“Expelled” Exposed Website
The National Center for Science Education has a new website, Expelled Exposed, that will serve as a response to the claims made by the antievolutionists in the “Expelled” movie coming out in April.
Right now it is pretty sparse, but once the movie is released expect a lot more content.
It should be noted for the official record that…every allegation made on EXPELLED EXPOSED is entirely incorrect.
It isn’t “opinion”…it is “falsehood.”
Fortunately, the film EXPELLED will be its own refutation…and the “EXPOSED” site will serve as proof-positive of the depths to which Big Science will sink.

Let’s see… there are three reviews and three other links so far.
First review by Dan Whipple says:
The first review is right, and “Expelled” is wrong. We can check the various claims made about Sternberg, and “Expelled” gets things wrong.
The second review by Roger Moore is substantially weaker overall, but still says this about “Expelled”:
The third review by Leonard Pierce, like the second, doesn’t engage the movie on the details, but does say:
The other three links take up other issues.
Cornelia Dean’s article examines the dodgy tactics used to obtain interviews with scientists for the movie. Basically, the producers said that the movie was of a different title and had a different topic. This is true stuff, and even the “Expelled” producers have not tried to deny that this is how they roped in Richard Dawkins, Eugenie Scott, and PZ Myers for their movie.
There’s also the bit from one of the producers where Dean had the temerity to check with someone named in a claim:
Looks like Collins says the “Expelled” team got it wrong… I’m not surprised.
The second link takes up the promotional tactics for the “Expelled” movie, where Aaron Elias notes:
I’ve written about this myself. The article is right. “Expelled” is being promoted via a kickback scheme, and one that is likely to leave a lot of dissatisfaction in its wake.
The Robert McHenry article delves into the poor logic and scholarship in Ben Stein’s claims about history and Darwin.
I think that the criticisms of “Expelled” seen on the “Expelled Exposed” site are easily seen to be supported by the available evidence.
Exposed is mainly about censorship, the idea of questioning Darwinism without having one’s career ruined. Not surprisingly, it has opened the door for public debate on the matter.
The film hasn’t even come out yet, a selected few has seen a private showing, but yet there is a website about exposing it. Some liberal groups have tried to put pressure on theaters not to show it. Do you know why there so much stir among hardcore Darwinists about this film? There are afraid it will encourage skepticism of the dogma of Evolution.
Now I take it, most Evolutionists would shun or even laugh at the idea of a person who claimed to create a ball of energy out of nothing, correct? After all, it sounds more like magic than science, right? But Evolutionists take it even further, they claim the Universe was created out of nothing by chance, and it’s not witchcraft, it’s not God who was able to do that, but chance they say so it makes it science…lol
In all do respect, anything that is able to be created out of nothing is supernatural whether it’s chance or harry potter, or God, it’s supernatural. Because it defies the laws of physics. This concept ought to be questioned, this sort of debate ought to be publish in science magazines without having the fear of loosing their jobs or instead of going on witch hunts by putting pressure on theaters not to show anything that may favor creationism. Or worry about a film exposing censorship.
What I just proposed against Evolution is more scientific than the theory of something that can be created out of nothing. Perhaps Darwinists are unable to explain that is perhaps why they focus on other things…
THE FIRST LAW OF THERMODYNAMICS
Defines energy as a mass which cannot be created out of nothing, and can be changed from one form to another but the total amount remains the same.
THE SECOND LAW OF THERMODYNAMICS
All systems will tend toward the most mathematically probable state, and eventually become totally random and disorganized. Albert Einstein said this law would be impossible to eliminate.
“Do you know why there so much stir among hardcore Darwinists about this film? ”
I think people interested in countering misinformation are stirred up because even in the snippets released broadly so far one can find an abundance of mendacious material in the “Expelled” stuff.
That said, I am not one who advocates trying to block distribution of the film.
There seems to be some confusion in antievolution circles… well, there’s a lot of confusion there, but one confused point that’s relevant in this context is that evolutionary science and cosmology are not the same thing. What Michael “proposed” is an instance of this confusion.
So, Michael, what exactly is the point of listing laws that aren’t any issue at all for the theories of evolutionary science? Does Michael has some notion that the second law of thermodynamics prohibits evolution? That would be yet another deployment of a tired old bogus long-rebutted antievolution argument.
