It seems redundant to comment on the dishonest and misleading new film Expelled on this blog. On the other hand, the creationist agenda represents a dangerous element of decay in our society. As such, it needs to be exposed for the insane idiocy that it is. One of the ongoing risks to our civilization is that of a gradual descent back into the mind set of the middle ages. It may sound exaggerated, but it happened before (in ancient Greece) and it took one thousand years to climb back out of the morass.
In general, I don't want to fall into the trap of just reposting other material from the internet, but in this case I believe it's worthwhile.
The YouTube clip producted by "Thunderf00t" does a good job of debunking the film and the disinformation that it promotes.
Why do superstitions and irrational beliefs systems seem to be gaining ground in the last 40 years? Between creationism, horoscopes, and UFO believers, there is plenty of reason to despair, despite the robust educational systems that exists all over the place. Is the problem in th schools?
