Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed - DVD (Release Date: October 21, 2008)
Christian Cinema ^

Posted on 08/10/2008 3:54:03 PM PDT by Recovering_Democrat

Big Science has expelled smart new ideas from the classroom. What they forgot is that every generation has its rebel!

Attacked by pro-evolution scientists and others, this film, Expelled exposed the prejudice leveled against scientists who reject Darwinian thinking, and took almost $8 million at the box office at around 700 theaters earlier this year, making it the 12th most successful documentary of all time.

I love Ben Stein. Thanks for the update. going to go resreve it on Netflix right now. :)

“Nathan Frankowski’s film explores how scientists who believe in God are oppressed and how the acceptance of evolution may have played a role in the formation of organizations such as the Nazi regime and Planned Parenthood.”

It’s pretty simple, really; when there is no god, you get to be God! Jerks.

What exactly is the Intelligent Design theory anyway?

Apparently the latest fad in Big Science is to claim fossils aren’t necessary to “prove” evolution; all the evidence needed is now available by studying genes. :)

Convenient, ain’t it?

I haven’t bought many new releases lately because most of them are just garbage. Instead I’ve been working on my John Wayne collection. However, I will be picking this one up.

Fabulous movie which provides the common man with a glimpse as to what the world is really dealing with in the case of evolutionites.

Yep. But it is no different than studying fossilized skeletons and claiming that similarity proves evolution. Now they just look at genes of LIVING animals and say that the similarity proves evolution.

Why don't you simplify it for me into something that is intelligible?

2 Peter 2:5 But they deliberately forget that long ago by God’s word the heavens existed and the earth was formed out of water and by water.

Perhaps I can help.
Intelligent design looks for signs of intelligent design of living beings. Signs that life is actually created.
For example: DNA is an complex information system. The complexity of design is an indicator of intent.

How you cannot find any factual help here on FR: Evolutionists will smear any concept of intentional design with the Discovery Institute and Creationism. No independent thought will be allowed to impugn their religion.

Probably in the way that a snowflake does the same thing.

Humans have long ascribed to gods the things which they do not understand.

Complexity does not indicate anything other than complexity.

The rarity of a complete solar eclipse is not proof of a god, although it long was thought to be so.

Intelligent Design rests on the premise that "this stuff is too complicated, so it must have been designed."

It's not even a logical argument.

So Intelligent Design really means looking for evidence that there is a God?

For example: DNA is an complex information system. The complexity of design is an indicator of intent.

So a complex system like snow flakes is an indicator of design?

How you cannot find any factual help here on FR: Evolutionists will smear any concept of intentional design with the Discovery Institute and Creationism. No independent thought will be allowed to impugn their religion.

So Recovering_Democrat is an Evolutionist?

What exactly is the Intelligent Design theory anyway?

From Little Green Footballs:

Last November, radio host Michael Medved was made a Senior Fellow at the anti-evolution "think tank" known as the Discovery Institute, and he has some rather interesting things to say about "intelligent design":

Q: Speaking of your desire for this kind of particularity, you are a senior fellow at the Discovery Institute that studies and believes in Intelligent Design. How do you, as an Orthodox Jew, reconcile with this kind of generality - with the view of their being a hierarchy with a chief "designer" - while believing in and praying to a very specific God?

The important thing about Intelligent Design is that it is not a theory - which is something I think they need to make more clear. Nor is Intelligent Design an explanation. Intelligent Design is a challenge. It's a challenge to evolution. It does not replace evolution with something else.

Q: The question is not whether it replaces evolution, but whether it replaces God.

No, you see, Intelligent Design doesn't tell you what is true; it tells you what is not true. It tells you that it cannot be that this whole process was random.
