I had the opportunity to watch a preview of Expelled: no intelligence allowed. It was a very enlightening movie that was presented in a very mature fashion. I also, however think that if Christians want to be heard, we also need to be willing to listen. I have seen too many Christian arguments that have no thought behind them. I agree with my fellow Christians most of the time, but I still wish the debates we start would allow the opposing side the same respect we demand of them, as was presented in this movie.
What makes this movie so easy to relate to is the fact that it is not making a religious argument, but rather that the debate on evolution should have two sides. A one-sided debate is pointless and stifles growth and knowledge. I think anyone in favor of free speech and the freedom to think should watch this movie. Anyone who does not agree with the freedom of thought should continue to yell at people who don't agree with them, and should not be surprised when one day we give up entirely on searching for truth in favor of making the world fit our preconceived notions of how we think it should work.
