From Panda's Thumb, folks. Pass the word...

oFdG4eySIU8 Ron Paul accuses the USA of being "occupiers", obviously in reference to Iraq and Afghanistan. Ben Stein responds, by calling this accusation "anti-Semitic". Not withstanding the accuracy of Paul's argument, Ben Stein makes ZERO sense, accusing Paul of anti-Semitism. what did...

As I said at Digg, natural selection's a bitch. ;) http://digg.com/d3zzVA

Stumbled across this thread, and I didn't find a reference to it in these forums. Looks like someone made a subtitle track for Expelled that addressed the misinformation presented in the movie. Now if only there were little robot silhouettes as well...

Ben says that if we all just believe in it and wish really, REALLY hard, it will happen! Reminds me of this:

Reportedly due to outcry: WCAX.com The funny thing is the Discovery Institute's spin: Source OK, Stein withdraws and the IDiots claim he was "expelled" and it was "unlikely... voluntary." Why do creationists see a conspiracy in everything? You made a bad documentary about an academic...

UVM is the University of Vermont. And I suspect you all know about Ben Stein, the outspoken opponent of evolution. He gave a lecture at UVM last spring on economic matters that was well received. So the University invited him to give the Commencement speech this year, which would have included...

So I watched Actor/Economist/Speechwriter and Intelectual at Large Ben Stien's movie today. So what do we think of some of his claims? Specifically, 1.) That while slight changes in nature over time is evident, we do not have evidence of one species becoming another. 2.) That the peer review...

Ever since a Russ Meyer film festival I screened with friends in the mid-70's, Roger Ebert has held a special place in my heart. Having co-written both big-boob classics Beyond The Valley Of The Dolls and Beneath The Valley Of The Ultra-Vixens, he could have rested on his considerable laurels...

Following the recent DVD release of Ben Stein's Expelled, I've been searching around to see if anyone has written up a transcript of the movie. I tried expelledexposed.com, but their focus is on the specific arguments, so I lucked out there. I could pick up a copy of the DVD at my library and...

I keep seeing the commercial for Clear Eyes eyedrops, with the spokesman Ben Stein. Yes, the same Stein who hates science and thinks Darwinism leads to genocide. Therefore I have written the following letters. Please critique before I send this off!

I recently received the following unsolicited email; I have no idea how I got on this "list". I have passed it on to both the NCSE and Pandas Thumb. Did anyone else here get this email? What are your thoughts about it?

I wanted to ask Penn & Teller if they knew Ben Stein and what they thought of him and his movie.... but was unable to get my question in before time ran out. But I was able to ask them privately. UNBELIEVABLY, neither of them seemed to have any idea what I was talking about! In addition, Penn...

"Expelled" arrived here (aka Canada) this week and the reviews have been pretty critical. Some reviewers are more clued in than others but the wholehearted consensus seems to be "it's a bad, bad movie". In scanning the reviews on Google.ca News I found this one had a pretty revealing piece...

Another exposé of Ben Stein's movie. http://www.reason.com/news/show/126800.html My favorite bit: :D

I tried to find a link to this, but unfortunately there isn't one at the moment. In the May edition of The Limbaugh Letter Rush limbaugh interviews Ben Stein about the film Expelled. If you can get your hands on a copy, check it out. BTW, I'm neither endorsing nor defending any of this. I'm...

I made the mistake of commenting on the movie, "Expelled", on the Yahoo movie review forum not knowing they posted your email address or at least posted enough of it that it wasn't hard to figure out. Anyway, so far this is only the second person to send me a direct email because of my movie...

GB introduced BS (hah) by saying, "And here is the star of the new hit movie..." So I knew that was going to set the tone for what followed. I only made it five minutes into the program. I am horrified that people like this can be so influential.

I have a new conspiracy theory. You'd think someone as intelligent as Ben Stein would understand that an argument like, "The theory of evolution is incorrect because it doesn't explain the formation of galaxies" is illogical and analogous to saying "music theory is incorrect because it doesn't...

Ben Stein discussed Expelled tonight on the Late Show with Craig Ferguson Only my third time watching TV this year and I get this: "Darwinism doesn't explain how the planets stay in their orbits." "His followers claim it explains everything including astronomy." "We're (the makers of...

Consider the following facts: The US was developed by deist and non-deist alike, in the spirit of the Enlightenment Movement. This movement was part of the movement to the scientific method via Hume, Popper, and company. It was a secular movement, a movement that subscribed to the idea that...

I didn't see this link posted yet in a search of titles re the movie Expelled. So hopefully it isn't a duplicate thread. http://www.expelledexposed.com/ Also, the makers of this animation, The Inner Life of a Cell, are apparently suing the producers of Expelled over copyright infringement. It...

Reading some of the individual ordinary human being reviews of Ben Stein's Expelled, posted just now on the internet, I'm getting a sense that this movie could be a lot bigger than almost everyone here would prefer. It might just be the mass-media event that was needed to break the camel's back...

Spread this around as much as possible on the Internet - it's about how Ben Stein is starring in the new anti-science movie "Expelled". Here is a new meme that needs to be repeated often... Ben Stein has jumped-the-couch! For reference, read up on "jumping the couch" here...

It's on YouTube, but I found it through reason.com, so I'll link to their post: http://www.reason.com/blog/show/126049.html ;)

I know, I know - not another thread about Ben Stein's "Expelled"... But you should read on. The website du jour for all the dirt and facts on "Expelled" has a new look and contains more info than before. Expelled Exposed Flunked, Not Expelled: What Ben Stein isn't telling you about...

While watching "The Universe" on the History Channel, guess what pops on during the commercial break: 588v3kYcqEA Now the atheist, skeptical, and scientific communities have given this movie the derision it so properly deserves. However, most are too willing to dismiss this film's potential...

It looks like there's been a copyright lawsuit filed against the makers of "Expelled", and the film may never reach theaters as a result. Read all about it on the Panda's Thumb blog... Will the public ever see Expelled? I was wondering how long it would take for the other shoe to drop...

This is too damn funny. Even Fox News thinks that Ben Stein and company are full of crap when it comes to "Expelled"... Ben Stein: Win His Career Here's an excerpt: "After seeing a new non-fiction film starring Comedy Central’s Ben Stein, you may not only be able to win his money, but also...
