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 Stern's Under pressure, he seemed so cramped and anxious, like a tyrant with an autocratic thought being challenged;
3. When Stern got lost on the way to the "Discovery Institute", he asked for directions and greeted passersby, which was so lifelike Now, this "simple" old man is too easy to attract good impressions; (I suspect that these shots are staged)
4. All those who have been victimized by supporting or teaching creationism can win the group performance award, they behave calmly and Reasonable, in sharp contrast to the aggressiveness of "scientific authority";
5. The entire film does not require the audience to accept design theory, but only excuses the freedom of academic and speech, but the implication is obvious, since freedom is so important, then It is also a natural consequence of accepting the reasonable status of design theory
; , "hopeless", the life of taking the initiative to choose to end before the disease devours the body, it is too cold and cruel, people can't help but want to fall into the arms of God, the existence of God is too warm for people, although I agree with Provine It is the truest truth of life that I can understand. We are like 99.9% of other species that have died out. We just exist and then disappear. Our existence has no deep meaning at all. According to my understanding, the criticism of the crisis of modernity and the existence of modern material desires and alienation of personality begins with the criticism of this view. To find new, universal and ultimate values ​​for people, it is only a matter of For now, there seems to be no progress.

Disadvantages:
1. Ben's speech at the end of the film can be seen by a fool as a play;
2. The citations to Darwin are obviously flawed, and some words are secretly deleted; (what is deleted? http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Notable_Charles_Darwin_misquotes )
3. The mood of the "scientific authorities" in the film The outbursts are so unnatural that one can't help but speculate that these interviews were heavily edited;
