Should be a good documentary. I love the data about design, although I’m not pinning the God-did-it label on it. But the evidence about the complete complexity of the cell and how it’s made up of little engines and machines transforms how humans now have to think about the little guys, our cells.

The films endeavor is to respond to one simple question: Were we designed, or are we simply the end result of an ancient mud puddle struck by lightning? Big science doesnt like that question because they cant answer it.
Yet.

In the end, the film isnt really about intelligent design as much as about a relentless attack on an authentically free inquiry.I saw the movie last night. Very well done, and though it pokes some gentle fun at some of the atheistic dogmatics of Darwinists, Stein also has a reflective and caring moment regarding one man who is a vehement atheist but is also suffering from a brain tumor.
Stein has made a good film.
A very interesting couple of related works I've seen, just in case anyone is interested:
Unlocking The Mystery of Life, Illustra Media
The Privileged Planet, Illustra Media

The Anthropic principal does a pretty good job.

See post 5.
If you're really interested, it takes some time to listen and see. If you're not really interested, then be like the so-called Darwin scientists in the movie: put your hands over your ears and talk loudly so you won't hear. :)
Seriously, let me see if there are some good youtube links--

I don't think ID contra Darwin is the point of the movie, but rather the trashing of the principle of free inquiry which lies at the heart of the scientific method. Here, as in the Global Warming debate, those on the Left don't want to conduct an argument, they want to silence their opponents with Stalinist pronouncements and state sponsored consensus.
To: tokenatheist
Your a good example of why evolution does’t exist. Why should you care what other people think?? You are basically saying think like me or else which happens to be the point. Get lost! Never mind, you already are.

First of all, Expelled is no more of a documentary than Fahrenheit 9/11 is a documentary. Both films are filled with information presented as facts that can be easily refuted. Ben Stein is as credible as Michael Moore.

Recovering you are wasting your time with tokenatheist. He appears to be a newbie troll, birth date 3/25/08. Or just dumb.

Big Science doesn’t believe anybody should research outside of the approved Groupthink. It has become a Stalinist religion which is what Stein (who happens to have a genius IQ) is pointing out.

Ok. Well, I just wanted to give the benefit of the doubt. They can look at the link and learn if they want. Or they can keep following the masses. :) I’ve done my part.
Thanks for the heads up, though; I’ll keep a look out.

Hell trumandogz has been here for 4 years and he considers Ben Stein as low as the traitor Michael Moore, which is even a lower form of commentary than Token-A-theist. (never thought I’d say that).

More likely a Darwin Central retread.
