Mexican Flag Gets Students Expelled? Oh, Wait?
2008-06-05 00:00:00 -By Warner Todd Huston Our schools are faster becoming the laughing stock of the industrialized world every day. This time three boys were barred from graduation, expelled and harassed by the foolhardy overreaction of school administrators over some flags they had on their trucks in the parking lot. No, it wasn’t the Mexican flag, it wasn’t ...

Expelled? Anyone? Anyone?
2008-05-12 05:26:00 Last week, I saw Expelled, the new movie from Ben Stein. It has stirred up a mostly negative response from all sides. Here are a couple of quotes from recent reviews: Kenneth R. Miller, a biology professor at Brown University, was particularly harsh in his Op-Ed piece in the Boston Globe: “Expelled is a shoddy piece of propaganda ...

Nightly Ramble:Taxes, Expelled to a future date, Penn, more
2008-05-09 21:58:00 Yes, Art… I have seen the book as well. I have to tell you and honesty I found a depressing read. The reasons are rather simple; your first problem is that it does in fact make sense. I’m that basis alone it would never fly. Getting the idea? Of course, the second one is of a kind with the first, and it’s the one you list as your personal favorite, the current taxes will longer be used to manipulate and punish the American people for doing various things or not doing various things. Frankly, I don’t care what party they’re in. I suspect that in the end they will not want to give up that power. At least, that would include the crop of Republicans we currently have. By the way, I told Neal this several months ago after the book first came out. by all means go ahead and write them, but don’t expect them to be very conversant. He does get out of the hospital a couple days ago… a knee operation, I believe. I have to tell you that the plan would...

Ken Miller?s Thoughts on Expelled
2008-05-09 00:33:00 Ken Miller, one of the many evolutionists out there who also accepts the fact that God is the Creator who created everything (good and bad) has just published his reaction to the Intelligent Design Propaganda film Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed on this page where he gives the lowdown on how bad the movie is and how disturbing Ben Stein’s false remarks about “science leads to murder” and “evolution causes the holocaust” really is. This kind of attitude Stein’s displaying is entirely no different than the attitudes, rants, and speeches of dictators, religious radicals, cult leaders, and other types of hate mongers.

Expelled, Evo-Devo and Nazism
2008-05-02 08:05:00 Alan Boyle has posted a review/commentary of the Intelligent Design movie Expelled on his 'Cosmic Log'. Alan's always posting great stuff over there, and this is another example of that - but I thought I'd give it a mention here as it served (passively) as a bit of a fulcrum to my reading this week. Firstly, Alan talked to evolutionary biologist Sean B. Carroll about the movie, and coincidentally I had just finished reading Steve Talbott's Antimatters article "Can the New Science of Evo?Devo Explain the Form of Organisms?". The article references Carroll as an authority on new developments in evolutionary theory, in discussing the 'design' aspects of living creatures and whether orthodox science really does explain how 'form' imposes itself upon physical creations. When evolutionary biologists hear someone express wonder over the mammalian eye or peacock?s feathers, and when this wonder shades into incredulity about the usual sort of explanation for such things, all too ...

EXPELLED
2008-04-26 15:01:00 The anti-evolution movie Expelled has garnered a lot of attention in the aftermath of its release to the nation’s cinemas. I haven’t seen it. The mainstream reviews all point out that it’s a deceptive piece of propaganda. I have no doubt that it is after reading about the various canards it rolls out gleefully. Of more ...
Expelled: A Movie Review
2008-04-26 04:13:00 After seeing the ads for Ben Stein's movie Expelled, I was intrigued and had to check this movie out. Rather than wait until the video came out on DVD, I went to the movie theater for the first time in years. I grabbed a bucket of popcorn and a box of Junior Mints and plopped down in my seat just as the previews ended.The basic theme of the movie is to show a divide that exists in modern science: the split created by the idea of Intelligent Design. Ben Stein meets with scientists from different colleges and different academic backgrounds who have been ostracized, lost tenure, and even lost their job for referencing Intelligent Design as a plausible alternative to the creation of life.I really expected more out of the movie, not in the way of apologetic debate, but in presenting arguments as to why these scientists felt that Darwin's Theory of Evolution was not the "perfect answer" that all the other scientists had accepted. In my experience, knowledge is the greatest tool when dis...
Have you been expelled from pro-Expelled media (e.g., blogs)?
2008-04-26 00:00:00 I was recently prevented from expressing dissent on a pro-Expelled blog.

