Review of Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed (2008) by Stevenn. — 19 Apr 2008

Despite what the critics said this movie brought to light an important debate and insight into the world of American Science. However, the movie is far from perfect, and I feel the DVD will probably include more of each interview and more depth on the all the subjects touched in the movie.

Ben Stein follows the story as an independent thinker just trying to find the answer to what is Intelligent Design and why ID is being blacklisted from the scientific debate. What the Mr Stein discovers is that ID is not creationism, but the simple admission that when you look at the design of life, and the evidence of evolution there must be something more to explain life than chance.

There must be a sort of intelligence within the creation of life. Granted there is no means to test this theory, but what this movie exposes is that the Theory of Evolution has no explanation of the origin of life either.

..and their personal exotic theories can not be tested and rely on as much faith as it does science. But, moving from the discussion of ID and Evolution this movie brings to light the organized nature of the scientific community and the means in which it can and DOES lock up actual scientific debate on controversial or politically incorrect theories/discussion.

Although the movie does not go into the discussion of Global Climate Change the same type tactics of firing and blacklisting scientists that do not follow the consensus.
