The great debate between creative intelligence (code work for preplanned world) and Darwinism (unplanned world governed by environment) seems to really come down in this film to a test question: who created the first molecule? It’s a good question since molecules are the building blocks of all life on earth and so far as we know all molecules are created by other molecules so who ever or whatever created the first molecule created life on earth: call that man GOD. So let’s make GOD an acronym for Good Overall Designer. Now the debate is simpler. Whoever or whatever created the first molecule is a GOD. Well is would appear we are getting close to finding out who that is as we know each of the following is distinguished from naturally-occurring DNA or RNA by changes to the backbone of the molecule: Artificial nucleic acids include peptide nucleic acid (PNA), Morpholino and locked nucleic acid (LNA), as well as glycol nucleic acid (GNA) and threose nucleic acid (TNA). May I humbly suggest that we follow all great scientists and look for GOD in the laboratories? This movie creates a sort of Mike Moore fake controversy and then resolves it with anecdotal evidence rather than any sensible analysis of the scientific datum. This sort of pseudo science is probably good for Mr Stein’s pocket book but it does little to add to the body of available knowledge and, by taking an adversarial rather than analytical approach, exacerbates the debate oddly enough just as Mr Hitler did seventy years ago. Poor or Charles Darwin gets a bad rap. All Charles wanted to do was figure out how earthworms worked. He knew his theory was far from complete. He came unstuck on the hermaphroditic flora reproduction and was candid about it. Charles wasn’t against GOD the acronym or the spiritual leader he was living in a time when the understanding of cellular structure was just beginning and he posited based on simplistic evidence. This movie is intellectually misleading, I am tempted to say dishonest…. But it is perfectly possible to have an honest if entirely fallible credo so I will give Mr Stein the benefit of the doubt. Literally a GOD-awful movie.

It's about time someone broke the silence on this issue. I know I am sick and tired of arrogant "scientists" who impose their worldview on their science and then try to indoctrinate the world with their propaganda with no tolerance for other scientific worldviews.

Random creationist bullshit. All the cases he brings up have been proven to be about stuff that had nothing to do with intelligent design.

It is important to ask "Why are there so many roadblocks to investigating the possibility of Intelligent Design? " What happened to freedom of speech and freedom of inquiry? I hope that this will inspire people to fight for their right to look into things and draw their own conclusions rather than having to follow "what someone else says is fact without any evidence of it actually being factual". No one can answer "How did the world begin? " So, why not look into it? Let science tell us!

Evolution is a theory not a fact, ("Theory" of Evolution). Intelligent Design is a theory. There is no "Fact of Evolution" or Fact of Intelligent Design and as far as I know, no one has proven that God sits on a throne in the sky and judges mankind. Atheists and Darwinians will likely feel threatened by this documentary because it challenges their point of view. In my opinion there is too much narrow mindedness in the conventional scientific community. I have yet to see anything but theories and NONE of the theories have ever explained the creation of life. Until there are legitimate FACTS in place by either side that explain the creation of life, I will continue to ponder both sides and give both sides their right to be heard.

I thought this was an excellent documentary. I believe that more dialogue and collaboration is needed between science and ID. I don't see that anyone has figured out how we were created, not even Darwin and until then, why are all theories not acceptable? Why are ID theories disregarded as garbage? I don't put ID in the same category as religion at all or even in the same category as creationism. Dogmatic atheists are every bit as narrow minded as dogmatic creationists or IDers. Let's have some open mindedness. We are all looking for the truth so why are some theories discredited? What is the scientific community afraid of?

Infantile churlish anti-intellectual neolithic muddle-headed featherweight knuckle-dragging baloney. Can't wait for Ben Stein's hard hitting expose of... what? The "Smoking Kills" liberal egghead con-job? The gobal climate change tree-huggers? The "Earth is not flat" nut cases? Ben must get awfully tired carrying that really really gigantic brain around.

Few people will come away from this movie indifferent. It will be particularly frustrating to haters of Christianity (including the delusional author of the egregious hate-message/review posted below which alleges that "tens of millions" of Christians were directly complicit in the holocaust) that Ben Stein and most of the other people involved in making this film were in fact Jewish. The film's message is presented in a clear and factual way, but humour is used well to moderate its "tone". You may not agree with Stein's concerns about Darwinism and the efforts of those who espouse it to limit the scope of scientific debate and investigation, but you may still benefit from the increasingly-rare experience of listening to views and arguments that are not politically correct.

