Jordan and I went to see it in McDonough on Thursday, as well. We both liked it and came away with many topics to discuss from the film.

You are right. Berlinski is -by far- the best and most thought-provoking portions of the movie. The way that he punched holes in the evolutionist agruments (while slumped in his modern art deco chair) was remarkable. He would have to find a very special room to not be the smartest person in it.

I enjoy the Ben Stein discussion with Richard Dawkins. I was surprised that Dawkins would -so quickly- agree that it is possible that a race of highly intelligent individuals could have “seeded” the cell structures for life to begin here on Earth. But -equally, as quick- deny any possibility that said “seeding” could have been done by God. I found it especially amusing when -during the animated cartoon sequence about “The Game of Life”- that they had a character named Richard pulling the arm of a slot machine saying, “Come on, Mother Earth !” That was classic.

Concerning the firings. It is not hard for me to envision that this large labs or colleges would attempt to deflect these firings from being about ideas and beliefs. And instead, try to make them about a less concrete area like performance.

That reminds me of another amusing portion of the film. Watching an evolutionist squirm for a few seconds, when he was confronted with his badly contradicting statements concerning a fired colleague. Well, what was he a respected friend, or a crack pot creationist ?

Jordan and I had many conversations with family and friends over the last couple of days about the movie and most seemed very interested in seeing it for themselves.

I would suggest that anyone with questions on this subject to see this film. Many of the statistics and information are well-known, but it is also nice to see that there are many more people -than you would be led to believe by the mass media- that believe in ID and continue to research the subject.

“To appeal to morality or conscience is to recognize an objective law or truth outside ourselves.”

You are absolutely right. On what basis can we say that the Holocaust was wrong? Not on a basis of Darwinian Evolution. In present day, liberals like Bill Maher cannot oppose the Iraq War. We are just more powerful than they are.

At the same time, what basis do we have for humanitarian efforts? If people are weak, sick, and dying, then let them die. The human race will be stronger for it.

Ugh. Even though I was speaking representively of the evolutionists argument, I became a little nauseous just typing that previous sentence.
