1. Science is not philosophy

I was just thinking; if the thesis of the film is that people who believe in ID are being laughed out or "expelled" from the scientific community-- it seems the question isn't really whether or not that's true, but if it would actually be a bad thing. If one argues that the media is skewed a bit toward the secular-- why do we need to argue that it isn't? I think a better arguement might be that it isn't skewed ENOUGH. People can say or believe what they like, but we don't have to give equal time and credence to every cockimaimy idea. Personally I wouldn't have known about "Expelled" if not for Richarddawkins.net, but trailers for "Religulous" are readily available. That's how it ought to be. Maybe we should make an "Expelled II," outlining why scientists who believe in God should not be taken seriously.
