ben stein is a genuis
last night i went to see another pre-screening of ben steins new mvie "expelled". i took a few friends to preview it because i wanted to not only spread the word about this movie but also hear feedback from them. everyone had the same response. everyone that watches this film loves it. ben stein is a genius. he interviews people from all over the place in a way that only ben stein can do. he is funny and smart and gets to the real issue. the issue is this. if a scientist or professor doesnt believe in darwinism as fact, they are expelled. sounds like a conspiracy theory? just watch this film. you will see the nasty cover up and abuse of the freedom of speech and academia in this country. it is a surprising and eye opening film that everyone has to see.
here is what you need to do. call your theater and make sure they are going to bring this film. also, go to www.getexpelled.com to get resources to promote the film to your school, church, friends, organization, office, etc.
this is the most important film you will see this year. it may be the most important film you will see in a decade. trust me on this. get behind this film and make it big. there is nothing but opposition thru mainstream media because of the incredible and controversial content of this film.
call your pastor right now and inform him. buy a screen and watch it as a group. discuss it. make something happen. act now. this is an opportunity that will slowly pass by us unless we get involved.

This has nothing to do with Expelled, which I think is amazing, but today I helped my 100th person as an online missionary. Thanks to you Brock I have helped 100 people better know God. Thanks, thanks 100 times
Brian has been looking up all kinds of info on this. he is sooo excited. we are taking the youth and we are spreading the word in the church to the adults. we are also going to call the movie theatre here in town to make sure it's coming and if not...we are going to get the word out for others to call and ask that they bring it!
we are also going to the "creation museam" (in ohio i think) in April.
museam....what in the world is that?? is that like a moselicum?
This films' main thesis, that anyone in the science community who believes in God, or is a Darwin dissenter is being "expelled" is false at its core.
In a New York Times interview, Walter Ruloff (producer of Expelled) said that researchers, who had studied cellular mechanisms, made findings suggestive of an intelligent designer. "But they are afraid to report them".
Mr. Ruloff also cited Dr. Francis S. Collins, a geneticist who directs the National Human Genome Research Institute and whose book, “The Language of God: A Scientist Presents Evidence for Belief”, explains how he came to embrace his Christian faith. Mr. Ruloff said that Dr. Collins separates his religious beliefs from his scientific work only because “he is toeing the party line”.
That’s “just ludicrous,” Dr. Collins said in a telephone interview. While many of his scientific colleagues are not religious and some are “a bit puzzled” by his faith, he said, “they are generally very respectful.” He said that if the problem Mr. Ruloff describes existed, he is certain he would know about it.
Similarly, Dr. Ken Miller is a professed Christian who wrote "Finding Darwin's God" (which I suggest you read). Dr. Miller has not been "expelled" in any fashion for his belief in God.
The movie tries to make the case that "Big Science" is nothing but a huge atheist conspiracy out to silence believers, but only presents a very one-sided look at some Discovery Institute "martyrs".
Carolyn Crocker "expelled"? - No.
Her annual teaching contract was not renewed. Was she "fired" for daring to bring God into research? - No. She was hired to teach Biology, and she decided to ignore the schools' curriculum and substitute her own curriculum.
Guillermo Gonzalez "expelled"? - No.
He was not granted tenure. The film doesn't bring up the fact that in all his years at ISU he had only brought in only a miniscule amount of grant money. Nor does it bring up the fact that in all his years at ISU he failed to mentor a single student through to their PhD. Nor does it mention that in his career at ISU, his previous excellent record of publication had dropped precipitously.
Richard von Sternberg "expelled"? - No.
Sternberg continues to work for NIH in the same capacity. Of course the movie doesn't bring up his underhanded tactics in getting Meyers work published.
This movie attempts to influence it's viewers with dishonesty, half-truths, and by a completely one-sided presentation of the facts.
If a scientists' research is not accepted by the scientific community, it isn't because the scientist either believes or doesn't believe in God, it is usually because they are producing bad science. Like the idea of Intelligent Design.
