Ben Stein (Ferris Bueller’s Day Off… “Bueller? Bueller? Anyone? Anyone?”) is troubled by the Darwinist thought police who patrol the intellectual hallways of the world. He’s taking them on in a new movie due out on February 12, 2008, called Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed.
Here’s the trailer.
MMM Tasty… Is there another web site that gives some more meat to the bones on this movie? Also, anyone know what is Ben’s background?
I love Ben Stein! He is a respected and intelligent member of the Hollywood community (that is rare right) and you might have seen him on those clear eyes commercials.
He also had a funny and intelligent game show years ago called “Win Ben Stein’s Money”.
He is definitely a conservative thinker, he is on Fox News and CBS from time to time, and I believe he is a devout Jew.
This looks like a good movie as he likes to take on junk science like this and I would expect to see a sequel on global warming.
Here is his website http://www.benstein.com
The New York Times is reporting that Richard Dawkins and others are complaining that they were misled when they were asked to appear in the film.
NYT: Scientists Feel Miscast in Film on Life’s Origin
I love this line from the article: “There is no credible scientific challenge to the theory of evolution as an explanation for the complexity and diversity of life on earth.” That’s not a quote, that’s the supposedly-unbiased statement of the article’s author.

There is a new “super-trailer” available now…
