Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed

Saturday night Tyron and I watched the documentary "Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed." This documentary was made by Ben Stein to expose the scientific community in their efforts to completely squash the theory of Intelligent Design. Intelligent Design is not necessarily the same as Creationism, but it does have some of the same elements.

I really encourage you, whether you are a Believer or not, to watch this movie. It's amazing how some scientists are going from being a scientist to atheist to attacker of religion. In fact, one of the scientists interviewed wrote a book entitled "The God Delusion." Here is a quote from this book by Richard Dawkins:

"The God of the Old Testament is arguably the most unpleasant character in all fiction: jealous and proud of it; a petty, unjust, unforgiving control-freak; a vindictive, bloodthirsty ethnic cleanser; a misogynistic, homophobic, racist, infanticidal, genocidal, filicidal, pestilential, megalomaniacal, sadomasochistic, capriciously malevolent bully."
Hello? Could you be more insane? Tyron actually paused the movie at this point, looked at me and said, "You know, I tend to want to be God's justice man. Make people pay for profaning God and His Word, but man, I want nothing to with this meeting with God on his judgement day. Talk about saying and thinking ALL the wrong things."
This movie pretty much only reiterates the fact that without Jesus you have nothing. If you have seen this movie, I would love to know your thoughts on it. I can't get over how crazy it was to hear what some of these people said in their interviews.
