Ben Stein is going to star in a documentary that explores the many ways the “BIG SCIENCE ACADEMY” does not even allow scientists to consider the possibility of an Intelligent Designer. They even go as far as “expelling” such scientists from the “ACADEMY.” Listen to interviews with the producer of this film below and check out their website.

Considering that the creative team have been lying just in the making of the film (lying blatantly to those they’re interviewing, for example), I hate to think what the finished product will be like.
What are they lying about?
One of the scientists interviewed by the creative team details his experience here:

Two things are wrong with this picture.
(1) When this scientist was interviewed, it is very possible that the documentary was intended to be what they said it would be. I think in the interviews I linked to above, the producer actually mentions the fact that while they were in the production phase of the film and started gaining new material and interviews, they began to realize different things and the direction of the film started to change.
(2) The scientist is very unscientific in the fact that he is unwilling to watch this film with an open mind, which is the major problem with the scientific community today: “I will go see this movie…and I will certainly disembowel its arguments… That’s going to be fun.”
On top of all that, I don’t think this film is intended to be pro Intelligent Design or pro Creationism. I think Ben Stein is an atheist, if I’m not mistaken. To me, it seems the intent of this film is to promote freedom of speech (with regards to scientific beliefs and inquiries) without the fear of losing your job or reputation as a scientist. I doubt this film will go into the details of why Intelligent Design is true or why Creationists are right and Darwinists are wrong.