This is a very good film, I learned things that I did not have any clue of before. The evolution lie should be shattered and the intelligent design be taught instead. If everything were by chance then even our thoughts would be by chance and we could not be right or wrong about anything. But the opposite is true and there is a intelligence behind it all, we have intelligence, did that come by chance or a creator? Obviously it did not come by chance. If everything was by chance then there would be no laws science, morals, right or wrong, or any truth at all in anything. Which would be utterly ridiculous. I also like how hawkins was shown his contradiction in the film.

This movie should be shown in every school and university around the world. This isn't about religion. This is all about science. True science has always shown that the Darwinian theory is just that, a faith based theory. Nothing more. Scrape away the deception, assumptions and fairy tales and you end up with dust that falls between your fingers.

Those here who are praising this laughable bit of crap for the hard of thinking need to understand that open-minded requires that there be a mind available. Censorship is a bad thing - proponents of creationism aren't being censored. They are being laughed out of the room by thinking folks that insist on maintaining a reasonable distance between church and state.

This is an excellent movie. It opened up my thinking. It is a movie that I truly believe everyone should see. It challenges the way we think. It exposes that we don't know the whole truth about everything. It stirred deep emotion in me because I felt that I am being manipulated in a way that doesn't allow meaningful dialogue about these important issues.

Terrible movie. It seems odd to me that people are trying to poke holes in the 'theory' (fact, I say) of evolution. The religious argument is that everything we see/touch/taste/feel was created by some cosmic magician up in the sky who has built an infinite universe simply to test humans of earth as to their wothiness of having an afterlife. Hmmm... can't poke ANY holes in that...

Well, I just came back from the movie and I totally agree with some other folks who think that it should be viewed in Hight Schools and Universities. We must have "freedom" of thought. How can Intelligent Design not be allowed in our teaching institutions?

This is the kind of movie where people will respond according to their worldview. If you've got an atheistic or Darwinian perspective (which tend to go hand-in-hand), you're only going to see this movie as threatening propaganda for a point of view you despise. If you're anyone else, you may be surprised to discover that some of the assumptions you may have held about the good health of scientific freedom-of-inquiry in America are in serious error. In fact, quite a few of the negative reviews here strongly echo the vociferous response any questions of the Evolutionary Theory receive from some of the scientific elite in the documentary. As you can see by these angry reviews (and as you can see in the documentary), there is a blind and often presumptuous allegiance to this theory that will countenance no challenge - which is precisely what the documentary criticizes. In their own way, every review here opposing the documentary is as "propagandist" as they accuse Ben Stein of being. Watch it for yourself and make up your own mind.

[ATTENTION: This review reveals content of the movie.]
The movie is wrong on almost every charge. The "victims" they put forward are not victims of an evil "Darwinist" conspiracy. Their real stories are much more mundane. Leaving aside the questions concerning the honesty of the film-makers during production, the very substance of the movie - that "Darwinism" leads to an evil end - is absurd. The Theory of Evolution (theory being defined in it's scientific sense: as an explanation of observed natural phenomena and known fact) explains the diversity of life. Nothing more, nothing less. It does not comment on the origin of life (that's be abiogenesis, although to be fair, ToE might play a role in that as well) It does not comment on the origin of the unverse (that's be Big Bang Theory) It does not comment on gravity (that's be General Relativity) Despite this, Stein claims (in this movie and in interviews) that this represents a major shortcoming of ToE. Intelligent Design, on the other hand, attempts to cover everything by saying "Magik Man done it". BUT THIS IS NOT AN EXPLANATION! Science is concerned with how and why. Saying "it looks complicated, God must've done it" (and yes, I am referring to the Christian God, because that is what ID stems from) is not an explanation. It explains nothing of how, or why, and is entirely dependant on the validity of an ancient collection of writings already shown to be woefully inaccurate in the fields of science and history. Imagine, if you will, that it is 1835. Agostino Bassi has just stated, for the first time, that disease is caused by "germs". All of a sudden, disease is not the result of God punishing the wicked. It now has a mundane, Earthly explanation. Stein, and his fellow ID proponents, would be arguing that this "Bassinism" idea of "germs" is "just a theory", and can't explain gravity, and that it resulted in biological weapons and thereofre the theory that disease is caused by a vengeful "Magick Man" should be taught alongside "Bassinism" as valid science. This is what Stein is trying to do. You may have noticed my re-labelling of germ theory as "Bassinsim". I had a reason for doing that. You probably noticed Stein doing the same thing. He re-labelled the Theory of Evolution as "Darwinism". Why? To personalize it. To make it seem like a religion, focused around a saviour figure, Darwin. Why would Stein do this? Because it's easier to attack something if you make it seem like a cult, instead of a valid, recognized and oncontrovertible scientific fact and theory. If you want to follow Intelligent Design, fine. It's your opinion. But don't force children to have to learn that antiscientific crap in schools. It does them far more harm than good. Religion should not enter schools, especially when it is corruptig science education and crippling a generation of youth. Save you money, save your mind, and most importantly: save your childrens future. Don't let Stein succeed in forcing his religious crap on the youth of today.

