six things in expelled that ben stein doesn't want you to know...
...about intelligent design and evolution
.
from scientific american, 6 points in brief:
"
1) expelled quotes charles darwin selectively to connect his ideas to eugenics and the holocaust.
2) ben stein's speech to a crowded auditorium in the film was a setup.
3) scientists in the film thought they were being interviewed for a different movie.
4) the id-sympathetic researcher whom the film paints as having lost his job at the smithsonian institution was never an employee there.
5) science does not reject religious or "design-based" explanations because of dogmatic atheism.
6) many evolutionary biologists are religious and many religious people accept evolution.
"

EDIT: oh yeah, i forgot: expelled.













1 pearl of wisdom:
Equating evolution with atheism has always annoyed me. Sure, many of us subscribe to both, but evolution is a scientific fact. Atheism is a philosophical stance...or something to that effect. lol
