If you haven't seen it, you must.
If it isn't playing in your neighborhood, drive thirty miles to a neighborhood where it is playing (we did).
Odds are you will have to travel some distance, because, as is the case with most non-politically-correct films, it will not receive wide distribution.
'Expelled' speaks candidly and courageously about the widespread, but covert, censorship that is occurring in the American scientific community on many levels and in many areas of science. It illustrates with painful candor the persecution of academics and scientists who dare to suggest that the theory of Intelligent Design deserves debate (a persecution that strangely parallels the censorship that is occuring against those scientists who dare to speak out against the doctrine of global warming).
Darwinists are succeeding in stifling debate, and they are ending the careers of scientists and academics who dare to even whisper that a theory might exist other than Darwin's origin-of-the-species-based theory of evolution.
The film also paints a gloomy, but entirely realistic, picture of the future of America if we allow politically correct censorship in scientific disciplines to continue, drawing stark parallels between Hitler's embracing of Darwinist theories and the subjugation, death and tyranny that resulted.
Our audience tonight -- including dozens of teenagers -- was small, but mesmerized, and nearly all were standing in applause at the finish.

Our daughter (15) saw it with some friends on Friday night. They were very impressed especially with the scenes at the Holocaust locations. My husband and I plan to see it this week.
I read some reviews that panned the movie and I figured it was because of the politically incorrect content, now I KNOW so. The wife and I will see it this weekend. Thanks.
Sounds like a movie worth seeing. I'll try to hunt it out. Thanks for the heads up.
I never even heard of this movie, and after reading what you wrote I'm not surprised. I'll try to see it before it dies the unnatural death that most convervative documentaries die, thanks to the bias in the industry.
I'll be checking the newspaper when I get home. If I can see it, I will. Thanks Joanie.

I'll see it. The global warming idiots are promoting the idea that humans are to blame just to increase the government's power. The Darwinists are promoting his beliefs to get God out of American society. I can't think of two more destructive campaigns. It's sickening and very very dangerous.
Not much has changed. During my freshman year of college (1964), I had to write an essay on the subject of creationism vs. darwinism in English class. I quoted heavily from a book called "Science Returns to God".
The instructor sneeringly read my essay in front of the whole class in an attempt to embarrass me for my beliefs.
I haven't seen the movie.
But I know Ben Stein wrote a vicious article attacking comedian Joan Rivers less than a week after her husband had committed suicide.
She sued him, and he ended up settled out of court, and then writing an article whining about how mean she was to him.
What a man.
What a man.
Sometimes a man of questionable character can produce a powerful work of art. It doesn't lessen the quality of the art or increase the character of the man.

Very true and well said!
I plan to see it Friday night. I'll have to travel about 35 miles, but it looks like it'll be worth the trip. I'll get back to you on my opinion. ;)
We drove to Lititz to see it a couple of days ago. It was our first time in the new complex and we were very impressed.
As to the movie, we shared the entire theater with one other couple. It was a matinee, but still......
We liked the movie, perhaps because we agree with most of it. I would recommend it to anyone who wishes to be informed on these issues and I really like Ben Stein. What a character!!
