Expelled with Ben Stein - A Must See Movie

I have not seen this movie yet, but the trailer is incredible. This is not a movie about what is the truth about Darwin vs. Intellegent Design as much as it is about our rights as citizens and scientists to seek the truth without fear of persecution. I am a scientist by training, and I have spent several years in academic research labs. What bugs me to death is that, as a scientist, my findings were always completely open to debate and peer review. If someone didn’t like my findings, they could provide their own evidence to the contrary or poke holes in everything that I had done. This is the scientific process, and it is expected, however, politics often turns theories into dogma. It is very ironic that the same people who will cry and lament about the persecutions of Galileo by the church are now trying to perpetrate the same injustices on those who call their ‘dogmas’ into question. Try bringing up intellegent questions about Intellegent Design or Global Climate Change, and you will quickly be beaten down by name calling rather than intelligent debate.

Please check out the trailer for this movie. I think it will open many people’s eyes to the persecutions that are now being brought to bear on reasonable scientists asking legitamate questions. We must get the word out about this movie so that we can once again have a voice in the debate on these issues.
