Via Pharyngula, we find that someone decided to introduce the allegations of the movie "Expelled" to the shredder of fact by actually doing - you know, research.
Unsurprisingly, when you examine each case in detail, the talking points collapse pretty quickly. (It's not unlike the talking points Alberta politician Ted Morton was tossing about not so long ago) - look at the case objectively, and the talking points collapse under the weight of context and reality.
No, Jason of Shock-and-Blog, this isn't about being "afraid" of anything, it's about intellectual honesty - something long lost on the makers of Expelled and those who think it's got any basis in some factual reality. (But then, religionists will use anything to justify playing the "persecuted" card)
