The movie EXPELLED was wonderfully directed. It provides
excellent insight into the theory of Intelligent Design, as well as the
tensions that exist with the self-proclaimed atheistic supporters of
Darwins Theories of Evolution and Natural Selection.
It is a serious documentary that effectively reveals the rejection of
ID in current scientific and academic circles. But more than that, it
takes the viewer through a thought process of where life on earth may
have actually begun. It opens the door to several theories, and
emphasizes that because all are rooted in theory... world view is the
determining factor of what each person embraces as truth.
Those that reject the existence of any God at all... reject the
possibility that there may be a God that is actually Creator, though
they admit that life may have been seeded on the earth by aliens (a
more intelligent life form from somewhere in space).
Those
that embrace the possible existence of a God... present evolution and
natural selection on a smaller scale as possibilities within the
process of the creation of life on earth as we know it. But that there
is one master designer and planner that created all things.
There are other theories and various colors of the two main theories,
but there is a strong force at work (a very iron-fisted force) that
touts Darwinism as absolute fact. Even though the truth of the matter
is that it remains as much or more so theory as the rest. There is no
clear and valid evidence of the origin of life in the field of
scientific study -- not Evolution or Darwin or ID or the Atheistic Camp
offers a defined and sure explanation. It is solely dependent upon what
a person puts their faith in, what they choose to believe is truth.
The humor of this movie is BRILLIANT. While the facts and dialog remain
serious and straight-forward, clips from historic events and old
broadcasts are inserted for emphasis... offering a crazy, random humor
that appeals to a contemporary audience. Very funny.
The
most moving thing for me was the journey and progression of where the
rejection of truth and freedom in the areas of science and academia
lead... every society, every time, if left unchecked. When men can
control and manipulate and intimidate what is truth, there is no
freedom of thought, there is no freedom of expression, there is no
freedom of religion, there is NO FREEDOM. This is the spirit that we
see at work in our nation in this day. This is the world view -- the
sterilization of science that has attempted to sterilize all belief in
God and to sterilize all people that seek to protect and advance a free
society. The sterilization of truth itself.
In the world
today, evolution is the poster child that claims there is no God, no
one is created in the image of God, every soul on earth was a blob and
is destined to return to the nothingness of that blobbie state. Natural
Selection is the excuse for a chosen few to determine who is defined as
the healthiest blob, most desirable, favored to survive, deserving of
life. Therefore, people are of little value unless the powers that be
say they are. Only those that the elite rulers declare are worthy have
a right or need to live at all.
yes, it becomes a slippery
slope to genocide, euthanasia, abortion, sterilization/murder of the
crippled and mentally challenged, young, old, black, white, asian,
Jew...
sounds so far fetched until you look back a
generation to the Nazi death camps, the cleansing of imperfect blobs
from society to create beautiful people in a beautiful society.
Servants of a tyrant, servants of a utopian society.
World
view is the key. We will all serve someone. Creator, Intelligent
Designer, Tyrant, An Elitist Society. Everyone is looking for a heaven.
One designed by God or one designed by men or by a society. But the
truth of the matter is that only one is Right, only one is actually
Truth.
However....
Everyone should have the freedom to choose which one they will serve,
No one has the right to force others to serve the one they choose...
No one has the right to silence/remove the other choices.
All have a right to be heard and to have a voice.
Darwinism is theory. ID is just as much a valid scientific possibility as evolution.
Both have a right to be heard.
Neither should be EXPELLED from scientific thought.
