I'm going with hate. But what do I know, apparently willful ignorance sells!

@Spence: "But what do I know, apparently willful ignorance sells!"

Oh, I absolutely agree: horseshit liberal dogma used to rule at the box office for years.

Nikki Finke hilariously tried to spin the gross negatively in her column -- she was roundly (and quite correctly) called on it in her comments section.

For his next project he'll take on all the libtard horsesh#t about the earth being round. Jeez, if it was round we'd all fall off! Duh!
Then he can join the cast of The View.

Shitty documentary no one's heard of big with home-schoolers.

Oh, it's fun to hate and spew missives about a film I doubt any of you have even seen the trailers for, but if you're willing to watch whatever Spurlock and Moore have to spew, why not at least give Stein a chance?

Nah, it's more fun to dismiss his arguments out of hand.

Keep in mind of course you're completely reinforcing the hypothesis of the film.

@cinerama: Jackasssayswhat?

@cinerama: Reinforcing the hypothesis of the film that "intelligent design" is science? Do I need to see it to know that it's horseshit?

Besides, who knows if they'd even let my atheistic ass in to see it...sure, they "expelled" PZ Myers from a screening, but somehow let Richard Dawkins and his god-hatin' ass on through. (Now that's a vetting process!)

@DexterRiley, @cinerama:
So, the new name for genetic science is 'liberal horseshit'?
Looks like 'liberal horseshit' is now the broad general term applied to anything that is not in lockstep with right-wing religious ideology, no matter how liberal or conservative it truly is.
When you guys get what you wish for, and it is just a matter of time, because you guys are far more organized, driven and megalomaniacal, do remember times like these when you watch India and China pummel our asses and our standard of living crashes thru the floor.
While you're doing your little victory dance for smiting your online godless infidel foes, do try to recall just one civilization that prospered economically by pursuing religious dogma at the expense of science.

Believing in 'Intelligent Design' by definition makes you a moron.

That there are huge numbers of morons in America should be no surprise to anyone.

28% of the American public still approve of the Chimps' performance.

I rest my case...

@Crazydogggz: I do hope that those who reject the sound science behind the theory of evolution similarly reject other such theories - like, oh, gravity.

@cinerama: I haven't seen Moore's stuff or Spurlock's, but I still wouldn't go see this movie because I'm not retarded.

I'll take my science, you can have your invisible man in the sky.

@Crazydogggz:

There was a recent poll of American scientists that showed a majority of them believed in some sort of religious faith. The two ends of the spectrum aren't necessarily incompatible.

And if you knew anything about the marriages of science, business and religion in America's history, you'd find out that up until liberal ideology made it a sin to embrace all three, that was precisely the concoction that elevated America to its top-of-the-food-chain poll position.

That being said, your assumption that I'm somehow connected with either the right-wing (wrong) or religion (non-believing pagan) is incorrect -- but that's typical of fanatics on both sides.

@DexterRiley:

First: I certainly did not advocate for scientists to be atheists in my post.

Second: Why the gripe about pesky liberals interfering in science, business and religion to the detriment of American prosperity? The last eight years have seen the wane of liberalism in all three areas. And we are now in a recession.

Third: If Jesus's generals were so keen on bringing him and his father into all scientific theories, why specifically stay away from the non-biological sciences? 'And then the archangel Gabriel smoteth the nucleus of the atom and lo! verily the energy therein was a product of its mass and the square of the velocity of light in space. Alleluia.'

Fourth: Evolutionary theory has been a pet target of religious dogmatists since it was first conceived. The origins of these attacks on evolution are racist in nature. Many white people don't want to believe that their DNA has anything to do with apes because they associate apes and monkeys with black people. The only people denying evolution in the movie are white.

Fifth: Aren't Buddhists, Jews, Bahais, Hindus, Muslims, Bantu tribesmen, Sioux, Parsi fire-worshippers etc. feeling left out? I don't hear Ben Stein pressing any Brazilian shaman for his views on evolution. Oh right, said shaman is not Christian or American or Caucasian. So he's irrelevant to the great ethnocentric meeting of the minds. This movie is shilling specifically for the American religious right's self-serving delusions of being a persecuted minority.

@Crazydogggz:

Uh.....right. Okay, you win the argument.

(batshit crazy).

@DexterRiley: That's not very Godly of you.

Not even allowing Intelligent Design to be brought up in the face of mounting evidence that life on Earth is a random event is what's truly moronic.

Do a little research as to what is involved in even a single cell.

Then ask yourself if the hundreds of proteins necessary for its existence, if the structure of DNA strands, are likely to have just come together by random chance.

Some people think that Earth was "seeded" by extraterrestrials, but even that is in some ways easier to buy than the theory that something as incredibly complex as life, let alone much more complex forms of life, formed simply through the process of natural selection.

I don't care if you believe in a God, Great Spaghetti Monster or whatever, that shouldn't stop anyone from being able to bring up the point that Darwin's theories have huge holes you could pass planets through.

But bring up any of this and you're instantly a religious freak.

What are scientists afraid of that they're unwiling to even allow scientists who see there are big holes in Darwinism to speak their minds on the subject?
