I just published a post at the Daily Kos about a new film coming out in Spring 2008 Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed claiming that big surprise here Intelligent Design is being pushed out of science and classrooms by big bad science bullies. I posted at Daily Kos on it and posted a tongue-in-cheek poll.
Please go visit and comment! Take the poll!! http://www.dailykos.com/story/2008/1/20/152932/724?new=true Expelled: The Intelligent Design movie Here's a few paragraphs from my post: The whole problem with intelligent design is that its proponents claim it is science, but scientists have banned this new concept from science classrooms and scientific journals. They're suffering some sort of discrimination or something. It's a reasonable enough argument, at first glance, and the premise of the new documentary "Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed." The makers of this film want people to see this movie so badly that they're offering to pay schools and churches $5 per student to see it. What intelligent design proponents - in the movie and elsewhere - don't tell you is that science and scientists do not have PR campaigns. Intelligent design is not well-established, and despite what the film may tell people, it's not being expelled. It doesn't have enough data or studies behind it to be put into textbooks. In fact, it's not even science. Somehow we as a society seem to have forgotten what science even is. This shall not do!
