Movie Reviews of Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed
Movie Review: Bullseye, Ben!
Summary: 5 Stars
Cha-ching! (The sound of money being made in the course of performing a valuable public service.)
I spent many years in academics, and I concur with Mr. Stein that the 'ideal' university (where diverse ideas are tolerated and explored), is nearly extinct. One of the foundational notions of tenure is that Professors may argue for various positions, regardless of widespread acceptability, without fear of losing their jobs. Intellectual freedom is supposed to be one of the university's foundational values. Instead, several liberally-biased dogmas tend to reign on most university campuses, and it is extremely politically incorrect to question them. It can easily cost you your job.
Mr. Stein gives several examples and interviews with scientists/scholars who were 'Expelled' precisely because they had the audacity to question the current paradigm of evolution. In this documentary, Mr. Stein focuses upon a group of scientists who support the biological notion of 'Intelligent Design' (ID).
But ID is just one example; there are many such off-limits topics in the academy, including race, gender, religion, and climate. Instead of open discussion and debate, the strategy of the NeoDarwinism crowd is to ignore and suppress the ideas of anyone who does not 'bow at the altar of Darwin' before publishing or presenting their work. It is comical! So much so, it has become a game for me to find the statement in editorials and scientific papers that 'inoculates' the author from being 'quoted by creationists' or criticized by NeoDarwinists. Try it for yourself, and see if you don't agree with me. The next time you read something regarding a Biology topic, look for the 'bowing' comment or statement. It is usually in the first paragraph.
Congratulations to Mr. Stein for:
a) Being clever and perceptive enough to recognize what was going on (academic intolerance of an opposing point of view);
b) Demonstrating his entrepreneurial prowess while exposing intellectual dishonesty and violations of academic freedom (Mr. Stein is clearly brilliant, and he understands capitalism);
c) Giving Richard Dawkins enough rope to hang himself (his interview with "fundamentalist Darwinist" Richard Dawkins is priceless!)
d) Bringing attention to a scientific matter that has been infected by politics; exposing this problem could actually end up effecting the progress of science in a meaningful way.
AND... all the while...
e) Being witty and entertaining.
Congratulations, and best regards, Ben Stein!
Summary of Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed
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.Comedy DVD Video
