expelledexposed.com— What Ben Stein ISN'T Telling you About Intelligent Design, Creationism, and the Making of "Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed"

Umm ok and what about the systematic attempts to undermine beliefs? Agnostic's don't try to undermine scientific theories in regards to evolution or "touchy" subjects considered by religions, Atheists and people who follow a religion have one fundamental thing in common that makes them at odds, they both have beliefs. And as we all know controversial beliefs crash like its nobody business. The whole point of being Agnostic is to not have a belief, therefore it leaves room for interpretation.
"Despite potential discrepancies that arise from this documentary (as I'm sure can be found in any other as well from those arguing opposing viewpoints), I still commend Ben Stein for arguing for the idea that more than one theory be presented. "No one has argued that "more than one theory" cannot be presented. The problem that has arisen is that "intelligent design" advocates claim that their conjecture -- for which they have done no research, for which they have uncovered no evidence and through which they have made no useful predictions -- is a theory, when in fact it is not."In the end, I see this film as more of a commentary on suppression of an opposing viewpoint, and I honestly feel that our children should be presented with all sides of a matter for them to make their own informed decision on which theory to believe."Your statement suggests that the "suppression" that is alleged is real, when there is no actual evidence in support of such a thing, and that there exists more than one "theory" regarding the subject of biodiversity, which there is not.
