Scientists running scared of ID,
By
This review is from: Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed (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,

This review is from: Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed (DVD)
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. His point is that the scientific community has shown a definite bias against anyone who even dares to talk about the possibility of ID. Science is supposed to be open-minded to any theory until it has been disproven. Neither the theory of ID nor the theory of evolution have been definitively proven. So why are so many of us so afraid of debating this issue?

Questions most scientist won't ask. Effects they want to avoid.,
By Scott Plavnick (Mississauga, Ontario) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed (DVD)
Expelled shows scientists and journalists who have been fired for questioning the "consensus" of atheistic Darwinism. Then it interviews scientists who show that their research shows that Darwinism can't answer the questions of life. And then it concludes by showing states that have been built on Darwinist ideology, and enforced it with the power of a militaristic state.
