  • I think the rating of Expelled on Rotten Tomatoess speaks volumes. Nobody's convinced.

  • There actually is NO controversy, despite Ben Stein's best efforts to trick the stupid into thinking there is. The scientific community pretty much unanimously agrees that Intelligent design are crap, and that its supporters are not interested in arguments. Creationists just want a free ride, while other people would have to constantly support everything they say.

  • Whenever I watched videos that disgust the film, they can only argue cynically. Get serious people.

  • Did Ben Stein actually say that, that they reconstructed whole fossils out of tiny fragments?

    Cause I'm trying to find where that claim comes from, which creationists seem to use every now and then, that scientists supposedly use tiny fossil fragments to make whole creatures.

  • Special thanks to Jesus? I'll be damned (yeah right) if Ben Stein is not a JEW

  • Saber-toothed Duck FTW!!! HA!

  • I'm a commie already.....

  • LOL...Ben Stein is an embarrassment to the human evolutionary race. His ancestors must have fallen out of the tree and hit their heads one too many times.

  • Well, technically his ancestors are ours too, but we appreciate the sentiment.

  • Not really, Ben's family line had a common ancestor with us but branched out into another line called "Creationist Cro- Magnum". Their evolutionary line uses the bible as a science book and they have an average I.Q. of 6....lol.

  • wow. I am disappointed in public schools (or where ever these people attended, possibly private christian school). How can one argue with physical evidence that you can touch and tests we can prove over again. I guess blind faith also makes you ignorant.(not stupid..college taught me the difference)lol please read other books at a public library (in the non-fiction section)educate your self about the realities of the world you live in. .WAKE up. or stay asleep. either way live in peace.

  • Comment removed

  • I love win logical science coupled with atheism makes a dent on Christian ideology..they get all red in the face and try to hit you below the belt....I love when they reinforce the statements that Newton and Einstein even Darwin flew under the assumption that there was a god....Even though they.. well Einstein anyway said a impersonal god not a benevolent or personal one...Not the Christian "I'll love you if you don't do anytrhing bad but I'll make you burn if you do..." God...Creationist BS

  • What a load of bs this thing was. It'd been hilarious if it wasn't frightening so many people actually believe this crap.

  • good laugh

  • roflmao hahahahahaha What?

    Red shift to make the world communist. Rofl.

  • Somewhere, there is a christian who just sent this "factual documentary (lol)" to all of his/her friends to show them that 'evil-lution' is false......

  • I want a Mickey Mouse skull!!!

  • Stein could NOT have done this all by himself. I smell a conspiracy. God must've helped him............

  • EPIC!! This is brilliant!

  • Lmao?

  • hahahah.

  • Ben has been a very busy man lately.

  • Too cheap to hire antibody else.

  • Really, I don't know why people hate religion.

  • Well from my perspective, I just get annoyed when religion tries to trespass into secular aspects of my life.

    I have no problem with churches or the right for people to worship how they like, barring the most obvious of exceptions, child abuse, hurting others, breaking laws, etc.

    I get severely annoyed when people try to teach religion in place of science and to put religion into the law. These are the two issues that motivate me to speak on the danger religions pose to society.

  • Agreed.

  • Hate? You posted that people hate religion in a thread on a video like this piece of garbage? They can't even put a REAL voice on it because anyone with an IQ wouldn't want to be thought of as being so ignorant as to say this BS. I feel sorry for you if you need to feel that your life is controlled by such a silly bunch of stories written in the DARK AGES... Believe what ever you want though... Don't spew this stuff in schools as 'Science' because its not.. It's called wishful thinking.

  • Sir, this video is... Satire.

  • Look, I get what the problem with you is. You have so much hope and 'belief' invested that you have to keep telling yourself these silly lines. Funny you say I'm blindly following the carrot.. Far from the truth. I was raised in a religious home. I am not the one following the path that was paved for them. If you actually gave it a try and read what the science actually says about 'Natural Selection' then even you might get how silly you sound. Maybe someday your carrots will help you see

  • nice one

  • The things Ben Stein says... well you have to wonder if he's really that stupid. I mean, sure, "No Intelligence Allowed"... yeah I get it but sometimes I think he's just in it for the money. He couldn't be in it for the glory because he gets owned every time he turns around.

