Synopsis:
"Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed" its about the controversial subject of evolution and how some educational professionals (doctors, professors, scientists, etc) have been recently blacklisted from universities and journals because of their theories disagreeing with Darwinism.
Dove Worldview:
This is a movie every family should see! Ben Stein does a terrific job as the host, in asking tough questions of those who promote the theory of evolution as the only theory which should be taught in public schoolrooms and universities. Some viewers will be shocked to learn that certain professors were fired from their teaching positions not for teaching Intelligent Design, but for simply mentioning it in a paper or the classroom!
The documentary includes statements from avowed atheists who make such comments as "Religion is nonsensical", or "Believing in God is foolish." However, Ben Stein and many professors promote the idea of teaching Intelligent Design, stating that there are holes in Darwin's theory of evolution, and that the blueprint of our universe is so intelligently designed that it could not have been accidental or random. We gladly award our Dove "Family-Approved" Seal to this documentary. It is informative and also sprinkled with humor, and we recommend it for ages twelve and above. Many parents will probably determine that their children under the age of twelve are mature enough to view this film. Embrace "Expelled" for its Educational Excellence and Common Sense Approach! "Expelled" Excels!
