Anyone out there know of the Truth Project ? I was in a small group that just finished going through the series back in December. The leader of that group sent us an email about a a new film called EXPELLED: NO INTELLIGENCE ALLOWED with Ben Stein. Looks like something worth l'd like to see.

We can laugh and we can cry
And never see the strong hand of love hidden in the shadows
We can dance and we can sigh
And never see the strong hand of love hidden in the shadows

I've been seeing the banner ads for it all over the web. Consider me mildly intrigued.

I posted that many months ago when the trailer first came out. I sort of got the impression that it wasn't going to be that honest of a movie in a Michael Moore type style. There's obviously a lot of money behind it though. I can't imagine Bad To The Bone being cheap to play as your theme music.

I've been hearing about this project for some time now. Sounds like it will be worth watching. I really hope it is good. I am sure the media will either jump all over it and bash it or completely ignore it. We shall see soon enough.

A few weeks ago there was a large RV parked outside the Vines with Ben Stein's name and image emblazoned on the side. I believe it was a promo for this film.

I read a little about some screenings that have been going on at campuses around the country. From what I've read, the film has been screened and the reviews say that it seems a bit unpolished and the presentation wasn't the most professional. I really hope that they get this thing done in a proper way before it hits the big screen.

I don't think Ben Stein is a Christian, although his wife is a Presbyterian.

Saw it today. Very well done. If you're at all interested in origins, it's a great movie about academic freedom.

Saw it this weekend. Good movie-gives one a lot to think about. Mainly, could I intelligently argue for ID if faced with such a situation? After hearing some of the scientists on this film I am not sure!
P.S. Ben Stein is Jewish
