"I saw EXPELLED: No Intelligence Allowed and thought it
was tremendous! The sheer intellect on the ID (Intelligent Design) side of the
debate clears the notion of 'fairy tales' and the honesty of famous atheists
like Richard Dawkins and his minions is shocking. Ben Stein does an excellent
job using humor, tenacity, and personal passion to expose the anti-God,
anti-American, Big Science agenda, linking - Kirk
Cameron "Ben Stein's EXPELLED: No Intelligence Allowed packs a
powerful and entertaining punch that will shake the foundations of - Pat
Robertson "Comedian, raconteur, Ben Stein hit the nail right on
the funny bone with EXPELLED: No Intelligence Allowed. He presents a solid case
for giving the theory of Intelligent Design a respected place in the classroom
alongside issues, but thinking people should agree that there is no
place for censorship in our institutions of higher learning. I'd bet Dick
Rolfe's money on this one!" - Dick
Rolfe “Everything I have read about the upcoming movie EXPELLED:
No Intelligence Allowed confirms the value of this film for parents and
children’s ministry leaders. Our society has been far too silent regarding the
teaching of evolution in our schools as if it is fact. Our society has not been
allowed to hear both sides of the story. Scientists who have researched the
evidence of intelligent design have not had a voice or been limited in where
they can publish their findings until now. I hope every Director of Children’s
Ministry and Children’s Pastor will see this movie and encourage their
volunteers and families in their churches to see this movie. Let’s not let this
film come and go without facilitating the positive impact it can have for our
children.” - Judy
Comstock “I urge everyone not to miss EXPELLED: No Intelligence
Allowed.’ I found it riveting, eye-opening, and even astonishing. Ben
Stein does a masterful job of exposing the ruthlessness of evolutionists who
will go after anyone who challenges or merely questions Darwinian orthodoxy.
I was on the edge of my seat -- entertained yet instructed. This movie is
a must-see. Challenge school board members in your community to watch this
well-produced documentary. Even pay for their tickets, but get them there! Congratulations
to Ben Stein and the producers for the courage to create a much-needed
perspective on the erosion of freedoms in - Ken
Ham “EXPELLED: No Intelligence Allowed peels back the layers of
academic veneer, exposing the evangelistic atheism at the heart of the public
promotion of Darwinian evolution. This film should forever put to rest the idea
that people who believe in intelligent design are ignorant Neanderthals.
Rather, they are prominent, published scholars and scientists who dare to
follow the evidence – even when it leads to the acknowledgement that this world
did not arise merely by some random combination of time plus chance plus
matter. They are scientists committed to the truth, even if it costs them their
livelihoods. For those who think that the debate over - Marc T. Newman "In EXPELLED: No Intelligence Allowed, Ben Stein shows
us what happens when academic freedom takes a day off. We should all be
listening." - Carl Anderson "Thank you for triggering a cultural earthquake
through EXPELLED: No Intelligence Allowed. When I saw it, I was
stunned, amazed, shocked, entertained, enlightened,
moved, and overwhelmed! The Berlin Wall theme was brilliantly
executed and fully vindicated by the interviews. Everyone I talked to
after the screening used words like "fabulous" and
"incredible." Congratulations to everyone who contributed
to this masterpiece." - Dr.
