Expelled part 1

Ben Stein, presidential speechwriter turned celebrity, is looking into the academic study of evolution and intelligent design. If all of these cases in the videos are true, it seems as if alternate theories to that of evolution are often not allowed to see the light of day. If they are afforded this chance, the author is dealt with. I would hope that these publications would receive notice and be tested to see if they hold up to scrutiny. I admire Stein's approach to the issue, gathering research about the issue at hand, and then asking the question "What is so bad about ID?" I have not finished the film, but am excited to see where it goes. Hopefully Stein will be as objective as possible. Skepticism should be encouraged about ID as well as evolution, allowing both sides to be weighed equally, letting the evidence decide which view is correct.
