I saw that he had brought Dawkins along for the lulz, but didn't know about his interview with them. That is really disturbing. The people who will go see this movie in earnest are the kind not to do the research or question what they see on the screen. I'm sort of amazed at the wide distribution it's gotten, at least in San Diego. I want to rent it when it comes out on video, but I also don't want to have a brain embolism.

That's a truly amusing saga, and hopefully people are seeing the absurdity of both the movie and the beliefs. Check out <a href="http://scienceblogs.com/pharyngula/2008/03/expelled.php" rel="nofollow">Pharyngula</A>'s blog, he was interviewed for the movie under false pretenses and has been keeping close tabs on it. It just gets more and more unbelievable. Have you been following the Expelled movie? That’s a truly amusing saga, and hopefully people are seeing the absurdity of both the movie and the beliefs.

You need something outside of yourself to believe in because you're scared? You can't cope with the idea of death? That's fine, invent God and Heaven. I can understand that, but don't go mucking around in things that have legitimate explanations. To that end, Ben Stein has had a stroke or something. He was on CNN last night raving about gravity and evolution and how atheists lack morals and ethics. (WTF? I didn't watch this, a friend and I were discussing it later.) Our lack of morals is why you always hear about atheist compounds being raided for under-age polygamy and killing people that are different than us.
