'Expelled' breaks into Top 10 on first weekend

I've been waiting for this movie to come out and right now I'm too busy to see it. I'm excited to see it doing so well.

 

Thing is if Intelligent Design is so implausible, why are they so worried about it being taught? Surely the kids will eventually realise it isn't true. I think they're worried because they know it might be true.

I haven't seen it yet, but I have seen advertisements for it all over the internet. I am looking forward to seeing it! Has anyone here seen this movie yet?

 

Well what'd ya expect? I didn't read everything that link contained. However, I would point out that the opening part of the article that is critical of the "extras" in the audience is nonsense. I have participated in the audience of a "recorded live" video. What that article describes is no different than what I experienced back in the early 1990s, and you can bet that Michael Moore's and Al Gore's etc. "live audience" shots were/are no different either. It is a trick of the trade in the video industry. They have the script and they know the reaction that they are looking for from the audience. In fact, if the script has a part that is supposed to be funny they record the audience laughing several times from several different angles prior to beginning the actual recording with the actor/artist on stage. That way, if during the actual recording (with the actor/artist), the video editors do not feel that they got the reaction they were/are looking for they can splice in the pre-recorded shots that they do like. You can't condemn the content of the message based upon the recording tactics of the film industry. The article's author ought to at least be intellectually honest enough to admit what was really taking place rather than trying to act as if some big conspiracy is afoot.

 

I saw it, and loved it! I'm glad to see it doing so well!!

 

To be honest and fair, in a subsequent article, Dawkins says he did NOT admit to an intelligent designer, but constructed a "science fiction scenario" to answer Stein's query about whether Dawkins could think of any circumstances whatsoever under which intelligent design might have occurred (http://richarddawkins.net/article,2394,n,n).

Personally, I believe Dawkins is against anyone believing anything other than what Dawkins believes.

 

Looks more like you are misrepresenting his views.

 

Have you ever read Dawkins' books? If you had, you'd understand why I say that. Your position would be like saying Christopher Hitchens worshipped at your church last Sunday. :laugh:

 

OK, that sounds more consistent. I will have to read a transcript when I get a chance. Thanks for clarifying.

 

A major point I got from the movie was that the intellectuals in charge of science today are unwilling to give the ID theory any thought at all, and further, they immediately seek to destroy those that want to discuss it. Very unscientific.

my aside: In order to so vociferously take that stand, they must be "haters of God".

 

I only recently found out about this movie, and I would love to see it.

I do not believe in evolution. It is obvious that there is a Creator or we would not have a creation. To believe that it all just came about by chance is preposterous, in my view.

 

The problem is not you or anyone "believes in." The problem is what should be taught in public schools as science. Most of the "Proofs" of ID consist of a misapplication of statistics by people who should know better but prefer to lie to you all.
