My husband and I viewed the movie
Expelled this past weekend. It deals with the issue of science and Intelligent Design. There are great scientists on both sides of the issue, but the movie's main thrust was that Intelligent Design cannot be taught, written about nor otherwise mentioned by university science professors for the students to ponder or investigate. If they do, they find themselves jobless and expelled from the scientific community. Even black-balled. I listened with a sad, sometimes angry, heart as great scientists not only ridiculed all humanity that believes in any kind of a God as "ignorant" and "harmful to this world", but also blasphemed the very God who actually
did create us....... and in His image, no less. Isn't the first premise of science to
question everything? Somehow I guess that this very basic premise simply does not apply to Intelligent Design. That in itself makes me lose respect for these scientists who seem to be incredibly fearful of the notion. What are they protecting? Certainly not the truth, since by
everyones' admission on both sides, we simply
do not know how the very, very first life form began.
Don't know. Period. Therefore, scientifically speaking, there is no absolute truth on this issue. So I want to know why in this 'highly evolved' society we can't consider Intelligent Design as a viable option. Question
everything!

Do you not know? Have you not heard? The LORD is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and His understanding no one can fathom.
~Isaiah 40:28
Do not deceive yourselves. If any one of you thinks he is wise by the standards of this age, he should become a "fool" so that he may become wise. For the wisdom of this world is foolishness in God's sight.
~I Corinthians 3:18-19a
To be called 'ignorant' by these foolish scientists, is the ultimate compliment :-)

Bravo! Very eloquently stated. It can make us crazy, can't it, when learned people can not even consider Creation. Sad, the veil satan has on people's minds and hearts.
Good evaluation! My favorite part was Richard Dawkin's conclusion that since they can't explain the beginning of life ...he chooses to believe that we were seeded from another planet. Yeah, that explains NOTHING about the beginning of life! And how hard is it to believe that one?! Watch The Priveledge Planet...if you want to see what the likelihood of that happening!
