Ben Stein, the TV personality, writer, actor, lawyer, economist, and speechwriter for Presidents Nixon and Ford has a new film out called Expelled. In it, he talks to various academicians who say they were punished for taking positions doubting Darwin and promoting creationism or Intelligent Design.
The film won’t be released until April, but it’s been setting fires for months. Last year several advocates of the theory of natural selection (including Richard Dawkins, the author of “The God Delusion”) were interviewed. Dawkins thought he was to appear in a documentary called “Crossroads,” from Rampant Films, and only later did it morph into “Expelled,” from Premise Media. I am looking forward to seeing this documentary.

I posted a few weeks ago on this subject, and started quite a lively debate. It was mostly atheists and/or evolution people who commented on how unscientific the “documentary” was, or some just said that Ben Stein (and myself by extension) is an idiot. I expect your feedback may be negative, but I too look forward to the film. My question was whether this was an opportunity to share the gospel if the right doors were opened. The link to the article is below, but it’s not hot. If you click my name above, the Expelled piece is about 4 or 5 posts down.
