Bill Stein's documentary "Expelled," had critics up in arms, as his thoughtful exposure of the attacks by Darwinists upon creationists because of their belief in "intelligent design" being exposed.
The film is already one of the top documentaries ever, just after the first weekend, where it averaged $2,997 per venue. While it ended up in the No. 10 spot for the weekend box office, it was fifth as far as average taken in per theater.
What the film does overall is show the bias and attacks upon supporters and scientists backing intelligent design who have been wrongfully "'expelled' -- fired, shunned or ridiculed (or all three) -- from institutions for their beliefs."
Ben Stein interviews these victims throughout the documentary.
One writer describes the film this way: "The film opens with documentary footage of the Berlin Wall going up and closes with it coming down. The day Darwinism and Intelligent Design can be fairly discussed without fear of reprisal represents the removal of a barrier even greater than the Berlin Wall. When future intellectual historians describe the key events that led to the fall of 'Darwin's Wall,' Ben Stein's Expelled will top the list."
It's funny watching all the detractors call for ignoring the film while castigating it in their writings at the same time. I guess it sure stirred up those who thought they had a blackout on the subject and conversation.

A Generic Review of Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed by an Atheist
Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed is a fitting name for a movie that is stupid. In fact, anyone that believes in creationism is stupid and does not know anything about science. Apparently, this long list of stupid people includes B-level celebrity Ben Stein, who we remind you, was a former speech writer of Richard Nixon. This means that Ben Stein is evil as well as a stupid creationist.








I guessed that Bill Steina the good abrupt guy, but what up to such degree it for me news!
