Expelled Exposed!
One thing that can be said for creationists is that they are persistent, and this is true for both openly-religious creationists and for their intelligent design brethren. "Intelligent design" advocates have contributed nothing of real value in the way of peer-reviewed published research, and their popular writings have been dissected and thoroughly refuted by a broad spectrum of scientists, philosophers, and even theologians.
Once again spurning any real effort to actually do science, IDs latest venture is Ben Stein's pseudo-documentary "Expelled". It has received many scathing reviews, even from conservative outlets like Fox News, whose reviewer Roger Friedman said:
"Expelled" is a sloppy, all-over-the-place, poorly made (and not just a little boring) "expose" of the scientific community. It’s not very exciting. But it does show that Stein, who’s carved out a career selling eye drops in commercials and amusing us on sitcoms, is either completely nuts or so avaricious that he’s abandoned all good sense to make a buck.The NCSE has rounded up some of the most penetrating and authoritative critiques on their new site Expelled Exposed. The tag line "Flunked, not Expelled: What Ben Stein isn't telling you about Intelligent Design." is very apt. We urge all our readers to check out this site!
