Big science has expelled smart new ideas from the classroom ... What they forgot is that every generation has its Rebel! That rebel, Ben Stein (Ferris Bueller’s Day Off) travels the world on his quest, and learns an awe-inspiring truth … that educators and scientists are being ridiculed, denied tenure and even fired – for the crime of merely believing that there might be evidence of design in nature, and that perhaps life is not just the result of accidental, random chance. To which Ben Says: Enough! And then gets busy. NOBODY messes with Ben.

- Love Ben Stein! He is so reason-able!

- Entertaining and respectful treatment of a serious subject
- Probably the best part of it is that they manage to talk to many of the most prominent evolutionists/atheists and get some revealing remarks out of them. Like how intelligent design is only an acceptable idea if it is by space aliens, not God. And how they hate religion and want to get rid of it. A few of them admit that they don't know how life… More reviews
- a major challenge to evolutionary theory
- What if there was a better explanation than the theory of evolution? it doesn't matter because science treats it now as absolute gospel. Intelligent design doesn't hinder student's scientific minds, treating evolution as absolute fact does...we only truly become ignorant when we stop questioning what other people say. ben stein asked the perfect question about the evolutionary process… More reviews
- Exposes atheistic evolution...
- ...for the foolishness it is. The documentary was put together well...witty and informative. The thing that makes it worth while is when Stein questions atheists, including Dawkins.
Atheistic beliefs seem plausible until atheists are forced to defend their ideas rather than simply attacking other people's. It's amazing, the same folk who tell us we're… More reviews
