Opening
| Quote | Ben Stein's new movie "Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed" opens this weekend in theaters. It explores the widespread persecution -- destruction of livelihoods, careers and reputations -- of scientists who doubt Darwin's theory of evolution and think intelligence is needed to explain life's origin and development.

Project much there Billy-billy? YOU destroyed your career Bill. Right when you stopped asking honest questions and you flipped the script. you know what I am talking about.
| Quote | | Who likes it? People who think God may have had something to do with our being here and therefore find it reasonable that God may have left tangible evidence of His involvement in creation. |
I agree that this is largely true. Well, mooney and nisbet are stupid fucks, I won't even grant them appeaser status. Suck the Expelled. But the rest of the positive reviews are pretty much YECs and 'culture warriors'. And we have multiple lines of independent evidence suggesting that this group is much more stupid and dishonest than your average Amurrikan. So Bill, you just left out that the positives are exactly who we would expect them to be, the 2 people that post at your blog for real and people who think Rush and Bill are objective. Got it.
| Quote | | Who hates it? A science, education and media elite who prefer that God had nothing to do with it and think that nature must do all its own creating. |
Really? Who hates it? The elite. Also, the elite believes in this extra stuff, because they are the elite. Since you have called yourself both a philosopher and a Christian, our Explanatory Filter will not allow us to declare you an inveterate liar, nor an apostate impostoring heathern. nope, the output in this usage of bits and the bayesian sort of thing is that YOU ARE TOO STUPID AND DISHONEST TO EITHER NOTICE OR CARE THAT YOU ARE JUST MAKING SHIT UP. That's all.
| Quote | | Who's right? That's the wrong question. Anyone who has studied the history of science knows about "the pessimistic induction." The pessimistic induction says that all scientific theories of the past have to varying degrees been wrong and required modification (some were so wrong that they had to be abandoned outright). No scientific theory is written in stone. No scientific theory should be venerated. Every scientific theory should now and again be subjected to severe scrutiny. This is healthy for science. |
Hmmm. Sneaky. I like it Bill, it shows agency, young Prince. Let's see.
Who's right is the wrong question? If I hadn't been doing this for a while, I would have already imploded here. WTF
The pussy-mystic induction is not applied to the scientific theory of ID, I see. When we will learn what ID theorists [snicker] have learned by putting this ahem theory under sever scrutiny?
ah hell anyone who has studied the history of science has already written this bull shit off as the ahistorical garbage that it really is. Christ Billy are you listening to the same game as everyone else? you are cheering during time out.
jesus. you know when you have diarrhea and it just keeps going?
| Quote | | Our intellectual elite have insulated Darwinian evolution from scientific scrutiny. Moreover, they have institutionalized intolerance to any criticism of it. Expelled documents this institutionalized intolerance and thereby unmasks the hypocrisy of an intellectual class that pretends to value freedom of thought and expression, but undercuts it whenever it conflicts with their deeply held secular ideals. |
Bloody stool. let's see.
| Quote | | Our intellectual elite have exposed Darwinian evolution to scientific scrutiny for over 150 years |
That's damn near as parsimonious (you do the math, i suggest a bayesian sort of thing). Maybe he just forgot the right words there. I'll give him a pass.
| Quote | | Moreover, they have institutionalized the practice of science even as the Visigoths petition Rome for a free pass. |
Hold on. Deeply held secular ideals? Are you kidding me? This is what passes for substantive discussion with this stupidly confused lying douchebag.
Lard this one is a good hit. Hold it in!!!!01010!!
| Quote | | Expelled also suggests away forward in the debate over biological origins. The most surprising thing viewers learn from watching the film is the flimsiness of the scientific evidence for thinking life can be explained apart from a designing intelligence -- the other side's rhetoric notwithstanding |
Expelled offers this message brought to you by the DI, who would know all about it: Teach stupidity and shitty critical thinking in science class to show deference to a narrow sectarian religious view, and sue your school board when confronted. Contact the DI, and wait for advice. Do not drop the case, it is very likely that you should drive all the way into the wall so that we can show that the system is rigged against Believers in Yeshua and they are Expelling in teh courts.
| Quote | | Come again? Take some organic chemicals, slow cook them, give enough time, and out pops life? This isn't a scientific theory. This is an article of speculative faith. |
awesome, doctor doctor herr doktor. you can't make that kinda shit up. wait. no, you can. i can't though, I have ethics. Hey, whatever floats your little old piddly boat dude.
| Quote | | In Expelled, Stein interviews atheistic scientist after atheistic scientist, and they all admit that they haven't a clue how life arose. There is no materialistic theory of life's origin, and anyone who suggests otherwise is bluffing. |
those athiests are so stupid. wow. they reject teh bible. by definition there can be no materialistic theory of life's origin since they reject teh bible. oh yeah and all materialists are atheists. hmm.
| Quote | | Or, as Kuhn puts it, a new scientific paradigm (in this case Intelligent Design) succeeds on the graves of the old guard. Don't expect the scientific community and intellectual elites to turn to Intelligent Design in response to this film. If anything, expect a backlash |
well there herr doctor we would expect to see the empirical improvements in the prediction of the relationships and properties of entities and processes that is gained by accepting whatever version of Intelligent Design you are preaching today. Since your ontological claims are bunk, it's hard to take your instrumental claims. is hardy-weinberg equilibrium a function of design? is deviation from it PROOF OF ORO-GINAL SIN?
| Quote | | The unwashed masses, in which I place myself, will love the film. |
Sadly, evo-mats, selective hyperskepticism, merits. Sadly, mostly.
Ahh fuck it. I give up. almost there too.
| Quote | | In creating conceptual space for Intelligent Design, Stein, and not the dogmatic defenders of Darwin, champions true freedom of thought and expression. |
hmm. in stealing intellectual property, misrepresenting science, whoring out propositional logic to the most godly bidder and squatting anywhere that Jo Shmo points out that this is possibly the stupidest idea ever, Stein represents the essence of Intelligent Design Creationism.
