EXPELLED: No Intelligence Allowed User Reviews

Wow! Finally, someone willing to stand up and call the Darwin-ites on the carpet and expose their blatant attempts to silence freedom of thought, ideas, and challenging the powers that (think they) be.Don't miss the broader point of this movie, folks...your freedom has been compromised. Stand up and be counted.Bravo Ben Stein!

Believers in God say, God did it all.Believers in science say how was it done?The first is a statement of faith (God created life etc)The second is based on a natural curiosity to find out why things are the way they are and not otherwise.Having a conflict over these two ideas is ludicrus. A scientist may say in the beginning, God set up all of the boundy conditions to cause the outcome desired and then pushed the "Big Bang Button. It seems that the people who say God did it all are really saying "God is still tweeking things with his/her cosmic screwdriver and wrench and calling it intelligent design. By the way Pope Benedict says he believes in evolution because there is a great deal of evidence to support it. Is the theory perfect? of course not. Are Newtons laws perfect? no, they are ok for most practical work but need to be corrected with Einsteins laws when we work with high energy particles.

Instead of wasting precious time, money and energy on an attempt to prove their unexplainable "big-bang THEORY", just yourselves this question...why are apes, still apes? I salute Ben Stein for his courage in exposing such NARROW mindedness in those Darwinists who purport such "intelligence". I shall recommend this movie to agnostics, athiests

Well, they did it! They clearly let us see that there is no academic freedom unless it is within the perameters of the establishment. And I realize this just happened in my backyard! The ID people asked the State of Texas to be able to teach at their school and give degrees (like they were doing in CA till moving to Dallas). The committees that visited recommended it highly, etc. The ID people were given only 30 minutes....recruited articulate scientists from the country--and the chairman gave them NOT ONE SECOND and rejected their request! EXPELLED here in TX THIS LAST WEEK! Thank you, producers, for expertly calling attention to this issues. More, more!!!!!

As a scientist who use to be an evolutionist, then rejected evolution after I learned real science simply does not support evolution, yet it is taught as fact to an unwary public, and even worse, to young minds in High schools and colleges. Evolution is a theology for those intellectuals who have rejected God outright. A 1996 Poll revealed that 93% of scientists who are members of the powerful National Academy of Scientists (NAS) are atheists, and their scientific beliefs parrallel their atheistic worldview. Their is no freedom in Academia for God and that policy is strictly enforced. Orwellian methods 'ARE' used by the adherents of Evolution to enforce belief in Evolution. 'Expelled, No Intelligence Allowed' reveals their awful methods of enforcing their athesitic worldview as the only scienctific view allowed to be taught, and believed. This teaching of atheism is backed up by a cynical activistic liberal public media that deem themselves as the ultimate 'gods' in our universe and who are zealous to ensure that we obey and worship only them and their views. And for those who deny there is a strong link between Darwinism and Hitler's Holocaust, just Googol 'Weikart on Darwin-Hitler link'. Ben Stein's movie is right on. See the movie and you will understand the reality of what is going down. Evolution is a philosophy, and not a science.

Awesome Film! Freedom is what this film is about and not the veracity of evolution or ID. It is about the freedom to hold certain beleives that cannot be proven or disproven any more than the existance of God. We do not harass people for their religious beliefs why should the world of scientific academia be any different? If the world of science was allowed to rule supreme, no one would be allowed to hold even religious beliefs let alone suggest an alternative view of creation apart from evolution. Science is not just anti-ID, it is anti-God if left unchecked. The freedom to hold certain beleifs is fundamental to a free society. Freedom does not exist if those with dissenting or unpopular views are not allowed to hold those views.

I could have heard these types of arguments by bringing up the subject anywhere in the country. I should not have had to pay 12 bucks to hear it on screen. 15 minutes worth of that was enough to last me a while. Well, they got my money up front, which is where most con men like to see the money. I think Ben Stein is terrific but this was a let down for me. Make another with Ben Stein pic and I'll go see it too, but next time really do something. Trying to save money in Las Vegas!

After viewing this film and reading the majority of the previous reviews, I feel terrified. As a scientist, this film does great injustice to the scientific method and how it is portrayed. Scientific theories, such as gravity and evolution, have been tested and re-tested hundreds of times through a wide array of subject fields prior to being declared a viable "theory." Intelligent design provides no experimental background and no evidence to support it except the claim that "we are too complex" to have originated naturally and undergo Darwinian evolution. The mere existance of such a film,and the fact that it is opening to such reviews, shows how very little the general public is aware of the current state of science and the scientific method. If ID can create tenable hypothesis that can be experimentally tested and survive peer review, then perhaps we can talk about it being a "legitimate idea."
