Ben Stine v. Charles Darwin
January 14, 2008 by Dr. Mc.
If you have not already heard about Ben Stine’s movie, Expelled, then check it out.
It will hit theaters in February around Darwin’s birthday, and the subject is
academic freedom, particularly as it pertains to suppression of problems with Darwinism. At the website, they have created a link for people to post their own stories of
being denied academic freedom, and I recommend it as good reading. My video is posted
there, but the text stories are well worth the read. Some are more technical than others, but
they make the point: The problem of academic freedom on the issue of Darwinism
is not isolated and it is not rare. Do a Google search on "Ben Stine" or
"Expelled the Movie" and see how much flack he is getting for it. It is an
indication that he is stepping on a lot of toes. It is an indication that the
suppression is real. As my Daddy used to say, "If you don’t have any enemies,
you must not be doing anything."
