Wow. So, for fun I've been surfing around to the blogs about Expelled. Comments are really interesting. You can tell people who have actually seen the movie, and those who haven't. First, anyone mentioning how it's creationist "propaganda" hasn't seen it and is writing in ignorance or are just dumb, deaf, and blind while watching the movie. The same goes for anyone who says it's all about anti-Darwin stuff. Although there are few people who share expressions of doubt on evolution, it isn't about that, nor is it about establishing the evidence for Intelligent Design.
It's about the established scientific institution repressing alternate scientific ideas; specifically ID. It shows the damages caused by this heavy-handedness, and other damages in the past. With such an emotionally charged issue Expelled is really turning heads and also turning over the ugly side of some people.
Whether your evolutionary-atheist, evangelical-Christean, or plain old American, the message is important. Freedom of inquiry, freedom for pursuit of truth, freedom from persecution. Freedom is the antidote to prejudice, and the catalyst to achievement.
