I haven't seen any official posts for the new Ben Stein movie, "Expelled." Just wanted to get peoples thoughts on it since it comes out in April. Anyone planning on seeing it? Here is an overview of it.
http://www.expelledthemovie.com/
WHO
Ben Stein, in the new film EXPELLED: No Intelligence Allowed
WHAT
His heroic and, at times, shocking journey confronting the world’s top scientists, educators and philosophers, regarding the persecution of the many by an elite few.
WHEN
Coming to a theater near you on April 18, 2008
WHERE
Ben travels the world on his quest, and learns an awe-inspiring truth…that bewilders him, then angers him…and then spurs him to action!
WHY
Ben realizes that he has been “Expelled,” and that educators and scientists are being ridiculed, denied tenure and even fired – for the “crime” of merely believing that there might be evidence of “design” in nature, and that perhaps life is not just the result of accidental, random chance.
To which Ben Says: "Enough!" And then gets busy. NOBODY messes with Ben.

YES! Go see it!
I was priviliged to be involved in a private screening of this movie last month. The executive producers and directors were there and gave us some behind the scenes stories of the making of the movie and Ben Steins intent. We saw the producers' uncut version.
The movie is very thought provoking around the "debate" in the academic world of evolution vs. intelligent design (creationism). It is a documentary. Ben is on the side of creationism. Many professors have either lost their tenor and some even their jobs because they even uttered the words "intelligent design." They were NOT even teaching it during a classroom session.
Ben also interviews several scientists/professors who believe in evolution. One states we (humans) developed from the back of crystals. Another, from a mud-like puddle. (Can't remember exactly how he referred to it.)
The movie reminds us (the audience) of "selective design". Remember Hitler? Ben visits a couple of the concentration camps. This is a very touching part of the movie (Ben is Jewish).
I want to see it again because there was a lot of science-speak and I probably missed some good points.
I am glad to see that the publicity has already started. Please, everybody, go see it. Spread the word among your church membership, friends, etc.
The producers said the next subject Ben Stein wants to work on is abortion! Can't wait!

I hope this movie comes to the drive in. We have two children and that is the only way we get to see a movie.

I've been reading on certain blogs that it's going to be a limited release. Looking at about a 1,000 theaters total.

I really want to see this one too. Just heard yesterday that Ben Stein will be on the Focus on the Family broadcast on Monday (April 7th).

So does anyone know if Ben is simply an agnostic, a Jew, or a Christian?

Pretty sure he's not agnostic; He stated in the trailer that he believed God created everything.

According to Wikipedia, he was raised Jewish. There seems to be no further reference in the article to faith of any kind.

Ben Stein is Jewish.
I am currently getting a large group of people together to go see this movie; I think it is an important film, one all Christians should see.

Definitely going to see EXPELLED in theatres!!! The teens and college peeps I know love Ben Stein, so I'll likely have lots of company.
I saw an interview with him on FOX NEWS today about the movie.
It was followed by an interview about the pope's visit to the US and some statistics of the interest of this generation concerning a commitment/passion about God. I agree. I have seen a spiritual void as the govt has allowed special interest groups to strip our society of its Christian heritage and freedoms, and I have seen a generation come of age that is more focused about protecting that Godly heritage than mine was.
I think this movie was ordained by God and will open alot of eyes concerning many things.
Ironically my husband just gave me a new worship cd that we subscribe to and the title is WAKE UP! I am so proud of this generation for answering the call, and I'm so glad that my generation is partnering with people like Ben Stein who have determined to at least put the Truth out there. I have no doubt that if we put it out there, teens and college peeps will search it out with tremendous integrity and character because I see them asking God about stuff for themselves. There's a sifting and a sorting going on.
My generation was taken by surprise by the assault on Truth, and the God of Truth.
But this generation is savvy and sharp and can do intellectual/spiritual battle like nothing I have ever seen. They are returning to the word of God with a passion and a zeal that has only been talked about in times past. Not taking the word of pastors and people, but weighing it all and asking God for themselves. They seem sick of being spoon fed spiritual junk food, and they are craving the meat of all that matters. They are truly anointed and raised up for such a time as this. I love this generation!
sorry, got a little carried away there....
but wow, I'm very excited about this movie and the Godly voices I am hearing at every turn and in every venue of the world. God is saying something. He always is... but this generation is actually listening and hearing and doing stuff on a level that's never been done!!! There may be difficult days ahead for the Church, but there are guaranteed glorious ones that will overshadow all in the name of Christ. I'm not worried about the next generation of the Church so much anymore, cuz I'm seeing them put their hand in the hand of God and asking him to lead them in the big and the small.
Miracles are coming thru this generation.
The mustard seed has grown and bloomed and is full of branches.
Their faith in Christ is strong and getting stronger every day!

EXPELLED opens tonight in theaters!!!
I encourage every parent to buy the ticket for their teen and any of their teen's friends that they can afford to sponsor and send them to this movie. Not just teens but college students. Call your teen today and tell them to grab a friend and go... your treat. This movie is that important. We as parents cannot miss this open door to speak Truth into the lives of the next generation. The arts, the media are a key instrument in speaking into their lives. Here is a chance to remind them that while Darwin was brilliant, evolution remains pure theory. We must put Truth out on the table that there is another possibility.
We cannot miss this opportunity.
Not just teens but college students. Treat them to this movie, buy the tickets and hand them off to them. When they hear it's Ben Stein, they'll go. And attending on opening weekend will encourage future media to be a voice of Truth concerning such issues.
If you don't have a teen or college student of your own, then send someone elses. Buy the tickets and give them to some teens or twenty somethings that you know from church or work or something. Someone working at the coffee shop or waiting on your table.
I encourage every person concerned about the future generation to go to this movie and treat as many young adults to it as possible.

This is probably the first movie I've had the privilege to see on opening day. Very thought-provoking and well worthwhile!

I plan on seeing it but not till it goes to PPV. We only go to one movie a year and I want to see Indiana Jones.
I love Ben Stein. I liked his game show, his column in American Spectator, Monday Night at Mortons, all of it. (even his tv commercials!)

We saw it last night and enjoyed it very much. We were in a small theater, but it was packed.
