expelled... in the context it deserves

Quote:

Anticipating success with their feature film Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed, Producers Mark Mathis, Logan Craft and Walt Ruloff have already leaked a teaser trailer for the film's sequel. Their "teach the controversy" slogan seemed to work well in getting the general public to believe that Intelligent Design is a viable alternative scientific theory to Evolution, so the team has moved on to promoting other theories that they feel are being suppressed by the scientific community.
Sexpelled: No Intercourse Allowed tells of how Sex Theory has thrived unchallenged in the ivory towers of academia, as the explanation for how new babies are created. Proponents of Stork Theory claim that "Big Sex" has been suppressing their claim that babies are delivered by storks.
Furthermore, Stork Theory proponents warn of the serious moral dangers posed by teaching children that sex has a function. They point out that evil dictators such as Hitler, Stalin and Mao all believed in Sex Theory, and they may have even had sex themselves.

Best parody I've seen in a while.

Also, the original, incase you haven't heard of it:

Yeah. I already saw that. Good stuff.

Here's a good resource for this movie:

Who unlocked the basement door?

I am looking very much forward to this movie.

No one should judge the movie (or any moviefor that matter) until it is released (and until they have actually seen it), IMO. I plan on renting it when it is released on DVD.

Yeah, in the past I have judged movies before they were released. Oh well.

I have no clue what all the fuss is about this movie. But I'm looking at that website, and isn't there a difference between Intelligent Design and creationism? Like Intelligent Design is a form of creationism, but not all creationism ideas = Intelligent Design. I mean, I hold evolutionary theory in higher regard than intelligent design, but at the same time I'd consider myself to be a creationist.

Anyway, I don't really care. I'm looking forward to Iron Man and Dark Knight. I go to the movies because I want to take a break from having to think.:)

ID is creationism without the honesty say what it really is. Yeah, there are a lot of forms of creationism. It's hard to really pin down which type of creationism it's trying to promote. It's definitely Christian creationism, but many of the proponents are split between old earth and young earth creationists. It's a mess, really.

If you accept evolution but believe in God you're probably what they'd call a theistic evolutionist.

As for judging the movie before seeing it, I think it's justified. The entire premise is that people are being expelled from "big science" for their beliefs, which is a fabrication. Secondly, one of the main arguments presented in the movie is that Darwinism is responsible for the holocaust. There's nothing to suggest that this movie is anything but a propaganda piece. Furthermore, the consensus of those who have seen it is that it isn't even good propaganda. I suppose that is a good thing, however.