This is an excellent documentary that details the discrimination, and blacklisting that scientists, academics, and journalists have faced if they published or even discussed data that contradicts Darwinism and supports Intelligent Design. In arguing for the freedom to speak freely about the evidence against Darwinism and the academic freedom to pursue data wherever it leads without risking one's academic career, this documentary makes its case compellingly. Ben Stein with his inimitable sense of humor interviews many of the key players on both sides of this controversy in a thoughtful and respectful way. It is interesting to me that many of the negative comments I had read in the news media and on the internet about the film were completely inaccurate and misrepresented the film. The film is not at all a defense of Intelligent Design (although many of those interviewed do defend it), but rather argues for the freedom to examine and discuss the data supporting Intelligent Design and contradicting Darwinism without reprisal. Having seen the documentary, and reflecting back on the misrepresentations, I wonder how many of these negative commentators and reviewers had actually seen the movie. After viewing this film, I immediately emailed several family and friends urging them to see this important documentary.

This was seriously an amazing documentary, I often don't like documentaries, but this one was good. It really reveals some really shocking things in it... And it's crazy because it is not just one view of it, the director interview multiple people to discover the truth on how the world was really created! Even though it is not a comedy, there was a couple times that I couldn't stop laughing! It was very inspiring and displays some extremely shocking views from some evolutionists! It is definitely a must see! But of course," No Intelligence Allowed"!!!

I wish I could rate this a 0, or even less than that, because this movie was absolute bullcrap. I bought a ticket for another movie, so I could still see this movie while not giving money to these idiots. Basically, every part of this movie is complete garbage. The theory of evolution IS A FACT. No disputing that. If you want a complete list of why this movie is bullcrap and a complete waste of time and money, google "Expelled:Leader's Guide" All in all, this movie should be treated as propaganda. This movie made every fibre of my being angry. Angry for the fact that we still haven't gotten out of the dark ages intellectually. I HOPE that one day we will get out of this stupid thinking and embrace the scientific method, as is proper.

This is a movie for those that want to know the story of censorship that is occuring on our political system of science. Persons that do not agree are, crushed by the, intellectual authority of high education from the seat of its power. Is this is a problem in the USA only, I wonder if this type of polictal thuggery is not also prevelant in Canada. However our system has not yet developed an objection to the dominators of relative truth. Fun with obious file footage the humor is entertaining, some interesting conotations are to be litened for carefully. Go see it, we need more, exposure of those that position themselves as the sole purveyors of their idea of truth.

Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed is actually better than I had anticipated. Yes, I know it has problems and some of the evolutionists were suckered into responding incoherently. Let me give some examples. One scientist was interviewed about the origin of life and talked about crystals. He had obviously been interviewed before by the press and was putting on his layman's explanation. Even so, he kept saying the same thing without supplying any explanation about how the theory worked. Realistically, the clay crystals theory doesn't really solve the significant problems associated with biogenesis theories. 1 Dawkins claims he was suckered into giving a lame example of intelligent design. Ben Stein asked him how intelligent design might operate in the universe, and the only thing he could think of was the intelligent design of life on earth by some advanced alien species. It sounded really stupid. He would have done better to keep his mouth shut.

Why are we afraid to question the status quo? This was not a movie made by Christians or Evangelicals (Isn't Ben Stein Jewish... and not necessarily a practicing Jew?) It did not seem to me to be religious in anyway. I thought it was a legitimate (if not humorous) request to at least discuss the inconsistencies of Evolutionary Theory. Why are we afraid to ask questions? Imagine if Einstein refused to challenge Newtonian Theory. I'm not saying embrace Intelligent Design, rather, I'm saying let's acknowledge the inconsistencies in the model that the majority of us have embraced without question. My guess is that there is a third (or fourth...) theory that we haven't even considered yet because we are just too afraid to ask the questions.

