Unintentionally, this week is turning into creation week. I am looking at drafts of upcoming posts and they are all about creationists. I hereby declare this Creationism Week here at Observations of a Student.

First of all, if you haven’t heard about Ben Stein’s movie Expelled, go watch the trailer and read a previous post I wrote about losing respect for Ben Stein. ‘Expelled: no intelligence allowed’ is a pro-creationist movie that is nothing more than religious propaganda.

In Exposed, Ben Stein is incredibly dishonest in manipulating his audience. It is sad that people without much scientific knowledge could come out of the movie believing the horrible things that Stein says. Actually, scientific knowledge is the wrong word. All the movie requires is a scientific mind, not specifically knowledge. There are many things that Stein gets wrong, and he makes some outrageous claims. Here are just a few:

“If Darwin wanted to challenge the consensus today, how would he do it? Science is not a hobby for rich aristocrats anymore, it’s a multi-million-dollar industry. And if you want a piece of the pie, you’ve got to be a good comrade.”

“Darwinism also has not one meaningful word to say on the origins of organic life, a striking lacuna in a theory supposedly explaining life” - ( Of course that’s not what Darwinism is about. The theory of magnetism doesn’t explain the origins of life either)

The site expelledexposed.com is one of the main forces trying to educate viewers and expose the truth behind the film. I have been looking at some stats for expelledexposed.com and think that it needs more promotion.

Here they are below:

I realize that stats aren’t everything, and that both of the stats are fundamentally flawed. With regards to “expelled” vs “expelled exposed” in google trends, the former will always outrank the later, just because it is a common word. Alexa rankings have some issues too, and should be viewed as more of a guideline. Even though these stats are flawed, I still believe that expelledexposed.com needs to be promoted more.

Go out and promote expelledexposed.com !!!!!!!! digg it, reddit it, stumble it…..tweet it…facebook it…whatever you can come up with.
