... that was a review? C'mon Era, you can do better than that. Tell us about the movie. What did you like about it? What did you hate about it? Why? What kind of person would want to see this movie? Should I watch it if I enjoy horror flicks?

My son went to see it tonight as well.  He's supposed to call me with the details.  I'm hoping to go soon myself.

I'm wondering how long this will be out?  I'm thinking it won't be out long but I guess it depends on the attendance. 

 

 

I have yet to see this advertised but I have seen other movies recently like "Maid of Honor" and some other one about a surrogate mother numerous times....I keep waiting to see them advertise "Expelled" and am still waiting.

Jythier's right....give us some details.........please.

From what my son told me by watching and reading the reviews it depends on which side of the fence you're on.

This move has been given A+ ratings and F+ ratings and it's pretty predictable which side is saying what.

The point is....is this the truth Stein is speaking or not? Is there any substance to what he's speaking or not? Are Scientists losing tenure or losing jobs because they are Christians? Are they being refused their spot of being able to write in the scientific journals simply because they are Christian? Are they being advised to keep their belief in God a secret because they are Scientists?

The answer to all of these questions is yes...no matter if you like the movie or not. So for all you closed minded people out there, find a Christian who is also a Scientist and ask them yourself. Although it may be hard, because most of them are hiding out in the now empty closets (vacated by another group) all across the country.

I mean com'on you say you like the truth don't you? Or do you? Then just see it for yourself and see if there is any substance to what he's saying before you trash the movie.

That's too bad SC because you pretend to be so open minded. Did you NOT know that Ben Stein is NOT a Christian? He's a non-practicing Jew so if anyone should be unbiased, he would certainly be a possiblity wouldn't he?

Tell me this......where did you hear the producer admit to outright obfuscation of facts and hyperbole?

Keep in mind, I'm not an ID person. As you know, I'm a young earth creationist believer. So there's a diff in my belief and this one but I do plan on seeing the movie because I know for a fact, that what he's saying about these scientists losing their jobs and being discriminated against is very true.

I listened to that interview as well. Wasn't surprised in the least at the outcome...that's why I'd really rather not waste the moola on viewing propaganda.

A Pastifarian is one who believes that the universe was created by the Flying Spaghetti Monster.



It's actually a belief system to explain how exactly Intelligent Design occurred, thanks to the grand Spaghediety. Read more here.



'People' pay to see a lot of things. You must've paid to see Expelled. I wasn't talking about 'people'. I was asking KFC, specifically, knowing her as I do, if she would pay to watch An Inconvenient Truth, or an evolution-heavy documentary.

Guess who's got new wallpaper.

Mark Mathis sort of shot the movie in the foot when he refused to let PZ Myers into the film where he (Mathis) would be answering questions later.

 

He pretended that it was because Myers wasn't invited, but the invites were sent out via Internet.  Richard dawkins got in as a "guest" under Myers name.  Guests didn't show on the list.

 

Now why would Mathis not want Myers there when he was thanked at the end of the film?

 

 

I linked this very broadcast on Era's blog about ID.  Don't believe us...listen for yourself.  Mathis is NOT your friend.  He put his foot so far in it he makes all believers look like agenda driven idiots.  There are bad apples in every barrel.  Bad scientists, bad believers.  Mathis is a bad man all around.  Scientists and believers alike should suspend their disagreements long enough to out this guy for what he is.  A spin doctor and a liar.

 

 

It isn't a joke.  I didn't really scroll up to who said it, so I won't discuss it in context, but instead, will make an attempt at educating you.

 

When someone somewhere decided that ID should be taught in the science class, it angered some people.  It angered them because ID is not science as science defines itself.  It's untestable and unproveable.  A lot of science minded folks believed, maybe for right or wrong, that it was just an agenda to get creationism taught in public schools.

 

So these people that were angered started preaching the gospel of the "Flying Spaghetti Monster."  The FSM supposedly created the whole universe with his noodley appendage.  And they said that if you were going to allow ONE unproveable doctrine into science class, then you had to allow them all - including the Flying Spaghetti Monster. 

 

Adherants of the Flying Spaghetti Monster are other known as "Pastafarians."  get it?  *rimshot*

I've gotta sign up for this.

All hail the Flying Spaghetti Monster!
