What's this?

This is not a thesis topic...

This is not a fictitious declaration of independence...

This is not going to be about Jonathan Edwards (sorry, Dan)...

This IS... just a thought...

I went to see Expelled in the movie theaters Friday night after Home Bible Study, and I think it is a very worthwhile movie. It is not a Christian movie, so don't go with the expectation of such. It is simply a movie that exposes some of the characteristics of some of the more prominent evolutionists.

Ben Stein did a great job in putting the movie together. Now, from what I understand, he may not have been totally honest with the evolutionists when he approached them for an interview. The story goes that he told them that he was doing a movie on the disconnect in America between religion and science, or something like that. A New York Times article can be found here about it. Well, the evolutionists got a bit upset about that. They would not have taken part in a movie like what was produced! Apparently, they wouldn't say those things if they were going to be presented in a negative light.

But, why not say them? I mean, the purpose of this movie shows that there is a silencing of critics of evolution. By the evolutionists saying that they wouldn't say the same things had they known, just goes to demonstrate the point better that they do have something to hide!

I'm rambling... Here's the thought: Make sure that you mean what you say, and that you can defend what you say. If there is some doubt to what you are saying, then do not say it as if it were fact. Otherwise, you may look silly like Richard Dawkins, and say things like, "No, there can be NO God, of course not! ...but, Yes, maybe aliens seeded life on earth. But, NO GOD!" Or like the other scientist in the movie who suggested that life may have begun on crystals. That's just a theory though :)

Well, it is good to be back. I'm not making promises that it will be daily yet, but I'm here!

Just a thought...
