Intelligent Design Film is Far Worse Than Stupid »

Posted By Neophile 1 year, 6 months ago in Arts & Entertainment

Rarely has a movie subtitle so capably assessed a movie's content as does "Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed." There is not a shred of intelligence on display in this just released "documentary" purporting to be a careful examination of the fight over teaching creationism and evolution in America.

    And it just keeps getting better than this:

    "The definition of what science is and what should be taught as science in a world in which Asia and Europe are itching to clean our economic clocks by seeing us throw away our considerable lead in synthetic biology, genomics, agriculture and the biomedical, oceanographic, geological and energy sciences escapes Stein and his producers."

    Yeah, it does. Here's more FTA:

    "Science, by the very definition of the term, wants to invoke god or divine intervention as little as possible in seeking explanations for natural phenomena. Is that because, as "Expelled" suggests, scientists hate religion? No. Rather it is because the whole point of science is to press to see how far natural causes and mechanisms can go in explaining what is going on around us."

    FTA:

    "There is not much room in science, although there is in history, religion, philosophy or sociology class, for jumping up and down and invoking god as the explanation of anything and everything. Could such an explanation be true? Sure. Is it science? Hardly. Does the movie get us anywhere close to understanding the difference? Not a bit.

    Worse, those who embrace intelligent design â;; either the view that evidence of a designer's hand can be found in living things or that the creationism of the Bible is a valid account of how we came to exist â;; have to behave as if these accounts are subject to empirical disproof. But, think about it, Ben. Is that any way to save religion? Isn't the price of making faith into science and subject to empirical falsification heresy?"

    I'd seriously put my own comment here, but I can't say it better.

    I think it's an interesting debate to have. I don't support the silencing of any opinion or information. The forum of the debate needs to be appropriate though.

    More FTA:

    "Then, and most culpably in terms of the downright immorality of the movie and everyone associated with it, we are presented with what will happen if we keep teaching Darwinism in our schools. The logical consequence of Darwinism is Nazi eugenics!

    No, I am not making this up. The core of the movie consists of a sequence in which Stein visits the former German psychiatric hospital at Hadamar where the mass sterilization and murder techniques were first perfected that were later to be used in the concentration camps. Then Ben heads to Dachau, where 35,000 people died. Stein finishes this sequence by bravely visiting a statue of Darwin where he stares the long deceased now marbleized evil-doer down while making it clear who is directly to blame for Hitler, the sterilization of tens of thousands of German children, the death of 6 million Jews and the deaths of countless other millions of victims of Nazism and those who died fighting the Nazi regime."

    "Intelligent design" is TOTALLY useless as a scientific hypothesis, CAN NOT be tested by the scientific method and is therefore NOT science.

    To be useful, a hypothesis MUST be testable and should lead to predictions and hence new discoveries.

    Darwin's theories ARE testable and DO to lead to new predictions and discoveries.

    "Intelligent design" is NOT testable and has lead to nothing but this silly movie and an even sillier museum of creationism.

    Stein is a perfect example of an educated person who lacks the ability to reason. With a great command of unrelated facts and figures, he has managed to distill ignorance into a concentrated form of propgaganda that belongs, at best, on an early Sunday morning religious show.

    According to his dubious form of logic, drilling holes in people's heads to cure headaches should also be taught in medical school as an effective alternative to the use of pharmaceuticals.

    And after watching a few minutes of this documentary, you may consider head drilling too.

    An assistant professor in ANY scientific field who only formulates non-testable hypotheses can not expect to receive tenure at ANY respectable University.

    The hypothesis of "Intelligent design" is a non-testable hypothesis.

        I guess I really don't know what intelligent design is. What I do know is that my religious tradition always accepted evolution as the way things happened. Then we marveled at the great power that made evolution possible. Never saw any conflict between science and religion. It was always "Those words in the Bible really don't mean what they seem to mean today; we really don't know what they mean." That's why they call it the Creation Myth.

        But that was long ago, before movies like this tried to "enlighten" us.

          Wow. after watching the trailer for this movie I must say that Ben Stein is just as wretched as Michael Moore. Only that Stein didn't have to take people's words out of context. Still, a good entertaining move like Moore's. Ever seen Me and Roger? Great watch, I might add. Made me laugh a lot. Go Stein. I guess you didn't really think you would win an award with this one, though, did you? I love these faux documentaries. One day there will be college classes for students about documentaries and you and Moore will be items of interest as to how not to express the truth. Does anybody else think, like I do, that Stein and Moore have studied German propaganda films from the 30's and 40's?

