Expelled: The movie

The Creation / Evolution question is one of my personal favorite points of raucous debate. Though I am no scientist, I have done my share of reading and thinking upon this topic. In my humble opinion, it is one of the most dynamic issues of our day, impacting both religious people, and society as a whole.
The movie Expelled is a provocative explanation of the issue. Fantastic movie, friends. If you have the opportunity to find this one still in your local theatre, go immediately.
Who would have thought that a documentary would make it to the big screen? Has that ever happened before? And a documentary about Intelligent Design!
Intelligent Design doesn't equal creation, by the way. It's just the theory that someone smart caused life on earth. It could be a god, or perhaps an alien. It's an alternative to the spontaneous- primordial-slime theory.
Personally, I am a fundamental, bible believing, young earth, 6 day creationist. Which is tons of fun to mention at parties, as robust conversation, (or a lively brawl), often ensue.
Go see the movie. Tell me what you think!

It's very provocative!
We should resume our Friday evening Dinner-and-a Movie-nights. Whatever happened to those?

For the truth about the movie Expelled, please see http://www.expelledexposed.com/.

To see the missing link between Creationism and Intelligent design, simply Google cdesign proponentsists.

Hi Dave.
Have you considered that evloution at any level requires the addition of new genetic material? This has never been observed.
Rather than what has actually been observed, which is mutation, or a loss of genetic material.
Also, The Theory of Evolution must also be a religion, as it is not observable in a lab. It must therefore, be taken on faith.

Thanks for your input!
