Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed
Ben Stein stars in a new movie coming out questioning Neo-Darwinism. You can view the official website, and below is the official trailer and an interview Ben did with R.C. Sproul. The movie comes out on the 18th of this month, and the website also has a theater locator.
Hey friend!
Please watch what fellow Christian and evolutionary biologist Ken Miller has to say about Intelligent Design.

I think you’ll agree that this movie will make a mockery of intelligent Christians… =(
While he’s well-spoken I don’t see how he proves that ID makes a mockery of intelligent Christians.
I understand what Dr. Miller is saying. However, most pro-ID scientists are completely shunned by the academic community entirely. They are outcast from universities, not given publication, etc, based solely on prejudice against ID. How can the scientific process be followed if new ideas are not even allowed to be voiced?
Agreed Jim.
Hey Jim,
That’s the WHOLE crux of the issue. All we’re asking is that the scientific process, also known as The Scientific Method, be followed. Unfortunately, the proponents of ID are not offering up any testable, repeatable, observable evidence for their hypothesis. If there were tangible evidence for ID, scientists would jump all over it and work VERY hard to understand it (debunk or verify). Trust me, scientists are extremely motivated by new data/evidence. The fact that ID has been around for at least 2 decades now, but no real evidence has been presented, is very telling about the ID hypothesis. Science THRIVES on data/evidence! We want to truly understand what is going on!!! Cheers!
@Darron: To a degree yes you are correct. I do believe scientists do earnestly seek to understand, but the problem lies not only in their presupposition but the Modernism that so pervades their philosophy.
I have surely seen the suppression of anything anti-Darwinism in the scientific community, and sometimes for no other reason then the question is not seen as logical to even think about. That’s what I hope this new movie will venture to prove.