    Such a soft target. If he has a significant following it's a sad statement about the average intelligence of people, mostly Americans in this case I suspect.

    I'm worried about the US these days, they're falling behind

  • Hey Warren, I'm an American... And I totally agree with you. It's embarrassing!

  • Well I'm sometimes unkind to Americans on YouTube but I don't really mean to be. I was born and raised in Canada and for better or worse, Canadians are aboooot as close to Americans as you can get and still not BE American.

    And I LIKE Americans (well the ones I've met) but I think the religious bit is really weighing them down. It's sad to see them starting to flounder after introducing the world to freedom and... well freedom says it all I guess.

    Watching GM go down the tubes is very sad

  • Almost every great nation/empire/group in history has lost its top tier status. I'm American, but I can easily see the US losing its #1 economic and political status among the nations of the world. It won't be the first time a country sat on its laurels and stagnated. Sounds pessimistic, but it'll happen eventually.

  • Hey, once you're on top, there's only one direction left to go

  • Shouldn't there have been a Red Shift/Visine gets the red out joke in there somewhere? I mean Ben has to eat, doesn't he?

  • lmao this is hilarious.

  • Stein should have just kept calling "Bueller...Bueller...Bueller.. Bueller.... Bueller..............

  • He looks like a fat version of that guy.

  • He is the fat and older real deal. Check out the credits in Ferris Bueller's Day off.

  • lol 5 stars, such a funny joke.

  • I like where the politicians are illustrated at 1:49.

  • xDDD jajaja what? this is hilarious

    if you don´t like sience stop using automoviles , stop using medicine ,stop using the tv , computers , (internet )cellphones , clothing , and anithing that help your liffe to be more easy ... that´s sience xD jajajaja

  • sorry for the bad english

  • special thanks: Jesus?

    Stein is Jewish.

  • Want more stupid go here.

    Two parents get grilled over their religious beliefs

    watch?v=BLQNDkGhPeI&feature=ch annel_page

  • This is how every anti-evolution video sounds to me now... I've watched over 10,000 videos on it.. I think I can say so now.

  • i love the credits

  • Dammit, they're on to us!

  • lol

  • lol "fundamental atheistic scientists"

    lol "typical atheistic scientists to continue defrauding the generl public"

    lol "then nothing happened"

    lol "spiral, square, frizbee, nazi"

    lol "all galaxies under atheist control will be converted to communism"

    lol "elaborate dating methods used to fabricate evidence which is obviously fraudulent"

    lol "the therory of evolution which is full of holes and has been already disproven"

    lol so stupid its funny

  • Atheists = Communists? That is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard. The communists are atheists because they realize that a country cant work when religion mixes with government. Don't be so quick to forget this is something the framers of the constitution knew very well (that's why they put it in) but the conservatives like to think that they didn't mean it.

  • First time I've seen the work "hornswaggle" in a Youtube video. lol at that.

  • quick where is the FSM when we need him

    noodley appendages

  • Want to say something .. just something... but... lololololololololololololololo­lololololololololololololololo­lololololololololololololololo­lolololololololol .. is all that comes to my mind... ;-)

  • LoL

  • Loved it - but you forgot "Ben Stein - produced by evolution." Or maybe devolution.

  • intelligent falling

    i cant stop laughing

    haahaaaaaaaahaaahaaaaaaaaahaha­hhaaaaaaaaaa

  • haaaa....funny stuff :3

    i think that the only problem that theists have with converting atheists or simply keeping someone within the confines of a religion is this one statement: 'GOD DID IT' *adjust 'God' to whatever deity desired*

    Whereas an atheist can present an argument that is a little more concrete. When and/or if religion dies out, maybe atheist scientists can find fragments of remains, such as crosses or old Bibles.

    Heh, the whole, 'God said/did it' reminds me of a tattle tail

  • I really tried to watch Expelled but after about 40 min I just got bored to tears and stopped... it was that awful.

  • man your full of crap

  • Best...credits...ever!

  • lol....sarcasm

  • It's obvious that this guy has no idea what he's talking about... He's just throwing a fit it seems, because he knows deep inside that creationists are full of $*%&

  • We can save dumb creationists, we can only make sure there aren't more of them...

