eXpelled...

So, I went and saw the movie eXpelled(http://www.expelledthemovie.com/) this last week and I have to say that I was very impressed with the job that Ben Stein has done. The film is a documentary on the Intelligent Design movement and whether it has actually had an appreciation in the University system, or not. Ben Stein's thesis is that people who have hinted at the idea of intelligent design as an intellectual position have been denied tenure, or had their graduate paper revoked, or a whole host of other bullying type tactics from the universities that they work at. The thing that I realized from it is this: That all theists ought to agree on the fact that the scientist owes them an explanation of where everything came from. I realized this in light of a debate that I mediated between two theists, where one was contending that the creation of the world was a literal 7-day creation, and the other was arguing for theistic evolution(evolution that is guided by a supremem mover). The funny thing is...they're both right as far as being completely opposed to a completely scientific answer to the question of the origin of the cosmos. This was illuminated by eXpelled because Ben Stein has A-class intellectuals that are unable to give an answer as to where the earth, and the universe, came from. They suggest that they came from crystals, or Aliens from another planet brought them here...I know, sounds insane huh? Anyways, I recommend the movie and I also would suggest that you pick up the books that were written by both the theists and atheists that were on the movie, because they are all top-notch professors.
