Worth Seeing

I will (hopefully) have a Way Back Whensday post for you all later tonight. I am going to get a tutorial on getting pictures from scanner to the blog tonight from Matt, so that I won't be dependent on him from now on. He is working late, so hopefully we will remember and be up for it. I love baby pictures. Until then, make your way over to view Raechel's blog and quench your "adults as babies" viewing desires.

Ok, and the movie worth seeing is Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed. Matt and I stayed up entirely too late watching it last night, but it really is thought provoking. And if you love movies that strike up a converstation, this one is for you. The film is a documentary exposing the fear of evolutionists in allowing free speech in scientific inquiry. Several of the scientists interviewed had lost their jobs, or were asked to resign for even mentioning Intelligent Design in peer reviewed articles or for allowing it to be presented as one theory of the origin of life. Also interesting was the connection between the belief in Darwinian evolution and Hitler's regime. I also was unaware of the American time period where those with genectic disorders or sicknesses, and minority races were strongly encouraged not to have children. Furthermore, from 1907 onward, tens of thousand of Americans were sterilized against their will. This was allowed by the so-called eugenics laws, which encouraged those of "good genetic makeup" to have families but allowed for those of allegedly poor genetic makeup to be prevented from reproducing. Nope, they didn't teach us stuff like this in public school. Seriously astonishing! One interviewee commented that while most evolutionists wouldn't take it this far, a belief in Darwinism is almost a prerequisite for carrying out such atrocities.


Ben Stein declares in the movie that he wants to see a world where “scientists are supposed to be allowed to follow the evidence wherever it may lead, no matter what the implications are. Freedom of inquiry has been greatly compromised, and this is not only anti-American, it’s anti-science. It’s anti-the whole concept of learning.” Amen!

Ken Ham, president of AiG and the Creation Museum, had the following to say about the Expelled documentary: “I urge everyone not to miss Expelled. I found it riveting, eye-opening, even astonishing. Ben Stein does a masterful job of exposing the ruthlessness of evolutionists who will go after anyone who challenges or merely questions Darwinian orthodoxy.

Alright, enough. I didn't intend to write a movie review. But, hope it inspired you to see the film. Let me know what you think!
