Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed is a controversial documentary film about intelligent design. Starring Ben Stein, it is due to be released in February 2008. The film claims that intelligent design proponents are discriminated against by the scientific community, repeats the creationist claim that evolution is a belief-system rooted in dogma, and resurrects the Sternberg peer review controversy.
Although not yet released, the film is being touted by Christian, pro-creationism movie sites, and by organizations affiliated with the Discovery Institute, the leading promoter of the intelligent design campaign. The DI website, Intelligent Design the Future, makes the claim that Expelled "reveals the stark truth: Darwinists have been conspiring to keep design out of classrooms, out of journals, and out of public discourse."
Website
There is a website associated with the movie; including trailers, additional material, press articles, and a blog.
The blog's first entry was an open letter from Ben Stein which explains his personal premise for the movie. Stein utilizes arguments based on freedom of inquiry, teleology and the beliefs of historically prominent scientists. He also accuses the modern American scientific establishment as being "a new anti-religious dogmatism"
The website also asks for submissions of personal "EXPELLED" stories. Submissions containing tales of discrimination against students for suggesting design and/or questioning Darwinian theory, with the enticement that a winning story, or stories will be featured in the film.
Tired of being labeled merely for questioning aspects of the Darwinian theory of evolution? Ever been scoffed at or ridiculed in front of your peers? ... You and your story just might be chosen by our producers to be in the film, “Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed”! Let your voice be heard!
