Summary: well-sourced perspective articel about Intelligent Design
Comment: I was impressed at the breadth of the perspective on the issue of whether Intelligent Design Theory actually is scientific theory. This documentary uses direct interviews with esteemed academicians, relatively unknown professionals, and some political activists involved in the issues around Intelligent Design. It is shown that whereas Evolution Theory was once roundly opposed by the large majority of society, Evolution Theory has become almost axiomatic among contemporary scientific/politic cross-sections of society. The first portion of this documentary, which comprises about 80% of the play-time, is a secular investigation of what actually is behind the various positions on Intelligent Design.
The last portion of this documentary involves application of theology to secular ethics: if Evolution Theory is taken to extremes then what might be the overall social/political results?

Summary: Love Ben Stein! He is so reason-able!
Comment: 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.

Summary: Entertaining and respectful treatment of a serious subject
Comment: 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".

Summary: a major challenge to evolutionary theory
Comment: 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?
Customer Rating:
Summary: Exposes atheistic evolution...
Comment: ...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...

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.
