Cracking the 'elitist' door open...

My oldest son, a college senior, and I went yesterday afternoon to see it and we both enjoyed it very much. Although it is a documentary, I thought it entertaining as well. I've come to appreciate Ben Stein over the years as an incredibly intelligent guy and this film only serves to solidify that thought. He does a great job of giving plenty of time to both viable "theories" of the origin of man; namely, the Darwinist evolutionary theory and intelligent design.
As I've had time to digest this film overnight, it's become increasingly fascinating to me that seemingly intelligent men and women of academia have such a steely grip on a theory (Darwin) that has never been proven and refuse to allow the existence of any other theory for either the origin of life or its continuance. That Richard Dawkins, a man whose agitation becomes so violent at the mere suggestion of the possibility of any other theory, would, in the last ten minutes of the film, concede that "intelligent design" is, in fact, plausible but only via the existence of "highly evolved beings" from outer space more than uncovers the curtain that shrouds this charade that continues to be presented as fact to our children. Wake up, people! Cheers and kudos to Ben Stein and the producers of this film who dare to boldly stand up and proclaim the "emperor's not wearing any clothes"! I encourage everyone to go buy a ticket and watch this film. It will further expose the "man behind the curtain" and, hopefully, allow open-minded thinking to thrive in our classrooms and bastions of higher education!
Yes, I recommend this movie.