An excellent primer on critical thinking. Students today are taught to accept rather than judge for themselves. Historically this has led to "the world is flat" theories so there are times when it becomes necessary to rattle the cage. This is what Stein is attempting to do.

I love the fact that this film is sparking debate. When I saw the reviews for this film (prior to deciding to see the film I might add) I saw the polarization of opinion. People either liked it a lot, or they didn't. That got me interested. Now I have studied physics, astronomy, psychology, existential philosophy, as well as a number of eastern wisdom traditions, such as Buddhism and Hindu yogic texts. I used to be a devout practicing Catholic for many years, up into my 40's in fact. But I finally left the Church after I came to realize that much of its dogma was more concerned with keeping me obeisant to a set of unquestionable assumptions, which I was to accept on faith. As I explored other wisdom traditions unfamiliar to me, I began to see that I had constructed a rather limited worldview, despite my exposure and acceptance of most scientific ideas, including evolution. In fact, I still subscribe to evolutionary theory as a partial explanation of how life forms change over time. I have no problem with such a notion. While I do not accept the idea of a human-like God who runs the show, as it were, I do not have any problem with accepting the proposition that intelligence, be it incarnate in a body like ours, or disincarnate, and inherently present in the fabric of the universe itself is possible, or that such intelligence is vastly ancient, perhaps well beyond our ability to conceptualize. What Ben Stein's film does is cause all of us to question a number of sacred cow assumptions. Science is suppose to be an open-minded, self-correcting approach to knowledge. It's only basis for rejecting a proposition is the provision of tangible, measurable evidence to the contrary. To date, science in my opinion has not met the necessary threshold of evidence to demonstrate the existence or the non-existence of a higher level of intelligence than human, at work in the universe, and as such can really only say that the jury is still out. I found Mr. Stein's inquiry into Intelligent Design to be balanced. He asked as many tough questions of ID scientists as he did of Richard Dawkins. What I also found quite interesting was the point that science has yet to explain the origin of life as such. Life is a highly complex proposition, and anyone who is well read on the subject of genetics, and this includes Richard Dawkins, will readily admit that DNA is by no means the rosetta stone in explaining how we get from a library of information contained within one DNA strand to a multi-cellular organism with differentiated limbs that are almost symmetrical on each side of our bodies. This is the Epi-genetics challenge that still baffles cell biology. In my personal experience, institutionalized mainstream science suffers from the same rigid myopia and fundamentalism that one finds in so many fundamentalist religions. If it did not, it would not display the same hostility and intolerance of different views as found in these versions of religious understanding. I expect that in the centuries ahead, we will witness an effort to integrate the best lessons that evolution has to teach us about humanity's origins, while the intelligent design advocates will help to stretch our imaginations to levels which today may seem like wild science fiction. In the end, no model of reality is beyond question or scrutiny. But it is sad indeed when humans choose to lose sight of this essential feature about science in favour of promoting the orthodoxy of one particular, immutable view. When this happens, we all lose, and our species is the poorer for it. Every model and perspective has something important to say and add to the total understanding of reality. Intelligent design may not necessarily be a trojan horse to advance a non-secular agenda, as so many proponents of evolution would have us believe. Good scientific questions deserve good scientific answers in response. Oh, by the way, after the show, I took the unusual step of asking members of the theatre audience to indicate in a show of hands how many liked and how many disliked the film. In a theatre of some 30 or so audience members, 19 said they liked the film. No one raised their hand to say they disliked the film. Who knows... perhaps they needed to think about it some more. I find that a most interesting outcome. Bravo to Ben Stein for having the courage to stir such a contentious pot of stew.

I enjoyed this movie, which challenges the status quo of the prevailing policy in academedia, media, and religious domains, which is that if you are a God-believer, you must be stupid, lunatic, silenced or otherwise expelled. Science and idealogy, which comes to play first in people's mind is a critical issue. This is a movie that dares to speak the minority's voice in a prevailing anti-God enviroment. I would suggest people from both sides to put aside their personal emotional energy first, then watch the movie by trying to seeing the arguments based upon both sides of views. Emotional energy is not beneficial in viewing matters objectively. Overall, it is a daring documentary movies and a good try to challenge the status quo in moder or post-modern worldviews. There are rooms to improve in terms of movie technique and systematic and logic approach in tackling the ID argument vs evoluation argument.

