Review of Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed (2008) by Dave L — 03 Sep 2009

I was fascinated by the topic and found the movie to be very interesting. As a geneticist and expert on the induction of mutations in mammals by radiation and chemicals, I think that Darwinian evolutions falls far short of explaining how life developed.

Thus, this movie hits the nail on the head in pointing out a severe flaw in the bias given to this old explanation by our schools and society. Just because someone thinks that Darwinian evolution is not the answer does not mean that he/she thinks that God created the world in 6 24-hour days.

Of course, mutation and natural selection are important processes. They are undoubtedly important in adding to the plasticity of all species. However, they explain only a small part of the real mystery of life.
