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.

By the way, at one point in the clip it shows the Michelangelo painting of Adam and God touching fingers. The bar at the bottom doesn't show elapsed time, so I don't know exactly when it is. Just a head's up, because I know that for most of us that is a violation of the 2nd Commandment.

Judging by the blog I think it is also going to 'expose' a lot of anger and hostility aimed at those who are trying to 'destroy' science and force their dogmatic religion down our throats.

I don't like being "that guy". Hahaha. Maybe I'll start a few E.P. threads and a political throwdown while I'm at it.

Mea culpa.

OK; I'll bite. I figured out I.D. means intelligent design.

But, pray tell, what are YEC and PB?

Like many busy people, if I read a promo and cannot fathom a thing because of cute abbreviations, or terms that are not in my online dictionary, I don't click on the link to figure them out. I ignore them and go on.

OK, now that I know what this is about, I'll just say I'm a YEC'er too, and decline to be drawn into any debates over creation. It's just not my calling. Sorry.

Haig, what debate? God created all there is in six literal 24 hour days. Theistic evolution is a lie and Darwinism is a religion.

Next!

Going tomorrow eve to see it with a good friend and our eldest daughters.

You should see the way that it is making movie critics spit and squeal in their pre-release screenings, their liberal presuppositions are really coming to the fore.
