No Intelligence Indeed

Posted : 9 months, 1 week ago on 19 February 2009 03:51 (A review of Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed)

In this "documentary", evolution is critisised and "Intelligent Design" (ID) is prized (though an explanation of why ID is a science is lacking). I've never seen such a mess of misinterpretation, bold lies and bad arguments. Midway, the film changes from saying ID is science and not related to religion, to implying that evolutionists are part of a big conspiracy to make the world atheist and to remove Americas Freedom. Apparently, atheism and evolutionism will inevitably lead to communism and/or nazism. Aside from a very tasteless scene in a concentration camp, there are some laughs to be had.

This film is best seen with friends and alcohol. Suggested drinking game: drink

-every time Hitler/nazism/fascism/communism is mentioned in the same sentence as Darwin
-every time a segment is followed by a cut to a totally irrelevant and clip.
-every time somebody obviously lies or misinforms.
-every time the editing makes the evolutionary biologists look like self-obsessed fools and the interviewer as a really nice guy.
-every time the argumentation consists of a logical fallacy.
-every time the film's hero is dishonest.