Tom Woodward "Embracing and endorsing chaos devalues all aspects of
life. EXPELLED: No Intelligence Allowed reveals that truth and scientific
discovery has been disregarded by the guardians of atheistic Darwinism. Thank
God for a few courageous individuals who dare to ask the difficult questions
with no fear of the real answers." - James
Robison “Ben Stein’s film, EXPELLED: No Intelligence Allowed, makes
a powerful case for “Intelligent Design” in explaining the origins of life and
the creation of the universe. It also exposes an entrenched and aggressive
Darwinist establishment in academia that suffocates all competing points of
view. Highly qualified professors and scientists who dare to
question evolutionary orthodoxy are systematically excluded or summarily
dismissed. It is political correctness run amuck on university campuses. Stein
sets out on a mission to find out why I.D. is most often expelled from the
public square, and what he discovers in this riveting documentary is incredibly
enlightening. I recommend the film enthusiastically.” - James
C. Dobson “This is an enormously important project and I am so proud
of the fact that Ben Stein, who is a national treasure, is part of it. People know that there is a dictatorial
impulse at work in the land to shut down even the most elementary questioning
of this unquestionable belief in random evolution and the American people don’t
like being told by their ‘betters’ what they are supposed to believe.” - Michael
Medved “EXPELLED: No Intelligence Allowed is a wry, funny,
well-crafted documentary. Ben Stein’s quest for truth is often laugh-out-loud
funny. Atheists might want to go out of their way to stop this movie by buying
up theaters and perhaps even buy out the distribution itself because EXPELLED:
No Intelligence Allowed may undermine them and bring an end to the academic
gulag. Perhaps they should also see the movie so they can come up with more
viable arguments than the ones Ben Stein exposes with his careful questioning.”
- Ted
Baehr “Something we all need to ask ourselves in life is ‘What am
I here for?’ You know, if we are just ‘lucky mud’ then these questions don’t
mean much at all. But there is a God and he did create us. So if the Ben Stein
movie is asking these questions and if somebody is keeping us from finding out
the great answers to the great questions - then maybe they are more than just
questions. Maybe they are questions with
eternal consequences.” - Peter
Furler "If you seek intellectual integrity, see EXPELLED: No
Intelligence Allowed. If you enjoy thought-provoking conversation, bring
a friend. If you value free speech, tell everyone you know to meet you at
the movies and spend an alarming evening with Ben Stein. EXPELLED:
No Intelligence Allowed could easily be one of the most
important movies of the year." - Denny
Rydberg “Ben Stein does a great job in this film of showing us this
controversy, of how we have lost freedom in our academic inquiry, how
scientists are intimidated and have even lost their jobs. Something needs
to be done about this and this film is a great example of what can be done.
Ben Stein has done his part…. There are things that you can do to help,
SEE THIS FILM, bring your friends and bring your church.” - Lee
Strobel “EXPELLED: No Intelligence Allowed blows the lid off the
heavy-handed tactics within the scientific community to crush dissenters who
dare to question Darwinism. Ironically, their actions illustrate the dark side
of Darwinism. This entertaining yet sobering documentary reveals why civilized societies
cannot progress if held captive by Darwinian philosophy, and will decline from
moral and just societies to brutal oppression.” - Wendy Wright “EXPELLED: No Intelligence Allowed is a powerful and riveting film which exposes the Darwinian cover-up of the alternative theory of intelligent design. The campaign of suppression against any rational alternative to evolution is real. With this film, however, evolution’s monopoly on science is officially in jeopardy, and the secularists know it. That’s why they already hate EXPELLED: No Intelligence Allowed, and that’s why every open-minded person will love it.” - Rev. Donald E.
