Review of Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed (2008) by Evgenia F — 01 Jan 2009

Besides linking Nazism with evolutionary theory, this film might be a bit more balanced than other films on the subject âScience against Religionâ.At least this guy is arguing for academic freedom.

I was pretty uncomfortable for the first half of the film but eventually warmed up to it. First of all it had the same flaws that similar films, like the Root of all Evil and Religulous, have. They is a lot of throwing opinions around but no evidence. It is obvious that both sides have very strong feelings about their position, but what do feelings have to do with anything? At least in science⦠Oh yes, there is this little fact that science has always been part of something else and has always been biased. I canât help but point out that these guys think religion and science exist in a vacuum and do not take into account the historical and political context of anything (which is the only thing anthropology is good for). For the last time, we are all biased, scientists included and no matter how opinionated one is, if I donât see some evidence that will allow me to draw my own conclusions, both sides have lost me.
