Expelled

Yes, I realize the clip juxtaposes Christians and Jews as similar examples of those who believe in God. And, yes, I realize that for many (including myself) YEC is the Biblical position, and in that respect, I.D. is neither saving nor sufficient.

Now that I've hopefully prevented a PB throwdown:

I am very much looking forward to this movie: Expelled

Go to the website and watch the "Super Trailer". Judging from that, it seems to be a top-notch documentary. It will appear in theaters during the spring. Hopefully it can play a significant role in exposing the blatant biases of the scientific-educational-media "establishment" by providing examples of how they have black-balled, black-listed, shunned, disfellowshipped, and silenced those who disagree with conventional story of origins.

And actually, despite holding to a YEC position, I think intelligent design does have its own proper place: Namely, it shows, without revelation, what reason and interaction with the created order was intended to show: Namely, "His eternal power and Godhead." So, it is not sufficient or saving, but it at least shows that nature points to a Creator. Anyhow.

Watch the clip. I'm impressed.
