????
what do you mean?
I saw the film last night. Packed theater. Rousing applause at the end.

It looks like they might not have planned for the volume of traffic they are getting.
The trailers are a hoot. This one looks to be a MUST SEE.
We saw the movie last night. It was well done and thought provoking. I viewed it as a warning of the dangers of the liberal thought police in other areas, not just Intelligent Design.
There have been the typical enraged rants against this movie both here on FR and on the internet. Their hostility just proves Ben Stein’s point over and over again. I wouldn’t be at all surprised if someone did manage to hack that site.
Wikipedia has locked the inaccurate bullsh*t article they have on the film. “It opened to negative reviews”, sighting, of course, a few of the drive-by media. The Yahoo viewer reviews are funny. There are dozens of “F” reviews from people who obviously didn’t even see the movie. None the less it still was managing a B-.
That must be it.A thousand theatres showing a nonsecular documentary based on cold logic and rational thought probally caused some major feedback server crashes.
When 80% of 300 Million see their beliefs confirmed for the first time on the otherwise liberal athiest silver screen, the reaction must have been overwhelming.
Now on to the Oscars—as if!
;)
Evolutionists are no doubt in a tizzy over it, both those who dominate the left as well as our own FRevolutionists. Stein talks to person after person (all from academia/science) who was ruined for daring to even mention ID in the most trivial way. Lots of dialog with Dawkins, who in a stunning circular walk ends up making the point that Earth life was seeded by aliens: IOW, Earth life was intelligently designed. That part’s a real hoot. Lots of it would be funny if the underlying suppression of freedom of thought wasn’t so chilling.

Perhaps. Wouldn’t surprise me; the seeming need to shut down any expression that deviates from so-called Scientific Orthodoxy may not have limits on behaviour.
The Dallas Morning News gave it an F. They reserve that rating for politically incorrect movies.
As an academic guy myself, I've come to conclude more and more after studying this that naturalistic evolution can't possible be true. Guess I couldn't say that if I was in science, or I'd be expelled. Some thoughts are not permitted in our society. But, there are so many gaps in the theory of evolution it is silly.
Key point: how did the first DNA and RNA develop and how did the first cell to encapsulate these hundreds of complex chemicals and proteins emerge? THEY HAVE NO IDEA — but still defend the faith that life began as a natural process zealously.
Like Ben says in the Youtube video — people who are confident are not troubled by criticism.
I read Dawkins—he is a briliant author on all things biological.
Unfortunately in his publications he cannot resist inserting anti-Christian bigotry even though the petulant passages are totally irrelevant and unprofessional.
The guy really knows his stuff as far as existing materialistic data can take him or anyone else for that matter.
Otherwise,like Bill Maher and Chris Hitchens,he is a small man with a large mouth when the ultimate responsibility of spiritual reality threatens their little plastic worlds.
Hang on to your hats, the copy and pasters will be out momentarily.
It is rather telling that the ID people spent 10’s of millions of dollars on a movie and promotion of that movie instead of spending it on research.
Perhaps there isn’t a profit to be made in ID research.
‘But, there are so many gaps in the theory of evolution it is silly.’
What are those gaps you speak of?
You know if the ID people bothered to do research in a scientific way they would be welcomed.
This, however, is something they refuse to do.
