MCT:July 21, 2008From an unbiased view, I see this movie as a fine approach to science with truly great directing. Not only to the historical ties, the movie clips keep the audience attached but the numerous prestigious interviews allow for education to occur. From a biased point of view, this movie is great. I think that it is great that someone is exposing the fallacies of darwinism and its followers. I suggest this movie for any documentary lover and for anyone who believes in Intelligent Design.

MCT:July 13, 2008If nothing else, I appreciate movies that stimulate discussion, and I think Expelled does this. At times I think the movie went too far... particularly when equating evolutionist to Nazis. And while I have my own personal views regarding intelligent design, as a strong advocate of free speech and thought, the censorship and lack of freedom is what I found most disturbing. I had some problems with the movie, but in the end, I think its a good one for people to see and think about.

MCT:July 2, 2008I could give a damn about evolution or intelligent design except as a bit of sophist shouting material it makes very little difference in mine or anyone else's existence. What I don't care for is paying for a movie that both doesn't inform me or entertain me. Stein goes on a Michael Moore ambush junket with all the zeal but none of the fun. He blasts evolution (and some how compares the theory to the Nazi's- fastest way to lose any debate in my book), he presents "experts" who poke holes but don't offer any alternatives except the phrase "intelligent design" like it was the be all end all explanation. Well great, Thor or the Faeries or Yaweh or Aliens are screwing with us ultimately so Stein can make a movie and I can be bored to tears. I mean at least I can see the point of Evolution theory it has lead to many discoveries in biology and genetics, whether it is wrong or not. What does intelligent design bring to the table can we catch the faeries that have created us or turn the tables on god and use him to power some windmills. That's the question Stein and everyone else in this movie sidesteps there is no apparent benefit to the intelligent design argument. Give me something people.
If there had of been a balanced argument I could have seen this movie being this dry but with the poorly plotted arguments and the zany sinister camera lighting on the Evolution side you'd think they would have at least tried to make it more entertaining. There truly is no intelligence. -

this was really long. but it was still really thought provocking. (dont know how to spell that. lol)
-
MCT:June 1, 2008This is a side of Ben Stein that I have never seen before. He approached this film with scientific precision and achieved conclusions that were shocking. Who says it isn't cool to wear sneakers with a suit?
-
I think people who disprove evolution so strongly don't understand it. Take some biology classes and try to understand it before you say how ridiculous it is. I guess I am curious to hear what says though.

MCT:May 15, 2008this movie rocked its cool and completly shows the major faults in darwinism. this movie is one of my favorite movies

Awesome movie to see. Please see it. It makes all Darwinists and Evolutionist look as dumb as their ideas are.
-
MCT:May 11, 2008
This film really gives you stuff to think afterwards. This is not just a movie you can watch. You have to get into it deeply. It raises your eyebrows and you can't help talking about it afterward.
-
MCT:May 10, 2008
I thought this was an excellent take on the ever roiling Intelligent Design controversy. For those desiring to hear the 'other side' of the story, this is one you'll want to see...
-
MCT:May 8, 2008someone should have said this was going to be a documentary because the way the poster looked was bein stein teaching class. worst ben stein movie or project hes ever been apart of i walked out after 30 mins

MCT:May 5, 2008
No, it's not just you, there -is- a conspiracy against God in the -elite- science circle. Great movie, I loved the cinematography, the humor, the music (Andy Hunter!) and the wit.
-
MCT:May 2, 2008
This was a good documentary. It showed both sides of the arguement about Darwinism and Intelligent Design. It also showed those who are baised in their views.
-
MCT:April 28, 2008heard this was awesome and worth seeing, worth paying money to see in the theatre, not to wait to rent
-
MCT:April 27, 2008
Ok, y'know what? I'll see this. I shouldn't just go and condemn it without seeing it. I still think it sounds like a Stein is giving us bullshit about something he doesn't understand (at least from all I have read and seen about it so far and interviews with Stein about it and such) but It sounds controversial and interesting so I will see it. Why the hell not?

Finally! this movie is one of the first if not the first political movie thats not liberal, no wounder it's the most controversial movie of the year.

