Expelled: No intelligence allowed, God and science

Created on: April 24, 2008   Last Updated: April 28, 2008

The movie "Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed," which came out Friday, April 18th, is about the suppression by science of the idea of design of the natural world. (Everyone but me today calls it "intelligent design" because that is the name of the movement the public hears about, but that term is redundant-"design" itself means an intelligent plan, as I now point out wherever I can, both to distinguish my own factual research findings from the arguments of the "ID" movement, and to emphasize that biologists who can hardly put together a paragraph without admitting the remarkable design in every living thing they study, are yet allowed to deny the scientific worth of "intelligent" design. Based upon what I now know about design in the natural world-which consensus science as well as most alternative researchers don't want you to know-the new standard of logical discourse in this matter should be that when you talk about design, you've already given away the store in the "intelligence" debate, and to pretend otherwise is simply incompetent logic. That is because the evidence for the worlds-encompassing design I found is overwhelming, supported as it is not only by the observable facts about the Earth, and the solar system, but by all of the ancient sacred testimonies of man, worldwide.)

One of the highlights of "Expelled," in the review articles written by "ID" proponents, was director and chief protagonist Ben Stein's interview of Richard Dawkins, the renowned atheist evolutionist. It seems Stein was flabbergasted to hear Dawkins admit that life on Earth could have been designed-but that in such case it would have been far more likely to have been the work of extraterrestrials than God.

This admission surprised ID'ers mightily, but it didn't surprise me, because what the world doesn't know is that I tried to inform Dawkins, and his associates at the web site www.edge.org, several months ago of the fact of the design I had found years ago, and for which I have been seeking public recognition, in order to avoid the endemic, unpublicized institutional suppression in science (although the authorities don't make much of a secret of it, but openly disclaim, and disdain, any scientific worth for the idea of design of the natural world). I am, as I have been through more than five years of struggle now, a nobody in the eyes of any of the major players who have engaged in the dogmatic debate over evolution and its critics.

I e-mailed Dawkins et al. at edge.org on January
