Expelled »

I have not seen Ben Stein's recent film Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed, so this information is secondhand until/unless I see the movie. And I doubt I'd pay money to view it.

Apparently, the film tries to find a tenuous link between evolutionary biology and the Holocaust. Scientific American has a great and coherent review of the film. Such a comparison, which reminds me of PETA's infamous Holocaust campaign, is offensive. It should be especially offensive to a well-educated man like Stein—a Jew himself who probably had relatives die because of the Holocaust—who should know better than to use such blatant emotional exploitation as the basis of an arugment.
