Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed Trailer (Ben Stein)

tedbater says...

As I don't really feel like putting much time into a videosift comment box...let me just qualify what I'm saying here.

1. Evolution exists, but not on the scale that many modern scientist claim--carbon molecules got lucky and made sludge, which made monkeys, which made me. I don't care if life was given an infinite number of years to develop, this still wouldn't happen. Dr. Behe said it best when he likened the mathematical chances of evolution taking us from carbon molecules to where we are today as the same mathematical probability of a tornado going through any random junkyard and building a functional 747 Jet...even if it did it in stages, it wouldn't matter. Given all the time in the universe, this just would never happen--well neither would evolution on the scale suggested.

2. The Earth is not a few thousand years old. This was an argument made up by Christians in the post-Darwin era to combat "scary" science that they believed threatened the core of their beliefs. Modern Christians who believe in intelligent design agree with any scientist out there about the age of the earth. Where we differ is how it how/why it was all started. We just believe that it is mathematically impossible for evolution to explain the diversity we see today in the millions of years that the earth has existed. Based on the enormous improbability (or impossibility) of that happening, it would seem to take more faith to believe in that than in a divine creator. And this is what I believe is going to be the point of this movie. The Intelligent Design movement isnt' attacking anyone or anything, we're just asking scientist to look at the facts and consider the alternative. And the facts are showing that there is simply not enough time for evolution on the scale suggested.

I don't mean to offend anyone, so let's quit with the name calling.
