  • In American society, there has been an intense debate between " Darwin's theory of evolution " and "Intelligence design theory" for a long time, and this debate is going on at the same time in academic, cultural, legal, religious and other aspects. 
    "Intelligence Design Theorists" firmly believe that nature is designed by Intelligence, they have devout religious feelings about nature, and have their own logic of argument: the world - especially the structure of living organisms - is so complex, beautiful and harmonious, They cannot be random and naturally formed, but can only be purposefully created by Intelligence designers. However, contemporary academia has paid less and less attention to these voices, and is using the means in "theory of evolution" to deal with these dissents, that is, "the unwell, do not survive".

      Beware of the delusional propaganda of "Intelligent Design Theory"!

      At that time, I thought that this film really provided reliable scientific evidence for the "intelligent design theory", especially the connection between the evolution theory and the Nazi Holocaust dealt a fatal blow to its moral consciousness (yes, yes, aside This is what a Darwinian world of the jungle that abandons the standard of the Creator will become).

      Yet all this so-called scientific evidence and social-historical facts are nothing more than propaganda that has been...

      an unphilosophical thought

      In addition to science and superstition, this film connects design theory with God, which itself is for the fair development of creation theory, a thing that has existed for thousands of years and continues to develop.

      But it made me think about another question. Is the rebuttal to let the other type not exist? The mainstream is not necessarily correct. In my eyes, things compete for natural selection, and this world makes it easier for exciting things to exist. This process is long...

      A little bit of comment in SSS

      By now you've probably heard of "Expelled", the new Ben Stein anti-evolution crocumentary. It officially opens today, as I speak that's April 18th. Of my job, I've had the misfortune of sitting through this film twice now, at least I was getting paid. The film tries very hard to connect Darwin with the Holocaust. Toward the end Stein reads the following quote from the book Descent of Man "with savages, the weak in body or mind, are soon eliminated, we civilized man, on the other hand, do our...

      There is no merit in science, but there are many bright spots in publicity

      Written in front of the words: truth is a kind of propaganda.

      Even a film like "Will-Will-Victory", which is absolutely evil in content, is very successful in publicity. For this film, I just want to see the promotion strategy of this film.

      Highlights:
      1. It does not directly advocate how correct the theory of intelligent design is, but presents design theory as an option to the audience;
      2. The induction of Dawkins is very successful. Dawkins in the film is in Ben...

      Wearing tinted glasses to criticize tinted glasses

      I thought it was okay before, but after checking the profile of Ben Stein, I felt extremely disgusting. He was originally a staunch creationist, and this movie became a prejudice to criticize prejudice, and it also used the guise of academic freedom. It's disgusting to promote his argument. When a reporter in Vancouver asked him about so many criticisms of his film, he actually replied: It's none of their fucking business. A typical American religious nuts! I hope this kind of people will stop...

      The rhetoric and rhetoric, and from a seemingly neutral point of view, are just another peaceful propaganda of pseudo-scientific theory. ....

      Poorly made propoganda. This film commits a number of documentary film making sins! This film is a perfect example of how not to do a...

      Garbage, the editing is too obvious, every time scientists talk about the main point, they cut the voiceover. This is a shame for the documentary...

    Behind the scenes gags

    This is a very controversial film. Some media claimed that "it made the creation theory that once made waves in the United States greatly face, and made Darwin's theory of evolution suffer a cold winter", and some scientists angrily rebuked: "This is a very, very fake, boring and lack of art work." These controversies are due to on the content of the documentary. This film touches on a very sensitive topic: the debate between "Darwin's...

    Movie quotes

    • David Berlinski: Before you can ask is Darwinian Theory correct or not, you have to ask the preliminary question, is it clear enough so that it could be correct. That's a very different question. One of my prevailing doctrines about Darwinian Theory is: man that thing is just a mess. It's like looking into a room full of smoke. Nothing in the theory is precisely, clearly, carefully defined and delineated. It lacks all of the rigor one expects from Mathematical Physics. And Mathematical Physics lacks all of the rigor one expects from Mathematics. So we're talking about a gradual decent down the level of intelligibility, until we reach Evolutionary Biology. We don't even know what a species is, for heaven sakes!

    • Michael Egnor: There's nothing to be learned in neurosurgery by assuming an accidental origin for the parts of the brain we work on.

    • Ben Stein: We are losing our freedom in one of the most important sectors of society: science. I have always assumed that scientists were free to ask any question, to pursue any line of inquiry, without fear of reprisal. But recently I've been alarmed to discover that this is not the case.
