 | Ben Doesn't Know What Science Is Dec 15, 2009 |
I saw the movie on Showtime recently. I think Ben Stein forgot what science is. Science studies the natural world.
Anything that brings in a need for an "Intelligent Designer" (whatever that may be), is no longer science, but becomes something "supernatural". I don't see how you can compare the two, regardless what you think of evolution.
| | | | Great teaching aid, but not in the way Ben Stein intended... Dec 14, 2009 |
I teach a class that includes logic and logical fallacies. This film is a wonderful teaching tool for me. From start to finish, it is a buffet of logical fallacies. My students are justifiably appalled at the film's obvious weaknesses, such as the film maker's failure to ever provide a single piece of evidence to support the case of intelligent design. The ad hominem association of evolution with the Nazi genocide is so over-the-top that it actually made my students, religious kids included, angry. Thank you, Ben Stein, for making a film so riddled with ignorance of science and fallacious claims -- you have unwittingly helped today's young people to be more vigilant in their examination of claims such as yours!
On a personal note, I regret that I had to actually buy this film to use it as a teaching tool. Spending my own money on such laughable propaganda was painful, even when it serves my students well as a negative example! | | | | Antagonistic Dec 14, 2009 |
I found this to be a ridiculously foolish and ignorant project. It isn't a straight documentary, and the logic of it is either misinformed or clandestine.
I feel that trying to press the world, people, science, whatever, for an answer to the whole unmoved mover question simply makes matters worse. If, somehow, we could prove some sort of answer to the existence of 'God' per se, it would immediately unravel the very same concept. If we could define a higher power by the carnal, we wouldn't *need* a higher power. I can't see how this film helps anyone other than the atheistic Darwinists it claims to be upset at.
Chaos only really tastes like hope in a time of conflict, and only when you're the underdog, and, frankly, any sort of faith will make it edible, even a pure, cold Darwinistic one. Giving atheistic Darwinists something to fight only provides them with an otherwise absent purpose--even more so if they have the upper hand in the conflict, as the film suggests.
Besides, isn't pure athiestic Darwinism self-defeating if left to its own ends? Humans are relatively pathetic Biologically, and, if it's all about survival of the fittest--well, I've met lots of hungry young turks that'd just love to meet up with some scrawny old millionaire scientist who walks into the wrong neighborhood. | | | | Pure propaganda Dec 13, 2009 |
"Science is a philosophy of discovery, intelligent design is a philosophy of ignorance"-Neil Tyson, astrophysicist. He is right and nothing in this "documentary" shows otherwise. Stein's main argument, that banning intelligent design from the science classroom is an assault on academic freedom, is absurd. Should economics departments be required to teach Marxism as an alternative theory? All ideas are not equally valid, as one would hope a conservative like Stein would understand. The point, made relentlessly by biologists such as Ken Miller, is that intelligent design is not science. I mention Miller, because as a Catholic, he refutes the assertion Stein assumes as fact-that there is no place for religious scientists in biology. (It is worth mentioning that Francis Collins, also a devout scientist, has denounced intelligent design in his best-selling book The Language of God).
The movie gets more ridiculous as it goes on. As I suspected he would, Stein tried to blame Darwinism is (in part) for the Holocaust. A number of self-appointed experts go on about the importance of religion to a moral society-which has zero to do with the question of whether evolution is true. This film is nothing more than propaganda.
| | | | No Intelligence is Required to belive this film Dec 11, 2009 |
| This film is in no way an exploration of intelligent design vs Darwinism. The first and most glaring omission of the movie is a definition of intelligent design and the theory that these "scientists" were punished for publishing. Evolution is defined (erroneously) several times, but ID not once, why? Because it is not a theory, but a dressed up version of creationism. The second glaring omission is any interviews with scientists who believe in God, but not intelligent design. Over 40% of the American Acad. of Sciences lists themselves as Christians, so why ignore them? Because it disproves the film's premise, so ignore the evidence (a theme necessary to believe ID). The third glaring omission is history. When the film says that science caused fascism, Nazism, and the Holocaust,it conveniently ignores the Inquisition, the Crusades, the rape of the Congo and what Darwin really wrote. It ignores that anti-semitism, a lost war, collapsed economy, and the insanity of Hitler were the main contributing factors to the Holocaust. The film quote mines, outright misquotes and distorts data and court cases, and ignores any fact that contradicts their belief. Darwinism is presented as this revered dogma of scientists that must be protected at all costs, but in reality large portions of Darwin's theories have been chucked in favor of new evidence, hence Modern Synthetic Theory is what is taught in college, not Darwin's theory, but this is never once mentioned. If you believe in Creationism or ID, fine, but don't dress it up as science. Religion is religion and science is science. You can only combine them through deception and distortion. Don't make a mockumentary and call it a documentary. What does a movement gain by only winning converts by lies? | | | Write your own review about Expelled
