The common defences used by superstitions, religion and sometimes conspiracy theories. Rational thinking pushed aside!

This is a rewritten version of an earlier post -

‘Expelled: No Intelligence allowed’ is completely correct; there is no intelligence in it!

To really understand this documentary slash movie you have to first understand how Intelligent design came about, after all it should at least in theory be different from the theological understanding of why we are here since such a theological argument would never be considered to be science.
