Format:DVD
To understand this DVD you need to realise that it is an American phenomena. The young earth creationists want creationism to be taught at school, then along come the Intelligent Design (ID) group which is based on the observation of data at the cellular level. The scientific elite (Smithsonian) want nothing to do with ID because it could be a back door to creationism (and God). Therefore the elite silence any mention of ID. The big question is whether ID can contribute anything to science. If it could then it would be pretty stupid and unscientific to silence it. The elite also put a limit to freedom of thought/discussion within the science community, which is not healthy for science, good science comes from thinking outside the envelope (of current dogma).
The program goes on to show the natural outworking of Darwinian evolution that resulted in eugenics (in the USA and Germany) and the holocaust. There is a fascinating interview with British Atheist Richard Dawkins who could not explain the origin of life and posited panspermia, which only removes the problem to another planet. The DVD was better than I expected, it was certainly thought provoking, whether or not you agree with ID.
A good intro to ID is the DVD Unlocking The Mystery Of Life [DVD], on the link between eugenics and Darwinism see Darwin's Dangerous Idea [DVD], episode 2.

Most reviewers have missed the point entirely
It's ironic that Ben Stein's point is so clearly proven by the many angry reviewers against this movie. Stein does not come out for or against ID. Read more

Standing for Freedom in the Scientific World
This is a choking revelation of how and why academia is stopping researchers to publish their findings because it doesn't agree with Darwin's theory. Read more

Questions most scientist won't ask. Effects they want to avoid.
Expelled shows scientists and journalists who have been fired for questioning the "consensus" of atheistic Darwinism. Read more

Expelled - DVD
Best documentary since 'Super Size Me'. Ben Stein does a great job with what is a very divisive issue.

An Eye Opener
The message of this movie needs to become widespread. There is a lack of freedom in our world when it comes to freedom of inquiry and freedom of expression. Read more
