As you may know, Ben "Bueller, Bueller, Bueller" Stein has a film out about intelligent design called "Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed" (wikipedia) (IMDB). No, it's not saying that you have to be stupid to be an intelligent design proponent, it argues that intelligent design is an alternative to evolution, that intelligent design proponents are being silenced by what Stein calls "Big Science", and that evolution leads to all kinds of "evil" nonsense.

Well, there's also a site out called "Expelled Exposed" that explains both the inaccuracies of the film and the dishonesty in its making.

Enjoy!

This is a pretty thorough site and should be quite informative to anyone who misunderstands evolutionary theory. I think every single one of those ID proponents should be required to read this both before and after watching the movie. XDD

I doubt if 90% of the movie's viewers would bother reading. They're already certain they know the truth, so why bother learning?

I'm kind of hoping that some of them will read it, hoping to refute the facts. Because if they have any kind of rationality whatsoever, they will have to admit that Ben Stein is lying and stretching the truth until it barely resembles anything at all. XD

'Course, I know there are still some who will read the facts and still insist that they're wrong... but I suppose willful ignorance can't be helped in everyone.

I draw solace from the fact that most of the viewers will be creationists already. It will convince few people of anything, and those few are probably reachable via debate and evidence.
