Six Things in Expelled That Ben Stein Doesn't Want You to Know...

[cynatnite]

1) Expelled quotes Charles Darwin selectively to connect his ideas to eugenics and the Holocaust.
2) Ben Stein's speech to a crowded auditorium in the film was a setup.
3) Scientists in the film thought they were being interviewed for a different movie.
4) The ID-sympathetic researcher whom the film paints as having lost his job at the Smithsonian Institution was never an employee there.
5) Science does not reject religious or "design-based" explanations because of dogmatic atheism.
6) Many evolutionary biologists are religious and many religious people accept evolution.

5. How did

Stein become such a buffoon? This is a guy who was smart enough to work in the Nixon administration, and now he is reduced to this? I've always hated his politics, but I thought he was at least a pretty smart guy. Sad.

Whomever is backing this thing is opening up the pocketbooks to promote this piece of crap all over the place. I'd sure be interested in finding out whose the money behind this thing. Bet we find some of the usual suspects.
