Yes! I loved the part at the end where Dawkins’ ‘logic’ was exposed! I’d absolutely recommend this documentary as well. When it comes out on DVD, I will definitely be getting it.

It is astounding that Dawkins doesn’t think past aliens’ starting the ball rolling to ask, “Where did the aliens come from?”

Nancy, that was my favorite part of the movie too. He seemed to think himself and his views so invincible at that point of the interview that he let down his guard.

_Expelled_ came to a regular movie theater in our town (Huntington, WV) in April, I think. Or maybe it was May. I was surprised but happy that it played in a smallish town like ours. Another movie along the same lines is _The Privileged Planet_ based on the book by Jay Richards and Guillermo Gonzales. (Gonzales was one of the professors from _Expelled_ who lost his job because of his belief in ID. He’s now at Grove City College in PA.) We got it from Netflix. It’s fascinating!

In Salem, OR Expelled came to our big movie theater in May and I saw it with my highschool science class. I really enjoyed it too. We all got a chuckle out of the alien answer and I thought that the Berlin Wall analogy was pretty powerful. I don’t know if our city was a special case in the showing schedule, but even if you have to wait for the DVD, I agree it’s worth the watch.

Near’s I can figure from the Expelled website, the film is showing only for privately arranged engagements. And near’s I can tell from IMDB’s showtime listings, Moscow, Idaho, and Appleton, Wisconsin, are the only two towns where that’s happening today, and that it leaves Moscow tomorrow. So I think most of us are going to have to wait for the DVD.

OK- Mrs. Wilson. So, we’ve been wanting to anyway, so with your recommendation we went to look at where this movie is playing, and it’s NOT anywhere in town. Now, I know that Spokane is a little bigger than Moscow, but did you see it at the cheap theater for older movies, or is Moscow, Idaho really that far behind the times?!

Nancy-Thanks so much for posting about this! Shortly after I had read your post and expressed interest in seeing this to my mother-in-law, she received a phone call from someone offering free passes to see it this evening! I wouldn’t have even thought to go see it if I hadn’t read your blog first! It was well worth the solo trip to the Kenworthy:)

This was an excellent film-I saw it in the spring before it ended its run in our local theaters. We took a group of high school students to view it as well-they were intrigued and (I think) enjoyed Ben Stein’s treatment of the subject.