PZ Myers of Pharyngula has been banned from commenting on a number of pro-ID blogs ...

Darwinism did not lead to Nazism in Germany. Nor does Darwinism inherently contain the seeds of Nazism. There were many nations, such as Brazil, where Darwinism led to ...
Weekend: Expelled, Downtown & Baptisms
2008-04-21 15:32:00 What a great weekend!It seriously FLEW by. ExpelledI started off the weekend by taking a couple of students to see the new movie Expelled. What a great movie! I highly recommend every one go to the theatre and see it (not only to watch it but to support it). Ben Stein has noticed an increasing pattern amongst the scientific community concerning those that even mentioned Intelligent Design were "expelled" thus he made a movie about it to show what was going on.He even has a brief interview with Richard Dawkins, the author of "The God Delusion". In that interview, Dawkins is asked where he thinks life came from, his answer seemed to imply that he thought life was possibly seeded on earth by another being, but definitely not a god. Interesting.Ben Stein took the whole process a step further and showed how one nation and one man (Adolf Hitler) who took Darwinism and Evolution a bit too far... and proposed the question "could it happen again?"If there's one thing Christians can learn fr...

2008-04-21 13:50:00 After just leaving the theatres to review Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed I carried with me a sense of relief.

Despite what critics are saying, however, some of the biggest names in the film were Darwinists...

2008-04-19 14:36:00 Interesting observations by Ed Morrissey on Hot Air …the film does an excellent job of demonstrating atheism as a belief system.

Darwin is responsible for the Holocaust. The ...
Sci-Am Expelled
2008-04-17 05:24:00 Following in the footsteps of the Dawkins-Myer 'gatecrash' of the anti-evolution movie Expelled, Scientific American has now posted a multi-part feature debunking the controversial film. Except this time, it was anything but a gatecrash, with the movie's producer actually approaching Sci-Am: You wouldn't expect Scientific American to take a particularly positive view of a movie that espouses intelligent design over evolutionary biology. Then again, you wouldn’t expect the producers of said film — in this case, Ben Stein’s Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed — to offer the editors of said magazine a private screening. Associate producer Mark Mathis showed up at our offices with a preview of Expelled in hand. That's right, the unexpected screening happened. The unexpected positive reviews did not. Reviewers included the ubiquitous Michael Shermer (so much so, he's even in this film), Sci-Am editor in chief John Rennie (who attacks the movie's attempts to link the theory...

Exposing The Tactics: Ben Stein & The Producers of Expelled!
2008-03-29 21:32:00 For some reason, this site seems to be read by a lot Christians. Perhaps it is because I used to be a minister; or possibly it is my many references to the Bible. Who knows why? My last post, which was simply my notes from the Expelled press conference (Here), generated quite a bit of email from believers. Many of which believe there are two equally scientific sides in the Evolution/Creation debate. I would like to bring attention to all (believers and nonbelievers alike), four deceptive tactics being used to promote the movie, Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed. Inoculated from these, you will be equipped to examine the evidence and make an informed decision. 1. Note the “talking head” double standard. The hypocrisy of the righteous right’s pundits (Limbaugh, Hannity, Beck and O’Reilly) is blatant. They have all spoke about the glories of this movie. However, they dismissed and discredited Fahrenheit 9/11 and SICKo in their entirety because of Michael Moore’s inequi...
My Notes From Expelled Movie Press Conference! PZ Myers Crashed It!
2008-03-28 23:43:00 Below are my notes taken from the “invitation only” press teleconference for the movie: Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed. For the sake of time, I am not taking the time to edit the notes. So forgive me if something does not make sense or I use bad grammar. I may even attribute a quote to the wrong person. Also, to avoid confusion, I will try to put my comments in parenthesis. I have a lot more I would like to say, but I will save it for another post. The purpose of this post is simply to get the facts out. Begin Teleconference: Introduction was given by Paul Lower. He was also the marketer for: The Chronicle of Narnia and Mel Gibson’s, Passion of The Christ. Comment is made that according to Blog Pulse, the movie is the number one topic in the blogosphere. The producers state that the purpose of this movie is to reveal what has become a modern day witch hunt. That many scientists are being fired because they simply question Darwin’s theories. They also speak of the so...
