Expelled Exposed

One of the few funny parts of the film, though, is Stein's interview with British philosopher of science Richard Dawkins. Dawkins' best-selling book The God Delusion is a clarion call for atheism, making him a bete-noire of the religious right. Ben Stein, marshalling the intellectual resources of Ferris Bueller's boring teacher, gets the better of him. Dawkins comes out of it looking pretty silly.

Ten bucks says Expelled's producers will send a cease-and-desist order. "Get your filthy intartubes off of our intellectual property!"

Dawkins was LIED to about the purpose of the "Expelled" film. He was told at first that he was being interviewed for a film called "Crossroads" and only found out the truth after he was interviewed.

That YouTube video shows Dawkins realizing he'd been lied to by another Creationist interviewer. He was smart enough to know that an angry reaction would make him look bad, so he asked the taping to be stopped first. The next shot of that video was actually recorded BEFORE the segment showing Dawkins being "stumped" by a question he had already addressed in his own books! In short, the entire video taping was a sham.

What "intellectual property"? They don't own the sites the reviews linked to are hosted on, I don't imagine.

Another living fossil has turned up without any morphological or expressed trait changing ,of any kind, in some supposed millions of years.

This "fastest evolving lifeform" is evolving at the molecular level where all those selective pressures like weather, predation, geography, alturism, etc. barf, barf are known to reside in packets of super quarks.

"The team found that although tuatara have remained largely unchanged physically over very long periods of evolution, they are evolving - at a DNA level - faster than any other animal yet examined"

Thus without sex, without generations of populations, without selective pressures, without morphological change, with no new features or traits, evolution is occuring at a rapid pace just without any effect whatsoever.

Is there any stupidity and laughable ignorance this crowd won't posture?

If science is not rescued from these evo dopeheads the world will see progress grind to a halt in the next decade.

I wonder, would a public school teacher in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, be allowed to say the following:

"It is interesting to contemplate ... [all the many forms of life on earth] ... so different from each other, have all been produced by laws acting around us. ... There is grandeur in this view of life, HAVING BEEN ORIGINALLY BREATHED BY THE CREATOR INTO A FEW FORMS OR INTO ONE; and that from so simple a beginning, endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been, and are being evolved."

Just imagine a public school teacher who says those words: that God creates life and places it on the earth in a few forms, and then that life evolves according to the physical and natural laws that God put into place in the universe.

Would that be allowed?

Actually, it should be REQUIRED FOR THE TEACHER TO SAY THAT.

Why? Because the quote is from: On the Origin of the Species, Chapter XV, Recapitulation and Conclusion, By Charles Darwin.

If you are going to teach Darwin's theory of evolution in public schools, you should teach what Darwin actually wrote about it.

That is a direct misquote from "The Origin of the Species" and taken out of context. Read the book yourself before spouting lies and assumptions about Darwin and evolution.

Regardless, the theory of evolution still stands and it makes no difference whether he believed in god or not(he didn't) as the science stands on its own.

Peace

It is interesting to contemplate an entangled bank, clothed with many plants of many kinds, with birds singing on the bushes, with various insects flitting about, and with worms crawling through the damp earth, and to reflect that these elaborately constructed forms, so different from each other, and dependent on each other in so complex a manner, have all been produced by laws acting around us. These laws, taken in the largest sense, being: * Growth with Reproduction, * Inheritance, which is almost implied by reproduction. * Variability from the indirect and direct action of the external conditions of life, and from use and disuse. * A Ratio of Increase so high as to lead to a Struggle for Life ... * ... and as a consequence to Natural Selection, entailing Divergence of Character and the Extinction of less-improved forms. Thus, from the war of nature, from famine and death, the most exalted object which we are capable of conceiving, namely, the production of the higher animals, directly follows. There is grandeur in this view of life, with its several powers, having been originally breathed into a few forms or into one; and that, whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been, and are being, evolved.

If you are going to teach Darwin’s theory of evolution in public schools, you should teach what Darwin actually wrote about it.
