(thread is about expelled the movie )
The first movie I've willing gone to in thirty years. The volumn was way too loud. But seriously, academia is doing everything it can to wipe out Christianity, and without God's help they will be successful.

I can't help but imagine, from reading this, a mob of angry teachers attacking sermons with slide rules and #2 pencils. Is it just me?
"Theology? How about a BIOLOGY textbook...to the face!"
WHAM!
"But seriously, academia is doing everything it can to wipe out Christianity,"
Nah, religion will shrivel up and die simply as a side-effect of education.
"... and without God's help they will be successful."
Thank you, it won't be much longer.

I really wish that were true.
Was Expelled about Christianity? I thought it was about poking cheap-shot fun at know-it-all scientists.
Since the Catholic Church, which represents over half the world's Christian population, doesn't have a problem with evolution, it's hard to see how academia could make much progress in wiping out Christianity by promoting evolution.
"...and without God's help they will be successful."
Damned right, since mere illiterate creationists are no match for those in academia!

God: "I have thought about giving a relevation explaining that Genesis was just a metaphore... but those science guys found out on their own. Those other weirdos seems to worship the KJV-Bible more than me, so I won't bother to convince them of anything."

What, was some jerk previously forcing you to go to movies against your will?

"So, the argument is so unconvincing that they have to put special effects."
That also summed up "What the Bleep Do We Know."

So if they do it on their own, they'll wipe out Christianity, but if God (the omnipotent guy) helps them, they'll lose?
Alas, as the daughter of a tenured sociology professor (slash atheist, I'm proud to say) and a part-time psychology professor (not an atheist, but a New Agey Buddhist-type something), and as someone who has spent the majority of her life on college campuses, I can say that this is just not true.
You'd be truly surprised at the number of batshit insane economists.
The entire premise of Expelled is that scientific fields can't refuse religious dogma in their processes and conclusions and that Christian beliefs have a right to be incorporated into everything.
Science can ignore myth and refuse it's presence until it actually can be proven not to be myth. If they thought they had a legal argument they can take it to court, they don't so they create propaganda shit like Expelled.
Their argument, as in dover, is that Creation-myth is on equal standing with scientific consensus. It's NOT.

If this place used sigs, this might be mine.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
