Expelled: No Intelligence allowed is directed by Nathan Frankowski, and has been written by Kevin Miller, Ben Stein, and Walt Ruloff, it stars Ben Stein, and was released in the year 2008. It is basically an independent documentary film, which says that the mainstream science establishment controls academics who say that they can find evidence of intelligent design in nature,
who criticize the evolution evidence, and who think that the modern evolutionary synthesis is just a conspiracy to make sure God stays out of the classrooms and science laboratories. The documentary portrays the theory of evolution as contributing to abortion, fascism, communism, atheism, eugenics, and the Nazi Holocaust. It basically states that the intelligent design is not motivated by religion; rather it is motivated by science, though there is not much scientific explanation involved. Watch the documentary because it’s controversial and satirical. Ben Stein provides the narration throughout, and visits many universities to interview people who make claims about intelligent design and also evolutionary scientists. The film talks about some scientific hypothesis about the origin of life, and there is also a short bit of animation about the inner workings of the cell – this introduces the intelligent concept design of irreducible complexity, which basically claims that complexity cannot arise from spontaneous mutations. One of the intelligent design proponents who are shown in the documentary is David Berlinski, he claims that the Nazis were influenced by Darwinism. The documentary deals with the subject of intelligent design from a political point of view, rather than a scientific one, and that is why the concept is only touched superficially. |