            Wow, 2008 and religious cult movies are still made. I like the Jim Jones story better. I wonder if other cults will follow suit and make movies to defy logic???

              Lightning and thunder were once understood to be part of intelligent design as well. The Romans KNEW them to be signs of Jove's anger. The ancients knew that sickness was caused by witches casting curses or the anger of the gods. Some parts of the "intelligent design" myth die harder than others.

              Most of those who insist that the "theory" of intelligent design be taught alongside the theory of evolution have no earthly understanding of what "theory" means in scientific terms. It is NOT synonymous with "hunch". A few intelligent designers are actually scientists and know very well that the word "theory" can't rationally be applied to their explanation of the origin of the species. But they also understand the politics of dumb-down in play in America and know which side their bread is buttered on.

              We all start our beliefs with certain presuppositions, which are ideas expressing an opinion based on incomplete evidence, or put another way, it is a supposition made prior to having knowledge. When we apply this presupposition and logic to what is written in Genesis, we understand the facts and events stated as real. We then use this knowledge to explain and hypothesize the evidences we observe around us. Our Religion is fundamental to our presuppositions.

              Evolutionists have the same presuppositional nature when their theories are examined. They start with the basis of no god or at least not one involved with special creation as described in book of Genesis. They then use their presupposition to interpret the same evidences to put forth their evolution theory. The manner in which they proclaim this theory as fact is in itself their religion. The Webster's dictionary defines religion as a cause, principle, or system of beliefs held to with ardor and faith.

              Well we all know why Ben Stein is constantly using Clear Eyes. He is smoking some serious $#@!

              Where does live ultimately come from?

              Ha, You dont have a percise answers, just logical theories.

              Therefore since you dont know, I sujest that we replace your logical theories with my theology!

              For all you people that think that science is a religion and is only real if you believe in it, please step to the edge of a clift. The theory of gravity is only a theory, and if you dont really believe in it, you should be ok if you step over the edge of the clift.

                    I have not seen the movie so I can not comment on that but the story was so slanted I had to put my monitor on its side to read it . science is by definition doing something over and over again noting the result and proving theory's of natural laws and how they react .if the beginning of life started with a big bang could an explosion bring order ? or does it make sense that someone planed it and put it in order . Darwin's theory is just that a theory [ although some fight so fiercely for it you would think it were there religion . some of Darwin's theory has proven to have solid evidence and some of it has little if any proof . the origins of the beginning of life is where Darwin's theory falls apart and can not be proven scientifically ,despite popular opinion the intelligent design does have scientific proof for its beliefs especialy in area of the origins of life . check out darwins black box an excelent book

                    The core problem lies with "faith," which in all honesty is simply the capacity for willful ignorance of the facts.

                      As of 2001 there were over 313 main religions in the USA and many more denominations and offshoots of these religions. There are thousands of different religion and denominations throughout the world and many of these are imported to the USA by immigrants.

                      If public schools want to teach other than evolution they would have to teach the beliefs of each & every religion or face violating the US Constitution. Do you want you child to learn that one God exists & who is that particular God, or maybe that many Gods exist, or spirits in place of God, or that man himself is a God, or that the Earth is Godlike, or that no God exists, or that the elements are the Gods of the Earth, or aliens are our Gods, etc. etc. etc.? Christianity's view of creation cannot, must not be the only one taught if we are to be a free people in a nation controlled by ALL of the people.

                        I used to watch Ben's game show. It was funny when Jimmy Kimmel was on it. The problem is, although Ben is (supposedly) pretty smart, he has some notions stuck in his head that apparently will NOT yield to logic. "Intelligent design" isn't really even a theory; there isn't any real evidence to support it. None. Whatsoever. It's more an idea, or maybe a tale. The word "theory" belongs in a rational discussion with ideas that can be demonstrated with evidence. THEORY: "a well-substantiated explanation of some aspect of the natural world;..." There is NO substantiation for "intelligent design." It shouldn't be TAUGHT in any public school in ANY class. Sunday school - OK, if you want to - go ahead and mix it in with the other stories and tales. Anyone with sense would then realize it was just a fictional "tale."

                          I doubt this movie can be called a documentary. I haven't seen it. I suspect it is a feel good movie for religious creationists. C'mon, let them have their movie too. I believe in evoution and am not religious. Death Wish (not a documentary) was one of my favorite movies and yet I would never consider going out and wasting every criminal I come across (although sometimes I wish I could).

