The Fallacies of "Expelled"

The movie exploits a scientifically illiterate public's ignorance in the further erosion of America's slide into technological obscurity. ID and "creation science" are not science, period. Science has rules. An objective hypothesis is tested and evidence supports a conclusion.

ID and similar religious modalities start with a conclusion and cherry pick the evidence to fit it. That's not science, the rest of the world knows it, still advocates here pretend that it is.

There is no such thing as a "Darwinist" or "Evolutionist" as religious zealots would want you to believe. There are scientists and non-scientists. Scientists MUST be open to all possibilities, including biblical creation. We are. There just is no credible, reproducible, peer-reviewed, hard evidence that the earth was created in six days 6000 years old and in the center of the universe.

If such evidence were found then contrary to Expelled's claim of repression, legitimate evidence would elevate and expand science to new frontiers- it would be the greatest story of all time.

Sadly, the evidence for this does not exist and we have to rely on the brand of legitimate scientific inquiry that brought you technology, doubled your life expectancy, and all the toys from home computers to battleships. Science is good stuff!

However, in 2010 90% of the world's engineers and scientists will be in Asia. We'll be discussing whether we perpetuate the anti-science agenda of a small clade of nervous faithful, as scientific findings do not match their preconceived beliefs.

Expelled Exposed- Transparent Lies by Desperate People

The movie Expelled allegedly preaches the merits of intelligent design, but really just propagates the fraud to the sheep that want to hear it. The movie that made Rush Limbaugh weep is a christian-supremacist, anti-science, non-evidence based attack on those that use reason, reproducible evidence and logic to formulate scientific opinion.

The movie does the usual non-science of starting with a conclusion and working backwards.

The best part is that it further erodes the credibility of the religious right, the people that lie in government and want to lie to children in science class. I'm glad that they put this stuff out there, because they are the only one's that believe their own bullshit. Eventually even the most mindless Americans will see them for the frauds they are. Most people are pretty comfortable with the earth being more than 6000 years old and not in the center of the universe!

Dark Bag = Good Night

When I come home with a black bag it is a signal to my neighbors that the party is at my place- and nobody is invited.

It is either a handle bottle of booze or a stack of dirty magazines. Either way, the opaque plastic bag is like smoke from under the vatican door... some guy is getting busy on the other side and you ain't invited.
