The two previous posts are videos about the upcoming Ben Stein movie Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed. I tried to get all three of these posts into one, but I couldn't figure it out so here you go--Four posts in one week. Shocked? So are we...
If you have the time, watch the longer of the two videos below. If you're short on time, watch the short one. If you have any time at all, check out one or both of the following websites:

First of all, I have never considered myself a political activist by any means, no matter how addicted I get to Fox News and no matter how much time I spend reading about the current presidential race.
Second of all, I don't consider the debate between Intelligent Design and evolution to be political. Neither do I consider it to be a matter of science vs. faith. Any debate on the origin of the universe cannot be considered science because the origin of the universe cannot be observed. Evolution cannot be observed becuase it happens too slowly. Intelligent Design cannot be observed because it happened before any of us got on this planet. In other words, no matter what you believe, there's faith involved.
- faith [feyth] –noun
1. confidence or trust in a person or thing
2. belief that is not based on proof
As a Christian, there has never been a question of where I stand on this issue; especially considering that the Bible is more historically accurate than many history books. But even if I wasn't a Christian, the evidence is substantially in favor of Intelligent Design. Many people refuse to believe that this is true. They believe that it's just not possible. That's where this film comes in. Watch it, if for nothing else, to be able to defend yourself against evolution more effectively. Watch it so that you have a gateway to a conversation about God. Watch it to know that we aren't alone!
