SciAm Interview with Mark Mathis of Expelled - 1 of 8

[LuskinsConscience]

Expelled, a 97 minute movie that instead of attempting to fully explain what ID is and what it's scientific method is decides instead to use intellectually dishonest editing, half truths, and outright deceit to project a supposed conspiracy and merely whines.

Did any Creationist, after viewing this film, fully understand what ID is and how it's scientifically examined or interpreted ? I sure didn't.

If not, ask yourself why that is. Here was the chance to make the case, nobody bothered.

Thank you, deBeuk, for sharing this clips.. Good work!

[interstitialofficial]

It seems that mostly it's a case of people just plain not liking scientists or anyone who could be called a savant. And some people who are a part of intelligentsia can be the dumbest guy in the room which, for a few people, can be an ego issue.

People twist the truth to get what they want. sad. Thanks for posting this audio. I know for sure I wouldn't pay money to see this movie.

[max2right]

expelled is just another christian lie. so typical.

[EndCredulity]

The low bot-troll ratings don't matter in this case. They might be effective if this were a webcam of some teenager squirting milk out of his nose and imparting his wisdom on the subject.

But this is Mathis in his own words, getting unequivocally de-pantsed for all to hear. That trumps however many Creationist 1-stars are given.

Exactly, endcredulity. The only thing those trolls achieve is to take away all doubt as to what kind of people we're dealing with here.

thank for your posting this!! this totally makes this movie seem even more like propaganda

[deBeuk]

"thank for your posting this!! this totally makes this movie seem even more like propaganda"

You're very welcome, and I agree, hearing Mathis talk makes it very clear that these people have no idea what they're talking about and are just spreading fnord.

Holy crap! This is excellent! Where did you obtain this audio?

"Holy crap! This is excellent! Where did you obtain this audio?"

I put a link to the files in the video description box ---->

Glad you like it, btw :)

[h8uall66]

Oh yeah, that seems pretty obvious. Good thing I have nothing against my idiocy being publicly showcased on the internet.

"Oh yeah, that seems pretty obvious. Good thing I have nothing against my idiocy being publicly showcased on the internet"

Idiocy is claiming the earth is 6000 years old, or saying "gosh, that sure is complex, that means goddidit". You just forgot to check a video description box ;)

[chriacus]

Yeah, you can tell the trolls with 30 accounts or more have attacked this very rational clip involving reputable journalists interviewing one that is turning out much less reputable. I mean, look at the comments left, and then look somehow that equates to 1 star? Fraid not. I five-starred it, but clearly the trolls can't respond with facts, but with elementary school tactics.

"Yeah, you can tell the trolls with 30 accounts or more have attacked this very rational clip"

It's probably a voting bot, Thunderf00t, cdk, desertphile, pironiro, and many others critical of ID creationism have had the exact same thing happen to them. In a way I'm honored to be in the same list ;)

Thanks for the rating, I really appreciate it :)

[ianw115]

Wow, Mathis is an absolute snake.

[knightoftheroundvaan]

I'm boycotting this film.

[whineybtch]

It's plainly obvious that the film is, in fact, manipulated to make the scientific community look like a group of criminals. However, the scientific community ignores the little creationist flies because they matter very little, even to the Smithsonian. Expelled is a "he said, she said" case. I don't know about anyone else, but I don't find it wise to believe the creationists' story. They have churches, WE have labs. GTFO.

[NonSatisBibivum]

Mathis is absolute slime. Thanks for posting these, deBeuk.

[deBeuk]

Hey, NonSatisBibivum. I'm glad you liked it.

[NonSatisBibivum]

It's always fun to hear anti-science goons being exposed for the liars they are.

Watch: Why do people laugh at creationists?

[deBeuk]

I've disabled voting on posts for all videos in this series because of voting trolls. I've seen this happen in too many comment sections of videos critical of this movie, such as watch?v=iV8sN1UngFY

It appears that cdesign proponentsists want nothing more than to stifle their critics. Pretty ironic, considering the claims made in this movie

[Grundibular]

Yeah, I noticed that yesterday. Look up what was done to creationism critic thunderf00t (yes - two zeroes in the name).

[samlowry1971]

This is AMAZING and horribly uncomfortable, lol.

[mattb521]

Ohhh man, can't wait to see this comedy...

[CognosSquare]

Thank you very much for posting this.
