I just got back from watching one of the most amazing and yet disturbing videos I can remember. Ben Stein created and stars in this moving shedding light on the persecution scientists and academicians face whenever they challenge Darwinism. In case after case, many well-respected scientists have lost their jobs in academia sometimes just for mentioning the words "intelligent design" in a lecture or publication. I took my 6th and 8th grade boys to see the movie and they both said it was great and thought that all their friends should see it. Having always grown up in a Christian environment, it seems ludicrous that some of the noted evolutionists could believe some of the things they said. For instance, several indicated they believed the first cell came from minerals that attached themselves to crystals and over time, those crystals evolved into living beings and then later said they thought it was possible that we came from another planet of highly developed organisms that planted us on the earth as seeds.
The correlation between Darwinism and Nazism was demonstrated and it was very interesting to see the similarities between these two philosophies. There was also supporting evidence that Darwinism is influencing human lives today much like Hitler did in his reign of terror. One only has to look at the abortion and euthanasia issues to see our society's attempts to devalue human life.
The highlight of the movie, and I don't want to spoil it for you, was when Ben Stein interviewed Dr. Richard Dawkins in London. Dawkins is one of the leading Darwin proponents and an avowed atheist. Stein just let Dawkins talk with only minimal questions for clarification and over the course of a few minutes, Dawkins basically made the case for intelligent design.
This is a movie that you must see!
