Piece of propaganda trash. Read the reviews.
You know it's bad when a movie is described with the words "a blood libel on Western Civilization itself".
Right, yeah. But then again, a lot of the sources calling it propaganda are scientific reviews and institutions who clearly hold the opposite view from what the film's trying to promote, so I was just wondering if anyone had actually seen the thing and could give me an objective opinion.
that would make it the most boring movie ever. Just enough penitration for impregnation purposes. Hey at least it's not catholic porn, staring the alter boy.It's Christian porn, plain and simple.

And who would you trust to review the movie if you wont believe scientists? They're the experts on what people are trying to refute.
PS - Intelligent Design should not be referred to as a theory in any sense. It is not a scientific construction - it only holds counter-arguments and offers no structure of its own. In all reality it would be contained in Evolution as a set of questions/concerns over evidence (even though most of their questions have answers).
I've been following the Expelled mess since they duped the scientists with Crossroads.
If the film actually brought forth evidence of their "theory" instead of constantly criticizing evolution, it may be more than propaganda. Seriously, nothing is presented to support ID throughout the entire film. EVER. It's Christian porn, plain and simple.

The only problem I have with the theory of evolution as a complete answer is the question of origin. I've never really heard a satisfactory explanation for how inorganic matter makes the transition to an organic, living being. From what I've read, the chances of the necessary proteins lining up by accident are pretty astronomical, so that's always bothered me. And if that's the case, then I don't really see a reason to dismiss the possibility that some sort of superior being had a hand in designing and jump-starting that process. Then again however, if somebody could offer me a plausible explanation as to how the inorganic could become organic through chance, I'd be happy to accept it.
So I can go SupersayainWhy do we have the genetic code to produce fully functional tails?

And that's where you trip and fall I'll be "nicer" to you than I am towards people on other forums, however.
Evolution says NOTHING about the origin of life. It never will. That is not evolution's job.
Abiogenesis is where you want to look for the origin of life. For the origin of species (now you know why it's named that), evolution is the scientific theory.
What you are asking is similar to wondering why the theory of gravity can't explain the origin of the universe.
Catch?
Why do we have the ability to make our hair stand on end (goosebumps) when it serves no purpose?
Why do we have the genetic code to produce fully functional tail?
that all comes with training, you need time in the hyperbolic time chamber.
I don't see any reason not to be nice about this. Am I not being nice? Like I said, I would classify myself as an Agnostic at this point, and I'm open to hearing arguments from any perspective.
Honestly, I think you're reading me wrong. I think you're thinking that I'm coming from a very traditional Judeo-Christian perspective on this, and I'm not. I most certainly DO NOT believe in the Genesis creation story, nor do I believe in any way that human beings were fashioned in their current form right off the bat. Like I said, evolution makes a lot of sense to me.
Are there any good resources on abiogenesis that you could point me towards? Like I said, that's one thing that's always bothered me and that I've never had a good solid explanation for, that being the question of how the inorganic can transition into the organic...
I thought it was pretty well established that things like this are evolutionary "left-overs," no? See once again, I think that you think I'm coming from a much different perspective than I truly am. I accept evolution, it's the origin part I have trouble with...
