    Outstanding article written by Roger Ebert reviewing the dishonesty and ignorance found in the movie "Expelled".

    From the page: "Evolution involves holding onto your winnings and investing them wisely. You don't even have to know to how to hold onto your winnings. Evolution does it for you; it is the bank in which useful genetic mutations deposit themselves. There is a very slow rate of return, but it's compounded. At the end of one eon, you get your bank statement and find your pittance has grown into an orang utan. At the end of the next eon, it has grown into Charles Darwin. Scientists, at least 99.875 percent of them, believe that in the long run only useful mutations deposit in this bank. Those mutations with no use, or a negative effect, squander their savings in a long-running bunko game, and die forgotten in the gutter."

    Roger Ebert, the film critics' critic, gives media twerp Ben Stein a scathing review. For those unaware, Ben Stein sold his soul long ago to write speeches for Nixon, before becoming a bit-part movie actor and gameshow host. I grant Stein an exemption from evolution. Intellectually and ethically, he still dwells in the primordial sludge at the bottom of the sea.

    Absolutely stunning review. No wonder it took him 8 months to write this one.

    The last paragraph really clinched it for me. How nice of Stein to exploit "his own people" for gain.

    From the page: "Oh, go ahead, Ben Stein. Describe. It filled you with hatred for Charles Darwin and his followers, who represent the overwhelming majority of educated people in every nation on earth. It is not difficult for me to describe how you made me feel by exploiting the deaths of millions of Jews in support of your argument for a peripheral Christian belief. It fills me with contempt."
