Male - TrinitarianExpelled: What did you think?
I know this is in Natural Sci, but I want it to be somewhere also where we in the body can discuss it, especially those of us skeptical of macroevolutionary theory.
I saw it Friday night. I loved it. I think there was a great touch of humor and Ben Stein is great at bringing one into the story. I felt the great sadness when he talked to the guy who wrote "From Darwin to Hitler" as Ben Stein put his head in his hands hearing about what happened to the Jews. I thoroughly enjoyed his last interview with Richard Dawkins.
I've already told friends to go see Expelled and even my folks. I plan on seeing it again sometime very soon and if we Christians are to see it, it does need to be within the first two weeks. That's the time that a movie is really tested.
So has anyone else seen it?
Anyone?
Anyone?
Anyone?

I would like to see it as well but it is not playing anywhere near me so I will be forced to wait for video?
Do you think that it was merely propaganda or did it raise good points?"Atheism became really possible in that abnormal time; for atheism is abnormality. It is not merely the denial of a dogma. It is the reversal of a subconscious assumption in the soul; the sense that there is a meaning and a direction in the world it sees."
- G K Chesterton

THE WAY OF PURITY - Be set free today
Make your own attitude that of Christ Jesus, who, existing in the form of God, did not consider equality with God as something to be used for His own advantage.
Instead He emptied Himself by assuming the form of a slave, taking on the likeness of men. And when He had come as a man in His external form, He humbled Himself by becoming obedient to the point of death—even to death on a cross.
For this reason God also highly exalted Him and gave Him the name that is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow—of those who are in heaven and on earth and under the earth — and every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. ~ Philippians 2:5-11

I still haven't seen it, but I don't have high hopes at all.

Hopefully it will come to the UK, even if it's only a rental.

I do want to see it, but I also wonder: are the atheists' accusations true: did the makers of the film set up the evolutionists, etc.?

I've seen it. It was pretty good. Pissed off a few folks, that's for sure. I wish they explained a few more things though.

I really don't know, CS. I sort of wondered that as well when I watched it. However, I haven't seen the movie yet, either.

I haven't seen the movie yet, but I want to if for no other reason than it will probably be talked about a lot. It's probably a good idea to keep on top of things like that.
Unfortuantly, I don't know if it is playing anywhere near me. I believe the last time I checked, the closest place it was playing was about an hour away or so."If you are insulted because of the name of Christ, you are blessed, for the Spirit of glory and of God rests on you. If you suffer, it should not be as a murderer or thief or any other kind of criminal, or even as a meddler. However, if you suffer as a Christian, do not be ashamed, but praise God that you bear that name."

From what I heard the guy never even worked for the Smithsonian.
The problem I have with stuff like this in general, and this can be especially true in the Creation Science circles, is that a lot of times these folks omit truth or exaggerate circumstances to push their agenda.
A sin of omission is just as bad as a sin of comission. Then when you on a message board, out comes the reproach for the church and pics of Jesus riding a dinosaur.
