What an amazing turn of events! Just when it seemed the intelligent design movement was in retreat, out came the remarkable documentary film Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed. It is fascinating to watch Hollywood celebrity, author and former law professor Ben Stein travel around the world and interview many of the chief proponents of intelligent design or evolution.
The movie gives a balanced overview of the intelligent design/evolution controversy and shows how scientists, professors and teachers who have backed intelligent design have been relentlessly persecuted by their peers for questioning Darwinism.
Why is this happening? It's time to ask some hard questions about this controversial issue that impacts the social, moral, scientific and religious underpinnings of our world. After all, it is not going away.
A rose is a rose by any other name
What is evolution? It's a simple question, but there are dozens of answers. Here is the first problem in the evolution/intelligent design debate-how to agree on the meaning of the terms.
Evolution can mean something as simple as "change over time," or it can be an all-encompassing explanation of the entire universe, as Sir Julian Huxley once postulated: "The earth was not created; it evolved. So did all the animals and plants that inhabit it, including our human selves, mind and soul as well as brain and body. So did religion" (The Humanist Frame, 1961, p. 18).
As you can immediately see, the implications of what he said on our worldview and beliefs are enormous. This is why it is so important to establish the right definitions about the issue at hand. In Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland sequel Through the Looking Glass, the fantasy character Humpty-Dumpty said, "'When I use a word, it means just what I choose it to mean-neither more nor less.'" So definitions can be very subjective-and sometimes deceptive.
