Very interesting. Used the Berlin wall as an analogy of the wall between ID and Evolution. As long as you are on the "right" side of the wall everything is fine, but go to the other side and you're a nut job.

The best moment of the film was where Ben Stein was interviewing Richard Dawkins. Ben asked how did we go from "no-life" to "life". After hemming and hawing around, Dawkins finally said that a more advanced lifeform probably seeded our planet... aliens are more logical than a God? Ben didn't miss a beat and asked how the aliens went from no-life to life.

I looked at some of the anti-expelled websites. Their biggest complaint was the drawing a line from Darwin to Hilter, but the Darwin quotes used and the director of the German mental hospital both made the connection look pretty secure. After all, Hitler was after a master race... that is Darwinian evolution, survival of the fittest.

survival of the fittest is in no way connected to what hitler did survival of the fittest has to do with who can survive the longest not how can kill of an entire race of people.

thats my opinion on what he ment by that

I need to see this movie. I've admired Ben Stein for years; reading his column in American Spectator.

I've learned its not a good idea to argue with stupid people.

They simply drag you down to their level, and then beat you with experience.

do what you want but by your last post you put out there if you can't see it or touch it then it can't be real. seems like i pretty simple observation to me. now if you dont want to argue why are you here seems everybody is to stuiped for you. or is just because we dont agree with you? hum typical far far left.

Better to be stupid than be a fool. The fool has said in his heart there is no God (Psalms 14:1).

Of the 4 "non-sciences" depicted in the cartoon, they can all be tested and debunked by the scientific method.

ID cannot be debunked. The only way to prove there is no God woud be to prove there is a God, but no longer is God... circular logic.

I love the old argument, "I cannot see your brain, I cannot hear your brain, I cannot feel your brain, therefore; you have no brain."

Well said, Roy.

Some infinite entity had to put things in motion. Something cannot come from nothing. I have never heard an evolutionist fully explain how it truly all began other than through non-scientific method rhetoric.