    Science for the win.

  • Wow, how unintelligent can you be? Yes I used the word unintelligent.

  • fuck that christians shit!! I believe in God but i dont worship him dont fear him and dont love him!!! I just believe and a little bit hate..

  • I believe in UNintelligent Design because ID is too STUPID to have been thought of by a human being!

  • Gosh i cant believe people still take the bible literally!!!

  • Ha,ha,ha,ha! Funniest terd I've ever seen/read. People can be so stupid. Go to school and I don't mean seminary school or should I say pedophile school?

  • this is the dumbest thing I've ever seen. The LHC won't discover what the bible already has told us. Google "Sunesis Society" High I.Q. for Christians! Smarter than Mensa!

  • "Sunesis Society" has 34 members. Mensa has over 100,000. They aren't smarter than Mensa they just require a higher IQ range for membership. There are other high IQ societies that require higher IQ's even still.

  • Actually, Sunesis doesn't list all of its memebers. And, yes, they are smarter than Mensa.

  • No, there are people in Mensa that also qualify for Sunesis. They only show the minimum requirements. Not the average or maximum. Nice try though.

  • oh, i didn't realize that. Thnx genius. Jesus is in Sunesis Society, btw. He well over qualifies for Mensa. When you are being JUDGED after your earthly material sinful existence the last place you will go is to any high i.q. society.

  • Wow, what a great, relevant point you make neoatingallowed! There are smart Christians out there somewhere, in small amounts, in an extremely small society. Brilliant!

  • I know I made a great point. I'm smarter than you and relative to your comments, all mine are far more brilliant than yours. I am, after all, very smart, AND I have God on my side. 2 strikes!

  • haha!

  • This was fucking hilarious "intelligent plate moving" lmao!!

  • Ha, this is a magnificent piece of satire, I especially enjoyed the credits!

    What's even funnier though is that creationists already spew out so much crap that people have trouble telling the difference between satire, and authentic idiocy!

    Actually it's not that funny... more, sad really.

  • "I believe in intelligent design! And I don't care what anyone has to say about that!"

    So, you don't care if what you believe is true or false. Ignorance is bliss!

  • This is, unfortunatley, what we are up against. These people won't accept the facts. Presenting them is almost pointless. No matter how manner transitional fossils are shown, how much genetic heredity can be proven, or any other validated scientific principles demonstrated, they simply won't accept them. they are brainwashed. Further complicating things, the general public (here in the U.S. at least) is too dumb and/or lazy to learn about science properly. Saying 'God did it' is much easier.

  • if these transisional forms exist, why don't we see them freely today?

    Christians discredit the Evolutionist "transisional forms" b/c everyone of them to this point has been wrong, pieced together to purposefully mislead, or they show dogs still turnign to dogs. I have never seen a fish turn into a human, an ape turn into a human or a tree turn in to a bird.

    God is real. Evolution does happen, but with in a Kind, you don't see one kind creating another kind

  • Evolution doesn't say fish turned into birds or any other crap like that. that's the problem with ID people. They start with a phony claim (that evolution doesn't make), then deconstructs that fabricated argument.

    You don't see transitional forms only because you don't want to. They are there, in great number. The ultrareligious simply choose to ignore them and say they 'really aren't transitional forms'. Your entire argument is based on lies, that don't represent the real evidence.

  • if these transisional forms exist, why don't we see them freely today?<<

    Dude seriously. Are you stupid dude seriously. seriously dude. im serious. every animan alive to day is a transitional form. So thats a lot of transitional forms we see freely. Nature dosnt contend to your notion of half dog half pig. Why should it...

  • so Evolution is a systematic evenly distributed act of chance on all living things in existence... Animals, Fish, Flies, Trees, Birds, Grass, Plants...etc.

    Seriously, seriously, seriously dude. Nice intellect. With that huge vocabulary and strong ability to show facts really got me. You really shook my faith with that one.

    Its sad when you people think that randomness creates order. DNA requires information from intelligence. It can't write itself.

  • So you think a supreme intelligence can pop out of thin air but you have a problem believing that a single celled organism was created by a chemical reaction? Wow, you're stupid.

