The pro-creationist documentary Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed, focuses not so much on the refutation of Darwinism, but on the suppression of the academic freedom of anyone who dissents from Darwinism. This is a brilliant coup de main, which uses the weapon of the enemy, and another example of how liberal bias really is not interested in diversity and pluralism at all. The Darwinist’s don’t know what to do when academic freedom is used against their secularist dogmas. This is from Jill Stanek of WorldNetDaily:

On March 20, two Darwinian defenders, who accepted payment to talk like buffoons on the film, tried to bust into a private screening in Minnesota.

“PZ” Myers, a University of Minnesota biology professor and proprietor of the popular atheist blog Pharyngula, was quickly expelled, much as he condones expelling professors who deviate from the monkey line, as he wrote on The Panda’s Thumb blog:

The only appropriate responses [to Intelligent Design proponents] should involve some form of righteous fury, much butt-kicking, and the public firing and humiliation of some teachers, many school board members, and vast numbers of sleazy far-right politicians.” ~ Comment #35130, PZ Myers, June 14, 2005

Richard Dawkins, an evolutionary biologist at Oxford who wrote the book “The God Delusion,” gained entry only by foregoing his evolved surname for the formal, Clinton.

Myers then disrupted an “Expelled” conference call with reporters the next day.

These uncivilized spectacles caused a liberal mass meltdown. According to an “Expelled” press release, the “Expelled” controversy held the No. 1 slot in the blogosphere all day March 24, as registered by Nielson’s BlogPulse, and garnered over 800 Technorati results.

If we are seeing this meltdown on the left even before “Expelled” officially opens, expect a Big Bang on April 18.

Hurray!

I saw Expelled this afternoon and it was great. A breath of fresh air. An interesting use of both music and images helped drive home the most salient points of Intelligent Design. I had no idea there were so many hurtful yet intelligent people. I also hadn’t recognized the similarities of Darwinism and Nazism. At one point in the movie a professor was interviewed (with Dachau as the setting) as saying that Hitler most likely thought he was doing humanity a favor by advancing darwinistic evolution and culling the week.

Anyway, only a few images to worry about for the kids and they are historic pictures of man’s inhumanity to man. I recommend to all. I will most certainly add it to my library. I look forward to reviewing the source information to better view the big picture. One thing that did stand out was that for the first 20 minutes waiting for the movie to start I was inundated with “Go Green” infomercials produced by the Alliance for Climate Protection. I can’t help wondering if weird Al and his eco-guilt-pimps put the full court press on just this movie or if everyone gets to sit through ecological self-examination before their movie. Oh well, GO GREEN!