Very pertinent in dismantling the rigid and aggressive theoretical construct of Evolutionism and, mainly, the disgraceful behaviour of its supporters who shun away from any meaningful scientific debate with the smarter and more illuminated opponents. Go and see it, your mind and soul will benefit from it!

It's an excellent documentary that really rocks you. The censorship (so called scientific) that has plagued our world into ignoring valid and fundamental evidence of the Intelligent Design theory has been hit pretty hard by this movie. It should become part of any school curricula.

I resent these people using pseudo-rational arguments to push a religious viewpoint. They're not being censored--their argument is simply not worth discussion. Perhaps if they don't want to believe in evolution, they can go back to eating the few kinds of plants and animals not improved by selective breeding, which is a kind of evolution. I'm fine with them believing what they want to, and living as people did in Jesus' time, to a lifespan of about 30. I'm not fine with them enjoying the fruits of what this film disparages.

If everyone dogging this film could get off their high horses - everything about evolution, whether Darwin's theory or the Christian perspective, is speculation. Guesses at what could have happened. Why shouldn't a new view be allowed a forum? Obviously some people are going to believe it and some are against it, but it's a experience to witness another side of things. Appreciate the fact that we live in a society where opposing views still have a place - students of all ages should be encouraged to embrace that fact. Let them make up their own minds to what they believe happened.

A bold movie that questions the self-proclaimed authorities in scientific rhealm as to why they are shutting down Scientists with valid views that disagree with their own. Excellent discussion starter, well done docu-drama. All I can say is "finally the growing questions and piles of evidence that point towards an intelligent Designer can begin to be asked... the Iron Door is being opened"

The price of living in an open and free society is having to put with this kind of nonsense... Thank God that I was raised in a Christian home that would not tolerant intellectual deception such as Ben Stein does in this film... dishonesty of the mind is the hallmark of intellectually enfeebled. Science is science. Religous belief is not science.

This is the first time that I have found a movie to be reprehensible and offensive. It takes great strides in distorting Darwin's theory, in misrepresenting the arguments made by academics against intelligent design, and doesn't show whether ID is even a viable scientific theory. This "documentary" is far from even-handed and creates the impression that there is a genuine scientific controversy where none exists. I am terrified that people will be convinced by this movie that there is a genuine conflict between evolution and ID, not because I'm scared that "big science" is being "usurped" by alternative theories, but because this is nothing but empty rhetoric and propaganda.

Finally, someone has produced a film that is worthwhile! This should be seen by every high school and university student out there! It's about time this was openly discussed and addressed! Congratulations to Ben for bringing it to the big screen. See it, tell your friends to see it. And to the Dawkins fans, you should google any debate involving atheists - good luck on the final test...

The most dishonest documentary ever produced... Ben Stein is such a crooked, linking darwinism to the holocaust. Let me make it very simple for you fundies: Darwinism = the only proven and scientifically accepted theory on the origin of life on earth. It has NEVER been seriously challenged since Darwin published his findings 150 years ago. Social-darwinism = complete distortion of Darwin's findings, has nothing to do with Darwin and evolution. Hitler was just a freak who believed in social-darwinism. By the way Hitler was Christian, so forget about his so-called 'atheism'. Keep distorting the facts and being delusional my creationist friends, you are not making any valid argument and just showing us how dishonest you are in this fake debate.

Since people seems to vote this up even if they didn't see that crap. The 'debate' issue was invented because their's nothing to their argument. (Hey the vatican said evolution is real!)

This is a documentary that has humour as well as a serious side. This should be seen by all who have an open mind.

A childish attack on the scientific method that won't end up changing any minds.

"This should be seen by every high school and university student" That comment sent shivers down my spine. Scary. You should google Richard Dawkins.

This movie is a piece of creationist propaganda clap-trap made on behalf of the "Intelligent Design" (ha!) proponents in the U. S., especially the misnamed Discovery Institute, that are working so hard to subvert the U. S. educational system with their attempts to get creationism-redux a. k. a. Intelligent Design Theory taught as a viable alternative to the Theory (in the scientific sense, not the plebeian sense) of Evolution. Search online anywhere scientists gather for lots of information about why this film is downright dishonest and disingenuous.

Partisan tripe. Reeks of dishonesty. Shamelessly distorts facts and history. An absolutely epic cinematic embarrassment of Wagnerian dimensions. Avoid this soul sucking soporific at all costs.