Wildmon “We had a chance to see a private, pre-screening of Ben
Stein’s upcoming film, EXPELLED: No Intelligence Allowed. The movie follows
Ben’s heroic and shocking journey in which he discovers that students,
educators and scientists are being ridiculed and even fired – for the ‘crime’
of merely believing that there is Evidence of ‘Design’ in Creation (God), and
that perhaps life is not just the result of accidental, random chance. The movie is powerful...shocking....intense....humorous
at times....well worth seeing. This message must be given to the next
generation or else....” - Jack
Brown “EXPELLED: No Intelligence Allowed offers a compelling
examination of an important topic for everyone who values the freedom to
explore ideas that challenge conventional wisdom. Ben Stein has given us
a powerful documentary about the widespread repression of faith-friendly
scientific scholarship. Along the way, he also makes a strong case for a return
to civil discourse in a time when political correctness often overshadows the
search for truth. EXPELLED: No Intelligence Allowed is an engaging film that
features a winning combination of humor and reason with just the right tone
needed to bring its significant story to the worldwide audience.” - Ronald
D. Ellis, Ph.D. “Propaganda molds minds in a very direct way and that is the
logjam in this situation, which the Ben Stein movie, EXPELLED: No Intelligence
Allowed, by being entertaining, seeks to break through. I wish it well – I hope under God it will
have a great effect just at that point.” - Dr
J.I. Packer “Having worked with Ben Stein the columnist as far back as
30 years ago at the Los Angeles Herald Examiner, it was a special thrill to see
him pick apart political correctness run amok in the science community. EXPELLED:
No Intelligence Allowed is both an eye-opening documentary and riotous
entertainment. It’s what you would expect from Michael Moore after being
injected with a truth serum.” - Joseph
Farah “Finally, someone has exposed the head-in-the-sand reaction
of mainstream academia when it comes to intellectual honesty and the
theological implications of modern science. This film is a wonderfully
crafted gift to this needy culture. My only regret is that I didn’t make
this film!” - Ed
Flanagan “It is an important, relevant issue that sits just under the surface for many people in this country and Ben Stein is shining a spotlight on Darwinism and all its faults. That is worthy of our time. Thanks, Ben.” - Neil
Master “I want to thank you for your film, EXPELLED: No
Intelligence Allowed. I appreciate that
you took a thoughtful and sometimes humorous look at a very serious
issue. In the cultural debate, there are few things more important than
our concept of the origin of life, yet this very topic is suffering from the
tyranny of censorship and honest argumentation and has been expelled from the
classrooms and laboratories. Honest people have no fear of the truth. Your
movie raises the question, ‘Why would there be such opposition to the idea of
Intelligent Design?’ For those who rejoice in the truth, there is nothing
to lose! If ID is wrong, a healthy
debate will point out its errors and if there are holes in - Curtis
Martin “It is rare to find a movie that is entertaining,
educational and motivational, but that is exactly what you get with Ben Stein’s
documentary, EXPELLED: No Intelligence Allowed. Ben puts on his sneakers
and interviews highly qualified scientists, academics and journalists who have
had their careers ruined because they dared to question the modern day creation
story of Darwinian evolution. Equally revealing are Ben’s interviews with the
leading academics behind the Darwinian establishment such as Richard Dawkins,
Daniel Dennett, William Provine and PZ Myers.
This movie only samples the tip of the iceberg of academic and intellectual
persecution in the land of ‘freedom’ and may trigger a cultural revolution as
more people are emboldened to tell their story and make a stand.” - Dennis
Wagner “As a media literacy
education specialist and film/television reviewer, I encourage critical
thinking, that is, the questioning of the status quo in all academic fields and
aspects of political and public life, religion, science, technology, the arts
and culture. The spirit of inquiry and its concrete expression is essential for
democracy to thrive. If this film
respects every human person's ability to think and to question, thereby
promoting our search for truth and meaning, it will renew the debate about
academic freedom by initiating a dialogue that inherently respects the dignity,
freedom, beliefs and opinions of all those who sit around the table - and
beyond it.” - Sister
Rose Pacatte “EXPELLED: No Intelligence Allowed has the potential to blow
the discussion about Intelligent Design wide open in our culture. Ben Stein’s
humor and wit entertain, inform and challenge. It’s high time someone called
the academic establishment out on this issue. Every high school and college
student (and their parents) need to see this movie!” - Greg Stier “I highly recommend Ben Stein’s upcoming film EXPELLED: No
Intelligence Allowed. We have personally met with Ben and have screened EXPELLED:
No Intelligence Allowed, and we found it to be compelling, insightful and
entertaining. EXPELLED: No Intelligence Allowed has the potential to generate a
major debate in the public square which could affect positive change for the
vast majority of Americans who believe that faith and science can co-exist, and
that true science points to the existence of our Creator. Pastors, teachers,
and other leaders must be educated on these issues in order to educate those
whom they lead. In addition, the film can be used by Christian students
to dialog and witness to friends about God’s involvement in creation and His
love for all of us who He created. I encourage you to see the film when
it hits - Rev.
