Shawn and I went to "Expelled" today. It was an intriguing documentary to say the least. It is basically about the persecution scientists receive when they present Intelligent Design as an option for the earth's origin. And these are not even necessarily Christian scientists, but just scientists who see the flaws in the theory of evolution as Darwin saw it, and who want to look at the possibility of a designer for the obvious intricate design of our world.
He also interviewed Richard Dawkins, the author of The God Delusion. Ben was able to get him to acknowledge that he could not be 100% sure there was no God. I must say it was somewhat depressing, however, the question continues to run through your head, at least, my head..."What can I do?" And Ben Stein eventually asked that question to one of the scientists. And the answer was basically to work to get the word out of the persecution that is taking place. Thank God Ben Stein has the platform to do so. And I encourage everyone to see this movie, if you can handle being called an idiot, as one of the scientists does for our belief in God and the Bible. So what CAN I do? To start, I can pray. I will even pray for Richard Dawkins; that he would have a "Road to Damascus" experience.

Where did you see that movie at? The God Delusion is the book Andy read and decided to become an atheist afterward. I haven't even heard of that movie but I'd like to.

That is so sad! How is he doing? It was at the theatre here. I'm sure Shawn will buy it as soon as it's on DVD.