  • @TheLivingStone7

    "its sad when you people think that randomness creates order."

    which randomness? evolution by natural selection is NOT random.

    your argument fails on all levels.

  • "God is real. Evolution does happen, but with in a Kind, you don't see one kind creating another kind"

    How convenient that creationists never define 'kind' so they can always move the goalposts whenever scientists or atheists - or as I like to call them, people smarter than you - present ironclad, damning evidence that boots your invisible sky daddy in his all-powerful ass.

  • Kind: 4 a: a group united by common traits or interests.

    As defined in Websters.

    Give me some ironclad evidence then genius. I like how you called yourself smarter than me yet on your channel you make it very clear you as normal as anyone.

    But really, what evidence? Last time I check, chaos doesn't produce order, Dogs still gave birth to Dogs, and I still have yet to see something come from nothing. Hmmmmmm, all of that is damning evidence to me that the claims of Evolution are crap.

  • Fossils of transitional forms, multiple radiometric dating emthods to date them all, comparative biocheistry, comparative embryology, homologous structures, endogenous retroviruses, and observed speciation in our own time, over a span of mere decades.

    And since everything else in your comment are starw man arguments, the exact same ignorant ones that creationists like to flash around like it's some badge of honor, I can simply ignore them all.

    Owned.

  • Add to that the fusion of two great ape chromosomes that is present in human chromosome 2, ring species, and simulations representing how evolution works and creationism gets absolutely blown out of the water; it's only evidence is a 2000 year old book written by scientific illiterates living in the desert. Double owned.

  • Actually, I kinda lump the ape fusion thing under 'comparative biochemistry', but thanks for going into detail on that.

  • No prob man :)

  • The ape is still an ape and the human is still a human. All these similarities only show that there was a common designers. My evidence is the order and routine of nature. Space expansion, everything seen being made up of things unseen.

    Cute with the owned material, you must be megagreys little recess nap time partner

  • "All these similarities only show that there was a common designers." Fail. I believe the 'same designer, same genes' argument was already debunked, by a CHRISTIAN no less. I'll let you guess which one.

    "Cute with the owned material, you must be megagreys little recess nap time partner" And of course, throwing in pointless ad hominems to cover up your utter lack of a convincing argument. Wow, your credibility is growing by the minute....

  • Common designer? Must have been one hell of a lazy designer too, but then that also explains why he has to rest one day every week despite having infinite power. Only a lazy designer would smudge up the DNA so that we have a chromosome fusion, design our optic nerve to needlessly cross our retina, stupidly make our jaw too small for all of our teeth, and then leave a bunch of junk DNA lying around. Yeah, what an awesome designer you have there. No thanks, I'd rather have a good human engineer.

  • Order and routine existing is evidence of order and routine existing. The spacetime expansion had to occur for matter to exist, we wouldn't be here to see or discuss the alternative. Both are just properties of the Universe we live in because of the laws present. There may be other universes where the laws are different and spacetime contracts or simply stands still.

  • As far as seen things being made of unseen things, I don't quite know what you're trying to get at here. Is our lack of microscopic vision your proof that Christianity is correct? Well then my proof that Thor exists is that we can't see ultraviolet light. No comment on the childish quip. Nylon eating bacteria is an example of speciation AND new genetic information. DNA changes can pile up, just like slow erosion can create canyons.

  • I believe Earth formed from a nebula that contained the elements needed to create the planets of the solar system and supplied with exotic elements from meteor collisions. What do you believe, that an anthromorphic magic being created it 6000 years ago and this being was dumb enough to put a death tree in the garden and apparently design us all so poorly? Then he has the audacity to get pissed because he was too lazy to keep track of us or actually do the job right the first time?

  • 1) Expand into the universe we have today. You do know that the universe is still expanding, right? Very few people will say that the universe came from nothing, but congratulations on continuing to beat that creationist strawman to death. You obviously didn't even read what I said because I never implied that it came from nothing.

  • In fact the only reference I made that could be construed to have anything to do with the beginning of our universe is: "There may be other universes where the laws are different and spacetime contracts or simply stands still.", which could imply (loosely) that I am talking about our universe coming from a multiverse, which is NOT nothing.

