Brought the family to see Ben Stein's Expelled last night. The theater was about 75% full and most guests were my age or older. My 10 and 12 year old were bored and e movies was way over their heads. Cripes it was almost over my heads. But my other two braniac kids understood it.
It was a very good watch. Since I listen to crazy right wing radio I am very aware of all the Rights views of the drive by media, the left elites...blah blah blah. But when you watch this movie and start to understand the hate that is involved in the main issue of the movie....it' scary.
The movie is a long sarcastic version of 60 minutes. Ben goes about showing how the main stream academics not only do not want intelligent design to be taught, but they want to eliminate any thought of it. OK...what the hell is intelligent design??? It's the belief that their is intelligence in the design of the world....yeah...we still hide it.....OK It's God...can you believe it! So the other side ...the people who believe in Darwinism....are atheist and think intelligent design has NO place in any discussion. When you listen to these folks talk about how stupid the mere thought that God is involved.....hear their hate for others...it's crazy.
The movie was a great conversation starter with my teenagers. My oldest kept saying "are these people on crack" she made me laugh.
So go check it out.
BTW GO CARDINALS!

just saw Expelled, i liked it too... Ben Stein's goal in making Expelled (i gather) is to promote free thought, especially more thinking about motivations that drive American academia and a lot of other behind-the-scenes worldview that we tend to take for granted.
Hey Patrick- Thanks for the comment....I checked out your blog, great stuff.