Paul Cedar “Ben Stein did a great thing by combining several key issues
into his movie EXPELLED: No Intelligence Allowed. Free speech and
free thinking are at risk and so these have to be mentioned with
regards to a discussion of intelligent design and life's origin. But
further, can we be free to explore issues in the public classrooms today. What
if science data reveal something about our origins and THAT tells us something
smart about how we got here. As a Ph.D. biologist I'm thrilled to see
that we can challenge long standing dogma and set the record straight.
Did - Dr. T. Peterson “This was the most interesting and eye opening film I have seen in a decade. Ben Stein has some tough skin to put his neck on the line like this. I love it. This film is amazing.”
- Brock Gill “EXPELLED: No Intelligence Allowed is a documentary that
deals with two issues: academic freedom and intelligent design. It does an
excellent job of showing how professors in academia and journalists in the
media find themselves ‘expelled’ if they even give a hearing to
intelligent design. It also provides a concise and accurate picture of the
research behind intelligent design. As a talk show host I am often frustrated
by scientists who cannot communicate clearly. And as someone who has been
writing about the origins debate for over 30 years ago, I have been frustrated
about many presentations that are not accurate. EXPELLED: No Intelligence
Allowed avoids both of those mistakes and clearly informs the audience about
the nature of this debate.” - Kerby "It was fantastic! Thanks so much for inviting
me. I was very impressed with the message and how it was handled and how
the audience with many non-believers reacted so positively to the movie.
[I talk to several people who clearly were Christian or even religious.]
I have already started getting the word out at MBC. I talked about it in
two large classes on Sunday (about 100 people) and will talk about it again
this weekend at a Social (about 150 people). I will also let our
Apologetics group know for Creation." - Joseph Bardwell “I love Ben Stein. We worked together in politics many years ago. He’s a charming, engaging, and very bright guy. He’s on the right track here. What he’s doing in this film is extremely important because it is opening up an honest debate in the public square where people can hear reasoned arguments on both sides and make their own conclusions.” - Chuck Colson Radio Commentator, Founder of Prison Fellowship “EXPELLED: No Intelligence Allowed is earthshaking. I was absolutely blown away. Ben Stein boldly shines a light of honest inquiry revealing that evolution’s emperor has no clothes. It will have Darwin’s disciples scurrying for the shadows. Everyone in America, even skeptics of Intelligent Design, must see this film. They can’t possibly walk away without at least admitting that the debate over who we are and how we got here is far from over. The controversy will be intense, so get ready for a rollercoaster ride.” - J. Matt Barber Director for Cultural Issues, Concerned Women for America “Recently, our entire North America executive leadership team had the opportunity to preview Expelled. As we discussed the movie following the viewing there was unanimous agreement that the movie is very well done and clearly addresses the seemingly unending attack on those who reject the notion of evolution as the cause of our being; that is, evolution, simply defined as life emerging from the ooze. The pervasive bias of many academics against exploring the reality or non-reality of transcendence is pointedly evident in the film. Ben Stein has done an outstanding job of pulling together a cross section of interviews that point out the blatant discrimination against many in the scientific community who would embrace “intelligent design” or even more specific aspects of the reality of God. At the same time his interviews with avowed atheists is well done as he elicits responses that leave grave doubt regarding their position of absolute disbelief in a creator and/or God. We highly recommend the movie to anybody. It is not only informative and challenging—it is fun to watch.” - Ken Smitherman President, Association of Christian Schools International “It's no surprise to those of us trying to communicate the Good News that God is now excluded from most scientific discourse on campuses and in the media. We are seeing the consequences of locking matters of faith out of our classrooms. We applaud Ben Stein for casting light on today's challenges to academic freedom.” - Luis Palau President, Luis Palau Association |
