A new movie called Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed advocates "intelligent design" and promotes itself as a film that uncovers the persecution of educators and scientists for challenging evolution. Starring Ben Stein as questioner - Michael Moore-style, except conservative - the movie banked $3.2 million on its opening weekend.
It has garnered plenty of criticism, and even a lawsuit from Yoko Ono who isn't happy about the movie's use of John Lennon's song "Imagine."
Hace pocas semanas, los Médicos y Cirujanos por la Integridad Científica (PSSI, por sus iniciales en inglés) impartieron una serie de charlas en diferentes puntos de la geografía española acerca de las lagunas del evolucionismo. Ahora, gracias al esfuerzo de Álvaro García Mohedano y Juan Fernando Sánchez, podemos disfrutar de una de las charlas que dieron en Madrid. Para ver el resto de vídeos, pinche aquí.
Since Darwin published his Origin of the Species in 1859, the debate over the origin of the world among evolutionists and creationists has degraded into a mess of uncommunicative polarization.

However, not all have the view that science and religion are incompatible.
I’ll never forget the day I nearly lost my faith over an old skull. I was sixteen and a sophomore in High School. My biology professor, a staunch evolutionist, was writing on the chalkboard. He looked suspiciously like the chimpanzees he admired—large protruding ears, prominent forehead, and thick lower lip. We had just opened our textbooks to chapter 12 and I was preparing once again to plug my ears and hum through the lecture when I glanced down at a picture on the left-facing page. I froze.