  • 2) Matter cannot come from nothing, but Einstein showed that it can come from energy. Matter has been shown to have a definite beginning, but energy has not, and may well be eternal. Kind of like God, only proven to exist.

    3) Okay, so first I'm gay and now I'm stupid? What are you going to call me next, a poopy-head? Grow the fuck up and learn to debate like a man.

  • poopy head! Lol!

  • We are humans and apes are apes. But we're all hominidae. We're a separate genus. Explain your evidence. I'm confused. Nature shows that survival of the fittest creature in an environment is law. We as humans have terminated several species. Even if you're a YEC, you have to believe this because if you don't, how do you explain Dinosaurs being gone and Dodos? What does Astronomy have to do with Biology?

  • Owned? cute bro, what are you 14 years old? what's the observed speciation in our own time? what would that be referring to?

    Bottom line is that everything keeps the same DNA. The DNA does not change to the point where it was once a dog now its a cat.

    The fact still stands that evolution claims order out of chaos and that does not happen ANYWHERE today.

    Do you believe the earth formed from nothing 6 billion years ago?

  • "what's the observed speciation in our own time?" Podarcis sicula, only the most dramatic example we got.

    "Bottom line is that everything keeps the same DNA." Obviously not, since our 46 chromosomes came from the fusion of 2 pairs of the ape's 48. And have you ever heard of MUTATION!?

    "Do you believe the earth formed from nothing 6 billion years ago?" You think Earth formed from nothing AND man was created from nonliving matter some 600 years ago, so you're hardly in a position to talk.

  • This got to be a satire! Red shift a code word to explain that all galaxies will convert to Communism? What a buch of crock-shit!

    Holy Cow, talk about redifining the meaning of words to decieve people. Doulbe talk anyone?

    This has got to be a satire!

  • Yeah, it is satire, you can calm down now :) :D

  • Of course it's satire, take a look at the nick of the uploader. ;-)

  • I did... but later, shouldv'e looked it up before I posted.

  • This is sarcasme right?

  • wow what a crock of shit - anybody got any toilet paper??

  • Slander of slander

  • The [US] National Centre for Science Education has an excellent web site called Expelled Exposed which comprehensively refutes the lies in Ben Stein's propaganda piece. All 6 scientists Stein interviews range from incompetent to outright liars. The site requires a few minutes to read: after all, real scholarship requires referenced footnotes, and real answers are more complicated than the simplistic fantasy of people like Ben Stein.

  • Nice job!!! LOL!! Ben Stein is a fucking fool.. In an interview I just watched, he admits that he represents law but does not respect it. Mmmm... Who does this Jewish man think he his? Saul? One thing is true - he will do anything at any cost for a buck. Is that moral integrity or lack thereof?

  • Ben is Jewish. He wouldn't thank Jesus. lol

    Just himself.

  • "The problem is now that we have exposed the Atheist scientists for the frauds that they are, we still need to understand the Biblical model of Creation Theory and make it so that it fits the data" - lol :) yes, crowbar that model and fabricate some data, just make the fucker fit!

    Of course, it's not funny at all.

  • ooooh man, sureman1 needs to see the "light" of evolutionary theory...

    by the way, i really like your screename ReligionIsACrutch. are you a fan of Christopher Hitchens by any chance? i just finished his book God Is Not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything and i have to say, it opened my eyes which is impressive considering how skeptical i was of religion to begin with.

  • lol

  • Thanks for the vid. I needed some comic relief.

    I love "atheist scientists". I have debated with some fundies who REALLY think scientists have an agenda of being anti-god or anti-religion. I guess when one is so delusional, it doesn't take much for them to add to that delusion.

    Pat C. downloaded another great vid. Check it out.

    "The reason for the season is the NEED for the Season of Reason." (saxmanchiro)

  • that was a great synopsis

    i love it

  • Of course there's no god, otherwise life would have meaning and purpose. but there isn't so...gee, that means all the above comments are MEANINGLESS??!! O yeah, what WAS that mutation which improves (rather than corrupts) DNA? Mr. Dawkins? Anyone?

