Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed

Wednesday night a whole bunch of us went to the theater and watched the movie Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed. I'm still tired from it (especially from working hard all day today), so I am definitely not going to say everything I had planned on saying. Besides, I forgot about my notebook to take notes with in the theater. Yes, I was going to take notes in the dark. Sue me.

From the very beginning, it was absolutely entertaining and well thought out, asking the hard questions and not receiving any answers from those who hold to the evolutionary theory.

Coming from a God-believing perspective, in some cases I was not surprised with some of the things these "atheist" scientists were saying. What did surprise me, however, was their new theory on how the universe began:

Apparently, they believe that a higher life form - intelligent aliens, if you will - "planted" us here on earth. And yet they do not believe in intelligent design. Um, what? Where are they coming from, then? Who planted the aliens, I'd like to know?

I couldn't help but roll my eyes! I'm sorry, but their theories are clearly not scientific. At least not the science I know, which is logical and factual and absolutely not mythological. I expected some of these "scientists" in this movie to start yammering on about the Easter bunny...talking about living in Happy Happy Land with Easy Easy Fun Time. Evolution as it is defined by those who follow Charles Darwin's beliefs is more of a myth and a faith (it takes a whole lot of faith to believe in what they believe in) than it is based on scientific fact.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought something had to be proven beyond all reasonable doubt before it was considered a scientific "law" taken for granted in textbooks and the education of the next generation! This is how a hypothesis becomes a scientific law:

1-Observation - you see something, you want to find out about it. So you study it.
2-Analysis - after observation you find out how it works, why it does, etc.
3-Experiment - you see if your analysis is correct with a whole bunch of tests, and usually more observation and study.
4-Theory - you form a solid view of the subject.
5-Law - if your theory is infallible by science's standards, it becomes a Law, therefore being taken as a new fact for us kids to learn in school. (yay.)

So why were many of these steps not taken when it came to the theory of evolution? They just blindly accepted it - scientists put their hands over their eyes in order to miss the obvious flaws that have been there from the beginning (and are being added to continuously - seriously! I think it's about time the evolutionary theory was put to rest!)

Again, coming from the perspective that I do, I know the reason why evolution was accepted so swiftly. It is the sinful nature of man to accept anything that is anti-God. If we can find some other story to believe, something that takes God out of the picture, we're all for it.

Thank God (YES!) for those scientists who, even if they didn't believe in the God I believe in, still dared to question the monstrous idol that evolution has become. Thank God for Ben Stein, who dared to stand up and force people to question what has for so long been taken as fact. I am definitely going to watch this movie again. It is something worth watching until the DVD flakes away.

Maybe one day evolution will be placed where it belongs: outside of scientific fact. Maybe into "religious studies". Or "Theories from Happy Happy Land".

But seriously. Aliens?
