He asks some straight forward questions that have some of his interviewees squirming. I would highly recommend this movie. Don't forget to watch the extras. It's funny how some people will believe the incredible and deny the obvious. </p> I thoroughly enjoyed the movie ‘Expelled’ where Ben Stein interviewed a few of the scientists who mentioned intelligent design in their documents and were removed from their positions because of it.

(This is not a self-promotion) but...on my blog, I have this thing called The Conversation, designed to get Christ-followers and those who discard faith in conversation with one another. The last topic was on the questoin of: faith vs. science or faith and science? It has been interesting, and I linked to this as a way to extend the conversation. Would love for you to stop by, Phil, if possible.</p><p>Sam</p><p>sammahlstadt.wordpress.com</p> Funny you post about this.

Lots of Christians demean Darwinian theory, and thus lose a lot of credibility with seriously scientifically-minded spiritual seekers. This article makes me think that a better approach might be to discuss the common ground with theistic scientists rather than acting like scientists ourselves.</p> Awesome post, Phil.

And relabeling YEC “Intelligent Design (nudge nudge wink wink know what I mean know what I mean)” — hijacking a tradition that underpinned science from Newton to the Victorian Era — doesn’t change that.

Now I realize all there is to the Gospel these days is Young Earth Creationism Uber Alles, Pin the Tail on The Antichrist, and God Hates Fags, but…

And after Expelled’s release, a lot of the “Atheistic Darwinists” interviewed went public about not only how their interviews were edited to make them seem like EVILution’s Thought Police, a lot of the interviews were obtained under deceptive pretenses.  But then, they’re all ATHEISTs as opposed to the Word of GOD…
