    Thoughts on Expelled

    I was looking at the arguments for the new Intelligent Design movie Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed when the complete misunderstanding of the theory of Natural Selection just about pushed me over the edge. I am always astounded that people continue to look at science as some sort of boogie man that's coming to take away your god. As usual, Carl Sagan summed it up best:
    How is it that hardly any major religion has looked at science and concluded, 'This is better than we thought! The Universe is much bigger than our prophets said, grander, more subtle, more elegant'? Instead they say, 'No, no, no! My god is a little god, and I want him to stay that way.' A religion, old or new, that stressed the magnificence of the Universe as revealed by modern science might be able to draw forth reserves of reverence and awe hardly tapped by the conventional faiths.
