Richard Dawkins and the Intelligent Designer

Last week I watched Ben Stein’s movie “Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed.” I liked the movie and I believe that people should watch it just to see how PC is alive and well in academia.

To me, the best part of the movie came at the end, when Ben Stein interviewed Richard Dawkins. I am not going to tell you what happened just before Stein interviewed Dawkins but the symbolism was powerful. You have to see it to understand.

Here comes what I believe was the best part of the movie. When Ben Stein interviewed Richard Dawkins and asked him how life began from non-life and how he would explain the intricacies and the complexities of life, Richard Dawkins had to admit that there was an Intelligent Designer behind the existence of life.

I have to confess, this was the first and only time I ever agreed with Richard Dawkins.
