SILVERNAME -> Darwin's Kool-Aid (5/11/2008 6:32:28 AM)

A review of "Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed" (opening in theaters April 18)

By J. Matt Barber

April 7, 2008 (LifeSiteNews.com/CWA) - There's a shakeup in the cult of neo-Darwinist pseudo-science, and that endearing, monotone high school teacher of "Ferris Bueller" fame is doing the shaking.

With his new feature documentary, "Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed" (opening in theaters April 18), Ben Stein - actor, economist, presidential speechwriter and all around really smart guy - squares off with some of the world's most prominent anti-theist elites as he gets to the heart of the question, "Who are we, and how did we get here?"

This is not your father's documentary. "Expelled" rocks the house both literally and figuratively. It's gripping, music-packed, comically wry and always entertaining. But its entertainment value is yet surpassed by its educational merit. Throughout the film, Stein boldly shines a light of honest inquiry, revealing time and again that Evolution's Emperor has no clothes. In his trademark deadpan fashion, Stein skillfully debunks the dogmatic neo-Darwinist programming we've all had relentlessly rammed down our throats ever since "Big Science" went bananas over that cute little Scopes Monkey.

Such idiocy-- there was no "Scopes Monkey."
John Scopes was a teacher in Dayton, Tennessee. In 1925 he was assused of violating state law by teaching the theory of evolution. Scopes was brought to trial, which the press later dubbed the "Scopes Monkey Trial."

Here are serveral facts about the case that seldom see the light of day:
1. John Scopes always maintained that he never actually taught evolution.
2. The text book, from which he was required to teach, featured a chapter on evolution. This was not Scope's fault.
3. The court ruled against John Scopes and fined him while upholding Tennesee's anti-evolution laws.
4. The verdict was later overturned only on the technicality that the judge set the fine instead of the jury!

Guess the "Right" needed a counterpart for Michael Moore. Looks like the universe has again balanced itself.
