The Expelled Movie...check it out

Check out my post Tuesday for an update on our NAMB interviews.

I wanted to mention the Expelled movie. I got to attend a Director's Cut preview a couple weeks ago here at Southern Seminary. I'm not going to give a full review of the movie or anything like that...I just want to encourage you to see the movie.
I, probably like a lot of you, was totally surprised to here that "the Visine guy" or "the 'Bueller' guy" was doing a movie on the conrtoversy of Creationism being expelled from the classroom. However, the movie is great! Stein and the producers have done a great job at interviewing how this has happened, and also at pointing out the controversies in Darwinian thought. A main issue in the movie is how ridiculous it is for Darwinians to be so fearful of Intelligent Design, and how wrong it is for our government to keep some ideas and thoughts out of the classroom. In their efforts to separate church and state, they do exactly the opposite...Evolution philosophy is a religion...it is a belief in how our world came about. If Evolution is allowed to be taught in our schools, Creationism should at least be given the same opportunity!

Kristin, being a public school teacher, faces the struggle daily with not being able to openly talk about Creationism and intelligent design; as well with the pain of having to teach Evolution philosophy, which has SO many flaws it's ridiculous.

It also has a very interesting ending with with an interview between Stein and one of the leading Evolutionist personalities today.


Another note to tuck away somewhere is that, assuming this movie does well, the producers are considering doing another project on "the Sanctity of Human Life." We'll be looking forward to it.
