Ben Stein is Producing an "Intelligent Design" Movie

Imagine pulling the lever of a slot machine and the only way to win is to hit the jackpot two hundred and fifty times in a row. The odds are against you. Yet, these are the same odds that would have to be overcome for the simplest life-form to evolve and form each of the two hundred and fifty proteins by random chance. It’s seemingly impossible.

Little was known about the complexities of a single cell when Darwin birthed his theory of evolution. Microscopes weren’t yet powerful enough to observe below the cellular level of life; and thus, the concept of a single cell was like that of a mud hut—very simple.

Today we are learning more and more about what it takes for life to form. Beyond the statistical improbabilities of evolution, we’ve learned that the single cell is not at all like a mud hut; but rather, more complex than a galaxy. In fact, for a dinosaur to evolve a single wing, all five systems in a cell would have to change identically at the same time—something that Darwin could never have imagined.

So, the complexities of the single cell quickly lead us beyond Darwin, or so that’s where research scientist Dr. Richard Sternberg thinks the evidence leads. Yet, when he gave credit to intelligent design in a Smithsonian science journal, he found himself the object of a massive campaign to smear his reputation. But Sternberg’s not the only one: multitudes of scientists who begin questioning Darwin’s theory of evolution are quickly “shut-up” by their employers, the media, the educational system, and even the courts.

Ben Stein, former Presidential speech writer, public speaker, and game show host sought to uncover why scientists are losing their jobs, can’t get tenure, or are denied publication in scientific journals when Darwinism is questioned. He quickly found that evolutionists would rather believe we are “nothing more than mud animated by lightning” than to believe humankind carries “the spark of the divine.” Disturbed by his findings, Stein is going on record with a major theater release, interviewing numbers of scientists who were openly ridiculed and ostracized for even suggesting intelligent design. The film, fittingly titled Expelled, is scheduled for a wide theater release in April.
