The Movie Documentary “Expelled”

I have today submitted the following letter to the local newspaper:

“The movie documentary ‘Expelled’ was excellent. I thought the key point was that modern microbiology has discovered that the biological cell is not a simple gel but an organic factory far more complex than any human invention. This new data exposes the inadequacy of the naturalistic Darwinian model for explaining the origin of species. To use the language of Thomas Kuhn, we are witnessing the early stages of a scientific paradigm shift on the level of the  Copernican revolution. As to be expected, the establishment is stubbornly clinging to its old familiar model and is desperately resisting the ’survival of the fittest’ in the realm of scientific explanations.”

i think that the Copernican revolution metaphor is appropriate for what is happening in science today. I don’t think this is a radical plus for intelligent design since those who do not wish to believe will find ways to discredit or work around things, but it is significant.

Evolution is disproved by that time-tested logical axiom: improbability implies impossibility.

This is why it is, in fact, impossible to win the lottery.

Good review. I hope to see the movie soon… as soon as Netflix starts renting it out. :)
