Big science has expelled smart new ideas from the classroom ... What they forgot is that every generation has its Rebel! That rebel, Ben Stein (Ferris Bueller’s Day Off) travels the world on his quest, and learns an awe-inspiring truth … that educators and scientists are being ridiculed, denied tenure and even fired – for the crime of merely believing that there might be evidence of design in nature, and that perhaps life is not just the result of accidental, random chance. To which Ben Says: Enough! And then gets busy. NOBODY messes with Ben.

Love Ben Stein! He is so reason-able!
Ben Stein tells you how it is- or, in this case, how it isn't. Science should be free of playground bullies and group-think. Thanks, Mr. Stein, for shining a clear light. We can all see a little better now.

Entertaining and respectful treatment of a serious subject
Probably the best part of it is that they manage to talk to many of the most prominent evolutionists/atheists and get some revealing remarks out of them. Like how intelligent design is only an acceptable idea if it is by space aliens, not God. And how they hate religion and want to get rid of it. A few of them admit that they don't know how life started but that candor never comes out of academia or the moneyed science institutions. They keep serving us organic soup. Also what I liked about it, was that it shows the connection between social Darwinism and atheism and genocides like the holocaust. I've watched a lot of Nazi movies and documentaries but I don't recall ever seeing this connection made clear. Not by major media. Most supposedly educated people seem to think Hitler, Stalin and all their ilk were just crazy evil monosters that just happened to come along and get in power at around the same time. You don't often see them presented as normal people who faithfully and ardently believed in ideas that were wrong. "Expelled" traces the evolution of those ideas and shows that they are still around and in power. I admire the makers of this film and hate to see them take such a thrashing from the establishment and on the internet. Although largely ignored by the mainstream media Expelled is at least as good as Michael Moore's latest efforts. Certainly better than Bill Maher's snarky and mocking "Religulous".

a major challenge to evolutionary theory
What if there was a better explanation than the theory of evolution? it doesn't matter because science treats it now as absolute gospel. Intelligent design doesn't hinder student's scientific minds, treating evolution as absolute fact does...we only truly become ignorant when we stop questioning what other people say. ben stein asked the perfect question about the evolutionary process in his video: how?

Exposes atheistic evolution...
...for the foolishness it is. The documentary was put together well...witty and informative. The thing that makes it worth while is when Stein questions atheists, including Dawkins.
Atheistic beliefs seem plausible until atheists are forced to defend their ideas rather than simply attacking other people's. It's amazing, the same folk who tell us we're stupid for believing in a God we can't see inform us they believe that the planet earth was seeded with life by aliens. I suppose they call that the little green men theory of life...

This Movie Tells the Truth
A few years ago, I did research for a technical writing project on Intelligent Design. At that time, I didn't know what ID was all about. My research yielded stunning information about how the ID theory is treated by academia - just like Stein's movie reveals.
In the movie, Richard Dawkins and one other gentleman whose name I do not recall are perfect examples of how non-sensical evolutionists sound. Dawkins explains that highly "evolved" men created (designed) life. Dawkins advocated design, demonstrating his problem isn't with Intelligent Design itself but with God.
The other gentleman, when asked by Stein how life began, rambled about some ridiculous theory of how life began "on the backs of crystals." Huh? When Stein asked the evolutionist how life went from "mud" to man, the evolutionist rolled his eyes as if Stein was just not getting it. "I already told you," he bemused. "But I'll try again." He then repeated his "crystal" theory, which was really not an answer at all.
This movie is not so much about what ID is all about but rather how those who even mention ID are treated in a Nazi fashion. Very scary.

Truth.
To some the truth hurts, so when the truth is brought forth the people offended by it attack the truth giver and I see many people hated the film because of that.

Breaking the Barrier of Lies to get to the Truth
The great debate between intelligent design and evolution. What shocks me is that I have seen this myself at university of Arkansas many years ago. The same biasness the same bullying. It is amazing. I have been wondering if it has been getting any better, in the field of education on the narrow mindedness of it all, I guess not. Since breakthroughs in technology, like in the past 10 to 15 years, there has been more evidence leaning towards the intelligent design theory than the evolutionary theory. This is the first DVD I have seen that covers this issue well. It is highly discussed in the intellectual field but not highly read by the masses. This summarizes what I have read lately. I highly recommend reading more on the intelligent design theory. There are some mind-blowing facts that have been uncovered recently. If you can find computerized representations on some of these finds in science, it would just shock you. Nature, biological structures, etc are just so highly complex. With the evidence, I just believe it had to be designed by intelligent beings. Anyone with a half a brain would conclude that also. This is just one more leap for the Renovator historians and writers. These people write the truth that disintegrates the norm of Marxist and darwinists propaganda instilled in our education institutions and mass media outlets.
One beef I have is that I understand the evolutionist's connection with Nazism. However, B. Stein makes no real mention of the close connection with the communists; it is only implied. It must be remembered that the Communists have murdered several million more civilians than the Nazis and have justified it in their minds too. This was to due to their understanding of Humankind's place in the worldview of the communist's utopian state of mind. Remember Marxists (and communists) are one of two types of people: atheists or God-haters. That is it.
Check out the last part of Stein vs. Dawkins. Dawkins Would believe in the I.D. theory ... if it were assumed an alien started life on this earth. But he would not believe in the I.D. theory if it were assumed that a Deity started life on earth. Check Out Ben Steins "LOOK" he gives him after his statement. Like , "What a Freakin DumbArse!" And to those racists people out there, this documentary was done by a Jew. Many people are down on Jews, but not all or most are bad by any means.

Funny but hard hitting
Ben is his usual ironic self in this mock-u-mentary about Darwinism and the near-religion surrounding it. Those expecting non-stop hilarity will be stopped in their tracks as this is not a straight-up comedy, but Ben's soul-searching documentary about his roots and beliefs. Ben starts by investigating why certain professors and scientists are being censored in the nation's educational institutions because they don't believe Darwinian evolution is airtight. This leads Ben to interview the other side of the issue. Irony follows as Ben finds that the people who are doing the persecuting are as religiously-motivated as those they claim are hurting science because of their views. The admissions that those in the academic establishment make to Ben are shocking and create profoundly poignant moments, stirring you to carefully examine your own beliefs about the origin of life and world-views that shape culture. This is a funny yet extremely hard-hitting documentary about topics that no one dares to touch, yet Ben adroitly does.

Ben Stein rocks
Cheers for Ben Stein! He takes on the priesthood of neo-darwinism with unabashed and uncommon sense. Whether or not you agree with Ben, you owe it to yourself to consider the validity of the Intelligent Design argument for yourself instead of swallowing the neo-darwinist hidden agenda without an ounce of scrutiny or skepticism just so the cool kids won't make fun of you.

Expelled the DVD
Nice presentation from the concerned side of what has and is being taken away in "institutions of higher learning" who say they are for "free speech" but only allow one side of the issue to be presented.
