Ben Stein’s Expelled – No Integrity Displayed:: In the new science-bashing movie Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed, Ben Stein and the rest of the filmmakers sincerely and seriously argue that Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution paved the way for the Holocaust.

Prepare for an intellectual night at the cinema. [Scientific American]
