I have commented often on the close analogy of "winning back America for God" and "winning back science for God." It seems to me that most American advocates of the latter are also advocates of the former. I find it interesting that the two causes are thoroughly entangled in Rush's rhetoric. It seems that Rush does not understand that when Thomas Jefferson referred to creation, he did so as a deist. Jefferson believed in God as the First Cause of nature, not an entity intervening in nature. The methodological naturalism of contemporary science is entirely compatible with deistic creation. And the notion that diverse biological species have appeared without special creation of information (intelligent design) is as American as... Thomas Jefferson.Turner Coates_{March 23, 2008

Obviously Rush is very impressed with the movie- the may he quivered in his voice when he called it "powerful"- I really hope that he and Sean Hannity (while I do disagree with both of them at times no doubt) use their shows as much as possible to help advertise and get out the word about the movie. I for one am seriously excited not just for the release of the movie but for whatever public or mainstream shockwave might occur in light of its expose. The mainstream media is really blacklisting any information on the movie itself. That is I haven’t seen much news about tit aside from conservative slanted radio or TV shows. This needs to change and the change needs to start with us. Tell all of your friends and anyone you know about the movie and encourage them to go see it. Call local radio shows if possible to talk about the subject as well- send emails to media, write about the movie at various blogs etc. We’ve got a few weeks and that is plenty of time to increase people’s awareness about the movie and hence the core issues involved- especially the corrupt and dangerous intellectual climate. I say thanks to Rush not simply for agreeing with the movie but for taking the time and effort to talk about a substantive issue that our nations intellectual climate has to face. And this "climate change" is one that you can count on being real.Frost122585_{March 22, 2008

larrynormanfan, "So, as usual, a class act from Rush." I didn't know you listened to Rush Limbaugh. That is interesting for someone with your opinions.jerry_{March 22, 2008

A good book on the theology is Darwin and Darwinism is Darwin's God by Cornelius Hunter. It is a fantastic book and very readable.johnnyb_{March 22, 2008

Also, as a Christian, I don’t think Darwinism threatens my faith in the slightest. Given how Darwinian reasoning is often based on Christian theology of course it doesn't threaten those who agree its type of theology. The ironic thing about Darwinian theology (no tinkering for God, panda's thumb arguments, etc.etc.) is that it apparently allows some to think that they are "strong" intellectually and theologically when in fact they are weak and ignorant when it comes to theology. Why else would then need a protected form of theology which allows for no criticism? Darwinian theology simply avoids all threat because its proponents declare that theology must be "separated" from science even as they allow their own. Given that one might think that those with the Darwinian urge to merge are "threatened" by anything which might possibly separate them from their Mommy Nature.mynym_{March 22, 2008

idnet.com.au, I'm not happy to see anybody make a fool of himself or confuse the issues. I saddened by some pro-evolution literature (Daniel Dennett's books, for example). As for the ID I'd much prefer a solid, honest presentation in favor of ID as science than a movie about ID that apparently talks about God all the time. While I'm not convinced by ID literature, I learn from some of it. Also, as a Christian, I don't think Darwinism threatens my faith in the slightest.larrynormanfan_{March 22, 2008

Larry "I don’t see how it will advance the cause of ID.” With your so frequently repeated views, you should be happy if something will not advance the ID cause. It is precisely because it will advance the cause of ID, that you and so many other Darwinists, are so afraid of Expelled.idnet.com.au_{March 22, 2008

shaner74 What you say can be seen clearly here http://www.economist.com/science/displaystory.cfm?story_id=10875666 where "Science and religion have often been at loggerheads. Now science has decided to resolve the problem by trying to explain the existence of religion."idnet.com.au_{March 22, 2008

"If this movie is really about God, I don’t see how it will advance the cause of ID." Larry you missed the point entirely. It's not that ID is "about God" but rather that Darwinism *is*. That is, one of the main reasons darwinism is so wide spread is not due to any science, but rather because of a commitment many hold to a philosophy which must exclude God at all cost.shaner74_{March 22, 2008

That's an interesting clip. Rush seems to view the movie as being primarily about God (while he mocks panspermia). He also manages to get in a dig at Obama at the end. So, as usual, a class act from Rush. If this movie is really about God, I don't see how it will advance the cause of ID.larrynormanfan_{March 22, 2008
