Editorial Review: Description: Big science has expelled smart new ideas from the classroom ... What they forgot is that every generation has its Rebel! That rebel, Ben Stein (Ferris Bueller’s Day Off) travels the world on his quest, and learns an awe-inspiring truth … that educators and scientists are being ridiculed, denied tenure and even fired – for the crime of merely believing that there might be evidence of design in nature, and that perhaps life is not just the result of accidental, random chance. To which Ben Says: Enough! And then gets busy. NOBODY messes with Ben. Average Rating:
![]() Rating: - Want to understand how our scientific community behaves and is funded?Insightful piece by Ben Stein, thank you Ben. Details the intolerance any scientific professional (yes, those with real degrees and teaching positions at institutions such as Oxford, Cambridge, Stanford, Cornell and others) experiences who dares question any element of Darwin's theory of evolution - careers trashed and excommunicated from the scientific community. Those who want an open debate and have legitimate questions are simply not tolerated (but wait isn't failing to be tolerant failing ... Read More Rating: - A Terrific Expose of Political Correctness Gone WildThis documentary is a real eye opener. It is informative, shocking, and riveting. Although some think that this is about promoting intelligent design theory or creationism, that is not the case at all. It is really about exposing a repressive academic environment that is more about political correctness and maintaining the status quo than it is about seeking the truth. The 'science' community in academia and elsewhere has become a big kool-aid drinking cult on the issue ... Read More Rating: - Decent point, unbalanced presentationThe film's thesis seems to be that the scientific community should not kill debate surrounding intelligent design. Fair enough. The trouble was that I could not walk away believing that the scientific community is killing debate because the filmmakers did not make their case with any attempt at balance or sobriety. Had this been done, the film may have been a great deal more effective. As it stands, it's simply another voice yelling loudly among others. This did not add to debate or conversation, but ... Read More Rating: - Fallacy and MiscommunicationDarwinian evolution is a scientific theory concerning macroevolution, or speciation. It is NOT a scientific theory on the origin of life, which is what Intelligent Design is supposedly addressing. In other words, I.D. is a hypotheis about The Beginning, and Evolution is a scientific theory about what happens after Origin. Therefore, the documentary is really comparing apples and oranges, and looses all credibility and relevance! This is a very important point for those not familiar with the controversy. ... Read More Rating: - Truth in media format!This is a great film! It clearly shows the agenda behind many scientists in academia. It helps if you have some experience studying the debate between ID and Darwinism. Also, I think the average viewer would benefit if they understood how significant the people being interviewed are. These aren't just loonies off the street, these are well respected "scientists." It would be great is they included some interviews with people on the street that shows the average person's ignorance of the matter and ... Read More Browse for similar items by category:
