If you were not able to catch the movie Expelled:No Intelligence Allowed in theaters this last spring, it is now out on video. It might be hard to find in rental stores but it should be there, you might have to ask for it. I highly recommend watching this movie, which confronts the fact that the theory of intelligent design is being removed from discussion at institutions of higher education. Ben Stein does a fantastic job of getting to the bottom of what is behind this removal and how extensive it is. He is engaging, funny, and thorough in his approach. So if you get a chance watch this video, it will open your eyes and provide you with a great education regarding what is behind the theory the evolution.Why watch a movie like this? Because one of the battles we fight as Christians is the battle of truth and the battlefield is the mind. After working on the sermon for Sunday about Satan, Demons, and Angels it became very evident that the Enemy's primary weapon is deception. Demons work to deceive and distort the truth. So when the apostle Paul says that our battle is not against flesh and blood, but against the "spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms" (Eph. 6) this is a great example.

I recommend showing this movie to teenagers as well. I took over 50 high school students to see this when it was in the theaters and they left abuzz with questions as their faith was strengthened.
It's important to note that this movie's aim is to uncover and challenge Westernization's 'blind-faith' adherence to evolution in public education; NOT dig deep and defend Intelligent Design. This movie will help viewers gain interest and motivation to defend creationism; albeit, further studying will be required after (e.g. Darwin's Black Box by Michael Behe; The Case for a Creator by Lee Strobel; etc.)
