You know, we were taught in elementary school the scientific method. You remember:
- You begin with a research question
- You form a hypothesis (i.e. an "educated guess" as to what you're going to discover)
- You collect data
- You analyze collected data
- You report the findings
And a cardinal rule of pure science is that your research is repeatable by other scientists operating under the same conditions. Evolution fails the test of science on several fronts, yet the scientific community is so committed to atheism that they aren't willing to concede that data do not support their hypotheses. Accordingly, I'm shocked at the intellectual dishonesty that pervades the scientific community...although there are some good scientists and academicians out there...they're just not the ones who get the media attention.
I'm looking forward to this movie/documentary. I hope you'll go see it, too...

My husband had to take a college class in which the teacher entitled a lesson,
"Diversified Training." The class supposively was training them to deal with different religious outlooks.
On one of the evolution handouts I seem to hear that evolution CAN be complimentary to the creation IF we we have ears to hear scripture references.
To give you an example, of which I'm sure will jump out at you, is a "naked seed."
Promotion of the film, "Expelled," has a internet site providing tools and resources to promote the ideas in the film, but . . .
I am a Science Teacher. I push to my students that the Theory of Evolution was not intended to explain how animals got on Earth, but how they have adapted to their environment. All life forms, I explain, have been designed to adapt.
Darwin even stated that the fossil record would "unearth" the truth. We would eventually find the transitional phases that may have linked certain species together. They haven't been found because they don't exist. The pseudo- intellectuals have taken that 150-year-old idea and taken it to dizzying depths led by the darkness of existential humanism.
The renown Christian apologist, Ravi Zacharias, has stated that it takes more faith to believe in the "Origin of the Species", (as it has been perverted) than to believe in the Benevolent Creator/ Designer.
Now, who would believe a man with one arm who had lost that arm in a tragic car accident would have children with one arm? Yet, ignoring genetics, the Evolutionist/ Atheistic congregation has concluded that the transitional phases are still waiting for our discovery. They are still looking for the bird (an herbivore) that hatched a lizard (a carnivore) that then turned and ate its parents, roamed over to the edge of the cliff and flew to the waiting nest of the primate (an omnivore) to birth some new species that only lived long enough to carry the gene that allowed it to talk.
Lastly, when faced with the question of which of these scenarios was more likely, Creation or Evolution (intention vs. haphazard), one such disciple of the latter stated, "I have to believe in Evolution. I cannot accept that there is a God."

Okay, I finally went see the movie, “Expelled;” and, I could write a book of comments to those scientists, but I’m sure they wouldn’t listen. Therefore, it is up to our Christians to “expel the myth.”
The evolutionist scientists seem to be a casualty of the “religious” war. Therefore, the issue is on the front lines of the spiritual fight (with the scientist community having their livelihood threaten). One has to acknowledge that God is “real” before they want forgiveness of their sins. To bring God into reality, we have to learn how the seeking of HIS face will heal our land
In the beginning of our life, we’re void of understanding and the existence of God. However, as we grow, we have a choice to believe in a higher power that created us, or, in an evolutionary process that formed us. The fact that personal experiences choose evolution over existence of intelligent design should tell us that our witness to the world is overall hypocritical. Thus, we need to learn how to explain the process of spiritual growth – eliminating, first of all, the hypocrite perception to a babe in Christ perception.
Secondly, we need to coordinate more realism of the Bible to the world in which live. For instance, every church should be able to “take the lesson from the ant” and explain the working of the members of the church with the “stage of life” of these members. The internet has made available a wide spectrum of information available on our plant and animal kingdoms.
Furthermore, the different hearings on the parables/scriptures bring about more understanding regarding the professing Christian denominations/religions.
