Haven’t seen it, I’m afraid, and from the dearth of answers, I many not be alone. Would you like to give us some details?

* But I would certainly feel some sympathy for a student who had to write a paper about evolution and what supports it when they don’t even believe in it.

I guess I don’t feel much pity. They could always rattle off what they were taught in class, and then finish the paper with

“…but the scientific method does not ask us to provide evidence for our theories, as much as it demands that we test them.”

The student could thus demonstrate he knew what had been taught, and also protest against the assignment in an acceptable manner.

“But I must say, evolution is not valid science either…”

You must say it, huh? And what makes you must say it? What exaclty is your expertise that enables to make such a judgement?

I had never heard of this movie, but from what I have just read, it is more of the same from the ID crowd. Making crap up and calling it science. When asked to prove their theories, they change the subject by claiming a conspiracy of atheist scientists are supressing them. How dare those scientists ask for evidence of their “theory”…

It’s garbage. See here for just some of the press about it: http://scienceblogs.com/strangerfruit/2008/04/expelled_now_with_added_antise.php
