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.
