Comments on: Expelled The Movie http://academicfreedomblog.org/2008/04/10/expelled-the-movie/ An opportunity to discuss the interface of faith, science, and culture Sun, 20 May 2012 13:33:09 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.2.1 By: onein6billion http://academicfreedomblog.org/2008/04/10/expelled-the-movie/#comment-2468 onein6billion Wed, 02 Jul 2008 03:17:01 +0000 http://academicfreedomblog.org/2008/04/10/expelled-the-movie/#comment-2468 "ID was just watered-down creationism" No, no, no. ID is watered-up creationism. All sorts of undefined sciency terms like irreducible complexity and specified complexity are used to confuse the ignorant into thinking that there is really something there. But there's nothing there except "evolution isn't a perfect explanation, so "intelligent design" must be correct". Well, Expelled has come and gone and the only trace left so far is the creationist legislature and governor of the silly state of Louisiana have passed the silly Disco Tute "teach the controversy" law so that some Louisiana school district can be the subject of another "Dover" lawsuit. “ID was just watered-down creationism”

No, no, no. ID is watered-up creationism. All sorts of undefined sciency terms like irreducible complexity and specified complexity are used to confuse the ignorant into thinking that there is really something there. But there’s nothing there except “evolution isn’t a perfect explanation, so “intelligent design” must be correct”.

Well, Expelled has come and gone and the only trace left so far is the creationist legislature and governor of the silly state of Louisiana have passed the silly Disco Tute “teach the controversy” law so that some Louisiana school district can be the subject of another “Dover” lawsuit.

I was actually pretty impressed Thankfully I was able to go to discovery.org and find the majority of books and articles Stein cites, as there are many and I couldn't take notes in a dark theater. I was able to do some reading for myself. I always thought ID was just watered-down creationism. How wrong I was. Saw the film last night in a nearly-full theater.