BRILLIANT!!!
This is by far the MOST important & relevant movie released this year! It raises a subject that needed to be addressed for a long time! The fact that freedom of speech & thought are being totally annihilated in America on the altar of Darwinism.
Ben did a marvelous job of shredding the shiny objects Darwinists dangle in front of people to keep them from the core issue - that opposing opinions are not allowed to have their say. Freedom demands that ALL voices be heard, not just those who 'think' they are right. I pray Americans are still alert enough to see the dangers to our way of life presented in this film, & that they will not allow history to repeat itself.
May God indeed bless you, Ben Stein, for having the courage to speak out for those who have no voice in the main stream! ^_^ -

it was an iffy movie I think it would be good if u just take lil' parts of the movie and explain the movie... like in a class!
-
MCT:April 21, 2008
I saw it on opening night and loved it. I recommend this movie to anyone that has not made up their mind that evolution is their religion. This movie is filled with great information that we all should consider and discuss.

Don't say how stupid evolution is until you have taken a biology class. Otherwise your arguments are null because you obviously don't realize how scientists developed the theory therefore you can't argue against it.

Why is that you guys
"You guys"? I don't think you know enough about me or anyone here to lump together everyone that didn't approve of this film and assume you know who you are talking to. >:)
don't know how the earth was created? You just think that out of nowhere a ceil was made out of thin air it's like u guy's believe in magic!
Actually, no. This is what you think science says. It's just much easier to come up with something ludicrous like "out of thin air" just to bash about something you don't care or don't know about. ;P
I also don't know why it is that evolution is allowed in public schools and we aren't allowed to pray? I think that is very messed up!
Who said you are not "allowed to pray"? Praying has nothing to do with science education in public schools.posted 103 days ago -
Well exactly science is all about "time" anything is possible with "time", this is wat u said (Science changes because, with time) Why is it that "time" is everything in science?
Sorry, I don't know what you mean. That has nothing to do with what I said. Science advances, just compare technology and knowledge from 300 years ago (in History books) with technology today. Why can't the same advance happen with knowledge about how the universe was formed?
yes God created the earth with time but 7 DAYS not billions of years the only reason they (Darwin and whoever else thought of evolution) said billions of years is because they know nobody would live that long, to be able to prove it wrong!
It was not Darwin (nor anyone else who thought of evolution) who discovered the age of Earth.
And, no, this was something obtained and confirmed experimentally. There are evidences from many different types of radiometric dating methods and samples. It was not just made up.posted 103 days ago -

Well I'm a Christian and I thought it was "okay" I totally agree that the big bang theory is inaccurate because science books change every year and the Bible never changes so that just proves that the big bang theory is totally wrong (...)
Haha... no, it proves nothing, quite the contrary. Science changes because, with time, scientists learn more and more about our universe. Scientific knowledge is not set in stone and should never be. In fact, the day science stops advancing, you can consider it dead.
And, there is no single and authoritative book about science (like Christianity has the bible), because there is no single institution or organisation with a monopoly on scientific knowledge (contrary to organised religions that DO have a monopoly on what is considered "canonical documents"). :)posted 105 days ago -
Well I'm a Christian and I thought it was "okay" I totally agree that the big bang theory is inaccurate because science books change every year and the Bible never changes so that just proves that the big bang theory is totally wrong, but a thing bad about the movie is that Ben Stein is a Jew instead of a Christian and some things I disagreed with.
I also thought that how some people would criticize about the Christian faith was unprofessional it's not like we say that people who believe in evolution are idiots which is what some people that Ben Stein interviewed said, I thought that those people just are very rude!posted 106 days ago -
I've read comments filled by negative reviews written by others -- what does the commentator think? Others posted that they are "Not Interested." If they are not willing to watch the movie, what entitles them to a comment.
That's because this debate has been going on forever, it is much older than this film. Many people already know what are the points made in this film, because they have already been seen somewhere else for many years now. And there are already thousands of reviews online (and many from people with no scientific expertise) that say that this film is shit.
Some reviews tell, for instance, that this film associates Darwin with Nazism (and I don't believe these reviews are lying, unless it is a conspiracy too). But if the film really does that, it can be considered very biased and treacherous.
There is no way a documentary can say this bold-faced and be left unpunished. That's just intellectual dishonesty.posted 108 days ago -
It is NOT a debate of evolution vs. creationism, it is about possibility of intellectual discourse being squelched by a strong scientific lobby.
"Scientific lobby"? Then it must be a world-wide phenomenon. Don't you see how much like a conspiracy theory this claim sounds? That alone should be enough to raise some eyebrows and question this film.
Besides, all evidence of the people that were supposedly "squelched" has been questioned here.posted 108 days ago
