if?
I’m not afraid to question my beliefs from time to time. God can handle my questions. What I don’t understand is why evolutionists are so intimidated by the questioning process.Maybe because the question isn’t just scientific. Perhaps it’s a Spiritual question after all.**My very good friend, John B. Olson's novel, Fossil Hunter, is being released in tandem with the movie, EXPELLED. From the back cover:
In the desolate Iraqi desert, a lone shepherd stumbles across a whale fossil. Initial analysis indicates that it could be a new speciesa discovery that could shed light on the evolution debate.
Paleontologist Dr. Katie James is asked to lead an expedition to recover the rest of the fossil before her archrival, Nick Murad, can find it first.
But while shes there, Katie also uncovers the unexpecteda human fossil so controversial shes forced to collaborate with Nick to analyze the find before it can be destroyed by a fundamentalist faction of the Iraqi government. Their initial results fly in the face of current scientific theory, and it seems the whole world turns against them, including those they thought they could trust most.
Then the fossil disappears, sending Nick and Katie on a chase that could cost them their reputations, their careerseven their lives.
Fossil Hunter is part of the Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed campaign. Look for the feature-length documentaryhosted by Ben Stein and produced by Premise Media Corporationavailable now on DVD. Visit www.expelledthemovie.com for more information.
A Thing that has not yet been disproved … can hold it’s reasonable
assumption that it exist; And as long as a Thing remain unproven, it can
maintain it’s greatest possibility of being so. Indeed in this world,
Intelligent Design has faltered, but because the beautiful and shinning
crystal glass was shattered when it fell to the floor, doesn’t mean it’s
Superior Design didn’t exist before it’s fragments were disarranged.
