A Reaction to EXPELLED: No Intelligence Allowed

            Intelligent Design is a form of creationism and a contemporary adaptation of the traditional teleological argument for the existence of God.  Evolution is any change across successive generations in the heritable characteristics of biological populations.  Creationism is the religious belief that humanity, life, the Earth, and the universe are the creation of a supernatural being, most often referring to the Abrahamic God.  Darwinism is a theory of organic evolution claiming that new species arise and are perpetuated by natural selection.  When looking at these three definitions if makes you wonder what the big debate is all about.  Nowhere in the definition of Evolution does it say the words “create” or “creation” so why are the ideas of Intelligent Design and Creationism so taboo to the concept of Evolution?  However, Darwinism claims that new species “arise”, but how is the question.

            The Movie EXPELLED: No Intelligence Allowed was narrated by none other than Ben Stein; who would have thought his voice really was not that boring.  This company thought that Ben would be a good candidate for this production since he was Jewish and he agreed because he himself did not want to believe that the freedom to teach whatever we wished to teach was being prevented.  Ben opened this documentary by saying, “America wouldn’t be what it is today without freedom.  We are losing freedom in science.”  One of the first people he interviewed was Professor Sternberg.  This man was fired and considered a terrorist for just mentioning Intelligent Design as a fleeting idea in one of his papers.  Crocker was disciplined, fired and then blacklisted for just mentioning Intelligent Design in one of her papers as well.  Egnor was verbally attacked by Darwinists for just doubting Darwinism.  Marks II was punished by the school shutting down his website and projects also after just mentioning Intelligent Design, and finally Gonzalez had his application for tenure denied because he did work with Intelligent Design.  Are you seeing a pattern? I know I am.

            Belinski says, “Darwinism is a room full of elegant smoke.” and Wells explains, “Darwin talks/starts with the origin of species; not how life began.”  If this is the case then why are all of these Darwinians getting upset over the idea of Intelligent Design or creationism?  I can understand if they do not want to grasp the concept of creationism, but is Intelligent Design truly that horrible of a concept.  The other question is why can these four concepts not coexist?  What is so wrong about that?

            A thought that is very concerning is that just one of these concepts without the others can lead to a world like Hitler’s.  Darwinism is actually one of the leading causes of the Nazi regime whether people want to admit it or not.  Just watching listening to this movie you could hear the contradictory in people’s voices.  One gentleman even said that the Christians and the Intelligent Design people could keep their churches if they feel that they need the comfort still, but in the same breath he then proceeded to say that eventually all of the churches will change to Darwinian churches and everyone will have to believe in that.  Talk about contradictory.  We have to fight this battle of there being one scientific explanation of creation and notice that there are many different ways to explain one event.  We definitely have to prevent Darwinism from taking hold most of all though.  If we do not do this then there will be more genocides and those of us with physical and mental illnesses will not exist any longer.