  • There is no such thing as "improved DNA", only DNA that expresses a phenotype better suited for its environment. That has been shown time and time again with the peppered moth, nylon eating bacteria, drug resistant bacteria and so on...

  • still, DNA has genetic boundaries which it cannot pass.

    a monkey can't give birth to a homo. vice versa.

  • That would be a problem if scientists thought that's how evolution works. Fortunately they don't. Each generation is only slightly different but after a while you have a huge genetic gap with only slight modifications at each step. That is why dogs and wolves can still breed even though they are different species, because they don't have a large enough genetic gap. However horses and donkeys have a larger gap which is why, even though they can still breed, their offspring (mules) are sterile.

  • BAHHH HAHAHHA god fag!lol your stupid :p

  • Well the monkey gave birth to you. Isn't that enough proof?

  • What makes you think that the existence of a god/gods gives meaning to life, or that the lack of a god/gods removes meaning? This sounds an AWFUL LOT like the "hitler was a darwinist" bullshit. "Don't understand the differing view? Simply hurl straw men, lies and ad hominems until you're satisfied."

  • I hope the movie is as funny as this.

  • lol

  • In the words of Hermione Granger:

    What.

    An.

    Idiot.

  • once again... god can lick my left!!!

  • Hahahaha....galaxies under atheist control....brilliant!!!!

  • I understand what this is doing, but it makes me violently sick to know some people believe it...

  • lol 5 stars!

  • :D LMAOOO! Actually the funniest part for me was the end titles xD

  • Lol, I found that funny for two reasons:

    1. It is a very good satire

    2. It is pretty much a perfect description of the movie.

  • god can lick my left!

  • nut

  • sac

  • hahaha the saber-toothed duck.

  • I like Kirk Cameron's croco-duck better lol.

  • ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ.­...zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.­.

  • lol! I love comedy.

  • This is an attack on the people who keep the live of creatures like Ben Stein comfy. I wonder how a "religious scientist" may look like. Probably like an inquisitor?

  • "I wonder how a "religious scientist" may look like."

    Probably like this: he has an hypothesis about string beans and the pH of the soil. He does an experiment and he doesn't get the result he wanted. He publishes anyway, claiming God interceded. And since God is inscrutable and we are not allowed to question him, the experiments results are perfectly valid.

    I wonder why Expelled didn't go into THAT consequence of their bizarre desires of turning science into JUNK?

  • the level of ignorance in creationists is staggering, agreeing with the bible literally would make mass murderers out of all of us , just ask george bush, carls sagans pale blue dot,says it all really, if ya want to continue believing in god after watching it, then i reccomend psychiatric counselling.

  • good satire.

  • That Ben Stein is a multi-tasker!

  • Hypothesis : Darwin was wrong

    Experiment : Read the Holy Bible

    Results : God said it, I believe it, that settles it, Hypothesis proven.

    Excellent.

  • Hypothesis: God doesn't exist.

    Experiment: Fuck God and all of the ignorant believers out there.

    Results: I've yet to be stoned or struck down with holy fire for blaspheming.

    Hypothesis proven.

    Do you realize how stupid you just made yourself look by following something like that? Fuckin' twat.

  • It is helpful when you phrase a hypothesis to place the words IF and THEN in it.

    IF evolution is right about common decent THEN chimpanzees and humans should share ERVs. (They do)

  • Classic

  • Oh shit I laughed when I watched this.

  • That was hilarious!

  • I like how many people in the comments don't understand that this is satire.

  • I'm not sure, were you actually giving several examples of straw-man arguments? Please don't tell me this was a serious video.

  • WTF? well that was supposed to be a reply from a previous page

  • the bible can give you anything you need to know because someone can write bullshit in it. It can take scientists years of time and work to figure something out because they don't always take the easy way out.

  • This video is funny cos it can't be serious.

  • Iv lost all respect for ben stein

  • Not that I ever had respect for Ben Stein, but I agree. However I can honestly say I laugh harder when I watch Ferris Bueller's Day Off. When he calls out Buellers name in class just imagine he's saying logic instead.

  • Yeah, thats a damn good movie.

  • Wow that there ben stein is a renaissance man. He made the movie litteraly himself. lol

  • Microsoft Mary?
