Everyone with an ounce of objectivity who's been following this debacle knows that the makers of Expelled are liars, plain and simple. The Expelled Exposed site is great because, in just a few minutes, it can demonstrate those lies to people who haven't been following the story. Keep up the good work!
The thing that really grinds me about Expelled is how they felt the need to deceive the scientists they interviewed. If they were trying to create an objective documentary, why would they do that? Bravo to the NCSE for making this site.
I am soooo disappointed in Ben Stein for being involved with this movie. I met him 10 years ago and thought he was a pretty cool, smart guy. This movie just seems to say that he's willing to stoop to low levels of intellectual dishonesty to make a buck. Even if he really believes in ID, the arguments he makes in the movie are straw-men and misrepresentations of the current state of evolutionary theory. For shame, Ben, for shame.
I checked out the 'Expelled Exposed' site and read some of the comments on present-day discoveries pointing to Evolution. And as a Creationist, supposing that the claims for once are true- as the Evolutionary (macro) society has the tendency to construe truth (Piltdown man, Lucy, etc.- refer to http://www.drdino.com/articles.php?spec=59-)- I completely agree. For, Evolution is witnessed in biology...that is...MICRO-EVOLUTION (e.g. a mosquito acquiring new traits). However, in terms of MACRO-EVOLUTION (e.g. a rock becoming a mosquito), I am not a participant of such religious views- as the belief in a completely new species evolving via mutations has never (nor ever will be) observed/discovered/proven. Another note: I am mindful that certain aspects of Creationism are not demonstrable either...that is, not in the physical. For the Living God is not flesh, but rather Spirit; John 4:24 NIV: "God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in spirit and in truth.” . So I beseech you in love to test the claims of the Bible and to therefore, seek-after/test and see if you can find any fallacies within the truths of God. For, there is a loving "Creator" who created all peoples, and this same creator desires to bless you and free you from eternity in hell. Romans 3:23 NIV: "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." John 3:16-21: “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son,[6] that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. 17For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.18Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because he has not believed in the name of God's one and only Son.[7]19This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but men loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil.20Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that his deeds will be exposed.21But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what he has done has been done through God.” [John 3:16-21 NIV]. James 4:8 NIV: "Come near to God and he will come near to you. Wash your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double–minded." Jeremiah 29:13 NIV: "You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart." Here are some intriguing resources: drdino- dot- com; creationevidence-dot-org
