Default Re: Expelled - anyone plan to see this documentry?

I haven't seen the movie but from what you are saying it seems that is is proposing that intelligent design is a valid scientific alternative that needs to be examined. I'm not sure that this is so.

For a point of view to be scientific it need to have a basis for a testable hypothesis. All I see is in intelligent design theory is explanations of the complexities of biology that have to be taken on faith. That to me is not science.

Perhaps you could share with us some of the theories presented in the movie to see if they have a scientific grounding.
In order to rally people, governments need enemies. They want us to be afraid, to hate, so we will rally behind them. And if they do not have a real enemy, they will invent one in order to mobilize us.- Thich Nhat Hanh
