Expelled, The Irony

Posted on March 21, 2008 by rpg

I really want to just give the link to this and stand back, but some of you will need the background.
Last year the creationists started talking about a film – Expelled. A few people on the anti-ID side (e.g. PZ Myers, Eugenie Scott, and some English guy called Dawkins) had been interviewed, ostensibly for a film about faith and science, but in reality for a feature-length whinge about how evil Darwinists are.
The film is due to come out on the 18th of April, but there have been some pre-screenings. A few of the anti-ID side noticed this, and that it seemed fairly easy to get an invite, and one poor soul had even seen it.
Last night there was a screening in Minnesota, which is where PZ Myers lives. Now read on

    I salute Ben Stein’s honesty in telling us all we need to know: he was a speechwriter for Nixon, of all people. That should make anybody dubious.

    It would be funny if it wasn’t so sad. If creationists didn’t have this knack of shooting themselves in the foot at crucial moments, goodness knows how poerful they’d be now. One shudders to think. Much as I disagree with PZ and Dawkins, I do hope they can milk this for all it’s worth.

    I went for the cell biology angle myself and kept away from the evol/creat perspective.
