About this product

Product Information

Though Ben Stein is perhaps most famous for his sleep-inducing drone in FERRIS BUELLER'S DAY OFF or for his eponymous game show, he is also a highly regarded New York Times columnist and was a speechwriter for both Richard Nixon and Gerald Ford during their presidencies. For EXPELLED: NO INTELLIGENCE ALLOWED, he needs all his powers of persuasion as he calls attention to the plight of exiled scientists and professors. In this documentary, Stein travels the world and speaks to men and women who have lost their jobs and their standings in the scientific world because of their association with intelligent design. EXPELLED uses the Berlin Wall as a metaphor and asserts that these people have been unjustly ousted, merely for speaking their minds. It carefully explains the differences between creationism and intelligent design and demonstrates that the latter is a belief held by people of all deity-based faiths, not just Christianity. It also devotes time to the connections between Darwinism and Hitler's regime. The film's climax features Stein going head-to-head with Richard Dawkins, a renowned atheist and author of the bestseller THE GOD DELUSION. Obviously, neither man budges in his firmly held beliefs, but it's fascinating to watch a debate between two undeniably intelligent men, regardless of whose side you're on.EXPELLED doesn't spend most of its time debating intelligent design and evolution. Instead it focuses largely on how the debate itself and its proponents have been ignored or pushed out of classrooms and academia. Filmmaker Nathan Frankowski inserts both original animations and clips of famous films (including PLANET OF THE APES and THE WIZARD OF OZ) to further illustrate his point. Though critics may find fault with EXPELLED for its one-sidedness, it's no more biased than any of Michael Moore's critically lauded documentaries.

  • Thought provoking

    The video is a thought provoking look at how society is taking away the right to openly believe in a creator. This issue is examined not from a particular religious viewpoint and is definitely worth watching. I would recommend the video even though I don't feel it was well done. At time, the music is too loud which makes it difficult to hear what is being said, there are irritating old video clips randomly inserted which don't add value to the movie and the people who are interviewed were not given enough time to adequately explain their positions.

  • A voice of reason

    Evolution as a concept should stand up to some question if it is a fact as taught theses days. Questions like, how did life begin? Are posed to the leading lights of intellectualism on both sides of the intelligent design/ evolution question and the results are compelling.

  • Outstanding Video

    Ben Stein has created an educational and informative video on the intellectual battle on Intelligent Design and evolution. I had NO idea how serious evolutionists regard their theory, and teach it as fact and that well respected academics got fired from their prestigious Universities from either writing or mentioning in their lectures the term "Intelligent Design". What was new thanks to this video is that the nazis used the philosophy of Darwinism to further their dark cause in history. Mr Stein interviews the top evolutionists in the world and quizzes them on how did life start only to learn that they acknowledge that they really don't know, but they have theories. Needless to say this is truly a documentary to watch and to learn from.

  • Expelled : No Intelligence Allowed.

    This DVD surprised me. It talks about how accomplished & awarded scientists are black listed when they present evidence to Consider ideas against what is PC - Politically Convenient. I thought society was free, secular, and owned thier own independent thought. Yet the "powers that be" will hurt you if you do not comply with ideas that are IN FASHION. GET THIS DVD and learn HOW Everyone can be persecuted - if we do not say what is "in".

  • Expelled

    The movie explains how our colleges and universities have become increasingly leftist. It didn't happen by accident. Essential reading for those who are deciding which colleges to send their students to and for all who are interested in getting education vs indoctrination. As a nation we have to address this problem. Both sides of the issues have to be presented in an unbiased, agenda-free education so students can decide for themselves.

  • A Romp on the Wild Side

    Candid and dry. By selecting diverse individuals, the commentator grabs an "every person" approach in looking at the problem. Then, when approaching the 'experts' we see them slowly fumble until, in the end, they begrudgingly acknowledge the very thing they are trying to stand against. It is a delightful and enlightening romp through the minds of adversity.

  • Ben Stine shines in this one!

    Ben Stine just sets up these arrogant pompous "intellectuals" and lets them hang themselves. Extremely entertaining, strays from the norm. Excellent film, I'm surprised anyone had the courage to make it!

  • Very engaging and informative. Promotes thought and research.

    A group of 20 have pored over the content and investigated the research ourselves. We were delighted in the accuracy we discovered. Ben Stein begs the viewer to probe for further questions.

  • The new (scientific) bigotry of our times !

    Ben Stein and his bevy of critical scientific associates have some choice things to say about the sorry state of so-called "academic freedom" in the western world.
