i think i will put this here too.
hey guyz, we are seeing a memewar here.
The DI intends to replace the current version of Science with something of their own design.
some god-as-designer version of real science i guess.
And they are using social engineering and Wedge strategy tactics to accomplish those goals.
Stein’s movie is an attempt to demonize Science and scientists.

Expelled is just the cartoon version of Goldberg’s Liberal Fascism.

And these poor fools desperately want to believe the theme endorsed by both the movie and the book, as vocalized by Goldberg here.

“I do think Darwinism led to Nazism, in a sense. But that’s because I see Nazism as one of many responses to modernism. And Darwin, for good and ill, represents the rise of modern science — along with Einstein and others. Nazism and Communism and Progressivism were all impossible without the industrial revolution, Darwinism, relativism, mechanized warfare, mass production, etc. They were reactionary responses to these things. Those responses amounted to an express rejection of the conservative and libertarian vision of society, which is why they were leftwing.”
The theme is–
that Science is Bad….reallyreally Bad…..UNLESS it is “guided” by judeo-xian philosophy.

This is what is happening– courtesy Reason and Peter Thiel

reason: What do you think are the most dangerous political trends in the United States?

Thiel: It seems like things are moving in a very anti-libertarian direction politically on every issue. There may be a few exceptions, but generally we’re moving toward a country that’s fiscally more liberal and socially more conservative, which is a very odd configuration. You can debate why that is. Maybe politics has become purely reactionary. It’s a reaction against progress, against globalization, against technology.

There is absolutely nothing libertarian about Goldberg’s and Stein’s premise, that science without religion causes the worlds ills.
They are reactionaries, the memetic equivalent of villagers with pitchforks and torches.