                          I think many deeply religious people need their beliefs and would be lost without them. It's human nature. Let them have this. I don't mind as long as they don't drag me kicking and screaming to church every Sunday.

                          To say the profs who were fired because they strayed from their subject matter is to ignore the well known fact that a lot of profs do this in a political way today and they're not fired. Far from it, they often are hired or kept because of their (liberal) inclinations. If I had an anthropology professor teaching creationism, I would fire him too.

                            I have researched the question asked by Stein, "Where did life come from?" and can't find the answer but here's some of what I found:

                            R. C. Lewontin http://www.talkorigins.org/faqs/evolution-fact....

                            It is a FACT that the earth with liquid water, is more than 3.6 billion years old.

                            It is a FACT that cellular life has been around for at least half of that period and that organized multicellular life is at least 800 million years old.

                            It is a FACT that major life forms now on earth were not at all represented in the past.

                            It is a FACT that major life forms of the past are no longer living.

                            It is a FACT that all living forms come from previous living forms.

                            The last stated FACT is indeed not a fact by the evolutionist's own admission. Tracing backwards, one must at some point conclude that a living form came from a non-living form. I have no problem with the facts presented. I do have a problem with the assumptions derived from those facts.

                            Intelligent Design as Science is pure folly. Its an attempt by the religious wack-nuts to turn our educational system into madrasses. I always laugh at the righties when they point to the Islamic schools as indioctrination clinics when that is exactly the same thing they want to do with our schools here.

                            FTA: "The definition of what science is and what should be taught as science in a world in which Asia and Europe are itching to clean our economic clocks by seeing us throw away our considerable lead in synthetic biology, genomics, agriculture and the biomedical, oceanographic, geological and energy sciences escapes Stein and his producers."

                            Ridiculous conclusion!!!

                            I saw this movie, and enjoyed it. It was fun seeing Stein do a Michael Moore on Dawkins to the point where Dawkins accepts the possibility OF intelligent design. He also did a great job of showing how many scientists take to evolution the way the religious do with their belief in God.

                              Here's a video on the history of religion--I think it's a popcorn moment.

                                Kville, this 13 minute video is for you. I had to dig to find it again, but I think it's well worth watching.

                                  Richard Dawkins and other scientists were bamboozled into doing this movie. They were approached with doing interviews for a movie called 'Crossroads' about the intersection between science and religion. The producers later claimed 'Crossroads' was the original title but the project became the movie 'Expelled' as they gradually uncovered all this sinister censoring stuff (insert creepy music here) going on.

                                  Fair enough. Why then did the production team reserve the web address for www.expelledthemovie.com months BEFORE they did these interviews. Why did they NEVER reserve www.crossroadsthemovie.com?

                                    If ID were actually scientific, why do it's proponents distort information? Abiogenesis is not the same as spontaneous generation. Secondly, why is it at all surprising that organic matter should arise from matter? It's only astounding because of the side that we're on.Repeating processes which occur due to laws, not chance, happen throughout the universe. The formation of organic life from in organic materials is based on chemical laws, not random chance. Furthermore WHY should any of this mean that meaning is being taken away from the universe? It's not meaning that's being destroyed, it's just an outdated cosmology that's changing

                                      Damn right.

                                      Lets have a byebul curriculum in science.

                                      Astronomy - The sun revolves around the earth, just like the byebul says.

                                      Chemistry - fire and brimstone is all ya need to know

                                      Paleontology - the earth is 5,000 years old, and the fossil record is a tool of the devil placed here to deceive the faithful.

                                      Yeah, let's be "open minded."

                                      Uh-huh, like 1 1 = 2 only if you believe it. Or how about geometry, if you beleive right.

                                      Your comments might be more productive if you either respond to one of the well reasoned comment here or present a well reasoned comment of your own.

                                      A list of rants and arbitrary names (even if in upper case) is not very persuasive

                                      I'm all for competing theories. That's what science is all about.

                                      ID is simply NOT a theory. It is a conclusion based on the unsupported idea of 'Irreducible Complexity'. Until ID has something more substantive than an argument from incredulity to bring to the table, teaching ID in a science class is like teaching air guitar in a music class.

                                      What passes for education in Kville is what is sad. Why not tell kids 2 plus 2 equals 5, it is the opinion of someone who does not understand math and they demand it be taught in math class. You are censoring if you don't let crackpot math compete with actual math in math class. Should I type it in all caps to annoy more? Those communists who won't admit 2 plus 2 equal 5 are not broad minded!

                                      (Sarcasm off).
