Ben Stein's New Movie "Expelled" | Intelligent Design Support

I've been lurking around for months and finally decided to join today, so this is my fist post.

My question, is why do things like this bother some so much? Science is science and if it is not then ignore it. Most won't even bat an eye when some one mentions perpetual motion. Why would anything else you consider a myth get your attention? My only conclusion to this is: (a) you are insecure and need to trash something to make yourself feel better about yourself. or (b) you are trying to convince yourself you do not believe in the myth.

If someone calls your mother a wh***, do you just say "I'm secure in my belief that she is not. Your words do not phase me."?

Now, when it's a company making a multi-million dollar movie about it? Would you just ignore it also?

The problem with a movie like this should be obvious. They had respectable scientists appear under false pretenses. The people that made this movie lied, they are misleading the public and they are skewing the truth in order to further their anti-science agenda. No one should still still and let these people get away with misinforming the public.

Also, because directly or indirectly, it's the public who decide whether the funding goes to science or somewhere else.

I just enjoy the laughter i get from all of it.
But i have been told that i have a twisted sense of humor.

Laughter and hypocrites go together like stink and flies

Here is an interesting discussion I stumbled upon. I must say that I'm getting quite a kick out of it.

I've browsed a few of these before. My favorite is this one guy who whenever refuted by someone who uses scientific terms that he then gives Wikipedia links to, replies "You're using Wikipedia for your argument?" as if it made any sort of difference. He's not quoting it as a source, he's using it as a dictionary to explain scientific terms.

I can't remember reading about Darwin saying lightning struck a puddle of mud.

It's a straw man argument. Usually employed by those who have no real objective evidence to support their possition, or with which to refute the opposition.

Watch Expelled with subtitles correcting the lies.

You do know that Landover Baptist is a complete joke, right?

I mean as in, they are doing it for the lulz?

I would be careful when looking at that site. My antivirus software picked up on something and was able to quarantine it.
