I have officially lost any shred of respect i had for Ben Stein and this expelled movie. stick to the eye drop commercials and game shows. im not sure where to start with this movie. (throws dart at the “wall of fail” that is this movie) ok, ben stein and his cronies in this film attempt to connect Darwin’s theory of evolution to the holocaust, as if without that theory the holocaust never would have happened. I’m told ben stein was able to fully flex his acting mussels to appear sad as the director juxtaposes quotes from evolutionary biologists with footage from Hitler’s Reich. clearly these people represent the intelligent side of the argument. Ill move form movie content as i have only seen bits of the film. but as to the directors and the motivation behind the movie, i think acceptance was the last thing on their minds. the production and marketing of this movie is the apex of hypocrisy, I’m of course referring to the expulsion of PZ Myers from the screening (note was featured in this “film” and thanked in the credits). the most hilarious part, which highlights their tag line “No Intelligence Allowed” is that they kicked out Myers but let DAWKINS in!!!
Its also important to note that you’ll seldom find a group of evolutionary biologists that agree entirely. Dawins and Stephen J Gould differed from each other and the rest of the community in many ways, so this creationist propaganda that questioning current scientific understanding is forbidden is not only absurd but the antithesis of the scientific process. the only place you can get expelled form for questioning is the church. or a premiere of “expelled”. Also its Extremely hard not to notice that all of the clips from the biologists are ended early. almost all of them were cut off before they could finish a sentence.. thats integrity there. As for scientists being ridiculed for their theories. well their theories have NO facts behind them, NO evidence, and NO intelligent thinking. their arguments rely on the lack of an answer, and are not produced because of an answer. they didn’t receive any new data and change their hypothesis, rather they rejected all data and formed a hypothesis based on what feels good. ridicule is the proper response when confronted with the ridiculous.
After interviewing everyone in evolutionary biology they could find, under false presences I’m told, they stole footage that shows cell division and dubbed it with creationist rhetoric. (lawsuit Letter) If this ever does make it to the mainstream i will write a better account of how wrong they are.
If you want to have a good laugh heres the trailer, all the things i discussed above are painfully evident in these clips.
