"This movie will be a travesty. It will not make money. It will be ridiculed everywhere. This will go down as Ben Stein's folly. Why don't you read a biology book instead of pandering to the right-wing nutjobs?"-Nathan Daniels
"It's (EXPELLED) going to appeal strongly to the religious, the paranoid, the conspiracy theorists, and the ignorant –– which means they're going to draw in about 90% of the American market."
-Atheist blogger and fabulist PZ Myers, on a film he has not yet seen.
Wow! Those are some very interesting quotes. Interesting that the "religious" are thrown right in with the paranoid and ignorant. If I have faith that this world and everything in it was created by God that puts me right up there with nutjobs, paranoid, and the ignorant? Funny, last I checked the "religious" far out number the rest of them.
I have an idea! Let's all go see this movie. It is supposed to open in 1000 theaters. This will surpass Farenheit 9/11,”(debuted on 868 screens) and“An Inconvenient Truth" (opened on four screens despite all the hype, peaking at 587 before it fizzled).
Their website says this about the movie,
"Expelled” calls attention to the plight of highly credentialed scholars who have been forced out of prestigious academic positions because they proposed Intelligent Design as a possible alternative to Charles Darwin’s 150-year-old theories about the origins of life. Instead of entertaining a debate on the merits of competing theories, the scientific establishment has moved to suppress the ID movement in a “systematic and ruthless” way at odds with America’s founding principles, the film asserts.
Liberals have been going ape about “Expelled” for months as it has been screened around the country"

Let's go see the movie. Leave me a comment to let us know what you thought of it.
