There is a true movie out by Ben Stein called “Expelled”<\/strong> that every Christian needs to support and see. It does not even matter if you already believe in intelligent design. We need to support movies that proclaim truth and allow for the free exchange of ideas in our educational institutions. Christians also need to become fully aware of just how far the public educational system has moved toward a closed minded bully system run by secular humanist control freaks rooted in Darwinian Fascism.<\/p>\n

Only a fool says there is no God<\/a><\/p>\n

Ben Stein starts out talking about the fact that the United States was built on freedom. He quotes the Founding Fathers and juxtaposes the freedom of the United States with the Communist Berlin Wall in Germany. Meanwhile, Pink Floyd is singing about the “crack” in the wall.Carefully, Stein makes the case that the academic community has become as oppressive of freedom as that same community oppressed freedom in Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union. He interviews professor Richard Sternberg, who lost his long-term job at the Smithsonian Institute because he dared to publish a peer-reviewed article with two or three references to intelligent design. The article did not endorse intelligent design, but the very mention of intelligent design brings severe repression from the pseudo-scientific academic community. He then talks to Dr. Caroline Crocker, who lost her professorship at George Mason for having one reference to ID.<\/p>\n

One by one, Stein introduces us to prestigious scientists at major universities who were expelled because they dared to mention intelligent design and open up the academic discussion to non-Darwinian viewpoints. He moves from there to questioning the institutions and the administrators who expelled these academics. The administrators squirm under his interrogation but eventually admit that the academic community has no room for freedom and honest intellectual inquiry.<\/p>\n

Then, he visits France and Germany and shows the Darwinian roots of fascism, taking the audience through the famous mental institution of Germany where hundreds of infirm and mentally ill people were cruelly murdered. What is more frightening is his guide who says she cannot judge the doctor, who headed the institution that disposed of the infirm and the outcasts, and she seems to side with the Darwinian fascists. Ben even takes on Margaret Sanger, Planned Parenthood and the other proponents of eugenics who wanted to rid the world of the races that they thought were inferior.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
