EXPELLED (No Intelligence Allowed)

[Green Jets & Ham]

Narrator: Ben Stein

No matter how you feel about GOD, religion, science or Darwin, be a soldier for academic freedom. Don't let a small subset of intellectual snobs tell you how and what to think and which ideas are off limits. Thats not education, its indoctrination.

Higher education should encourage the free and open exchange of ideas, and let the best ideas prevail.

Freedom never suppresses ideas and punishes free thinkers. That is always the first sign of a creeping totalitarianism.

 

[Green Jets & Ham]

Fascinating interview in four parts. Its not for the short attention span crowd, but its fascinating and worth your time if you are interested in the history of science (from Isaac Newton to the aggressive materialists as typified by Richard Dawkins), what lies at the heart of this debate, and an explanation of ID, not the propaganda (i.e. its creationism masquerading as science), but what it actually is and the actual arguments that it makes:

If you watched the documentary (Expelled) you saw Dr. David Berlinski discussing his issues with Darwin, but here he goes more in-depth, and pay attention to his credentials at the beginning, this man is no lightweight:

Berlinski discusses his book:

The Devils Delusion: Atheism and its Scientific Pretensions:

In the above four part interview with Stephen Meyer, he discusses the cosmos.

Here he discusses the origin of life by explaining the cell and all that it entails, particularly the DNA molecule and digital code or what his book refers to as the 'signature in the cell', as well as the highly complex machinery, and what (if any) are the implications for these discoveries. If you have a short attention span or no real interest in the topic, this is not for you, but if you do, this conversation, in my view, is even more fascinating than his conversation about the cosmos:
