Ben Stein - Expelled

Wow. It has been like a year since I have written in here. I will get better at this I promise. I like to write…. It just isn’t in my patterns yet. If you aren’t in my patterns, then you get unintentionally left out. I don’t mean to. It’s nothing personal. I am just very habitual…..

Anyway, to the point. I saw a great movie tonight. Not my typical movie style to see. I have friends that are indie. I have friends that are documentary buffs. I am not one of those. I am plain old action, adventure, good story, romance, comedy, and (the most extreme genre I subscribe to is:) sci-fi. I do love sci-fi. This was a documentary style movie by Ben Stein. The name of the movie is Expelled. It was very intriguing. It is one of those films that will make a lot of people mad. Some will be mad because they are incapable of having their beliefs shaken (they don’t like questions). Some will be mad because they didn’t know our freedoms were being infringed upon so greatly.

I was mostly just amazed. I was amazed to listen to some of the most learned people in the world not form adequate arguments for their beliefs. I was amazed when people were caught in outright lies and fumbled while trying to back-pedal. I was amazed at Richard Dawkins. What an intelligent idiot. He was the most convincing part of the film for Intelligent Design. He just didn’t mean to be.

The basic premise of the movie is that the scientific community is not allowing freedom of speech. They aren’t a democracy, they are more like a communist state that silences any voice that asks questions against the mainstream. There is a lot more too it than that, and I may describe it more later. I don’t want to give the whole thing away,though, but I do need to say this. You really should see this film. It doesn’t matter if you don’t agree. I am fine with that. The purpose isn’t to convince you about one belief. The purpose is to point out that we are losing our freedoms. Freedoms that many of us have died for. We must do something about it.

See the film. Make up your own mind. Tell others to see it to.

That’s all for now, folks.
