Comedian Ben Stein and His EXPELLED Science Academy - Why you should ATTEND!

Posted by vikingmother on Monday, September 24, 2007 7:34:48 AM
Ben Stein - the guy who does comedy routines and won Emmys as "Win Ben Stein's Money" also does political and economic commentary. His resume' shows he's written books, worked for politicians, done comedy work...and NOW

Ben Stein puts lots of his learning together with his comedy and media skills to...set up his Science Academy in the movie coming out Feb 12, 2008 

http://www.expelledthemovie.com/video.php.

Who is Ben taking on? 

In his Science School Satire & Commentary Movie? 
He's taking on the major scientific "elite" who do NOT want to even ALLOW public discussions between those scientists who see the world as evolved with NO "gods" involved...and those scientists who even want to ask the question "Is there any intelligent design behind the structure of my moonflowers, behind the delicate workings of a tear ducts, behind the organized cycles of the earth....behind the elaborate spiral stair case known as Deoxyribonucleic Acid?"

He promises interviews, clips with some of the top science "gods" who ridicule the idea of design but who do NOT want to be bothered to even dialogue with those researching "intelligent design".

Anyone (regardless of your views) who thinks that science benefits from lots of debate and diverse research...would gain insights from the scientists interviewed who found their careers DAMAGED (or terminated) soon after they dared raise the "d" word!

HOW DOES THIS POSSIBLY RELATE TO 'LOVING THE HUMAN RACE"?

We ALL benefit from the free discussion of competing ideas...Yes, some scientific starting points die a deserved death (No there is no real Man in the Moon).

But other strange sounding starting points are later proven (Yes, there are invisible things on your hands that can kill if they are not washed off before you do surgery).
 
Today, you can even search the Net for how a strand of your hair may (someday, perhaps soon) CURE you! 

Let the discussions and the crazy ideas flow out!

HG WELLS and Britain's proposed HUMAN ANIMAL Embryo Farms!!!

Posted by vikingmother on Thursday, September 20, 2007 9:14:22 PM
Remember H.G. Wells? You might have seen the recent Tom Cruise remake of his sci fi story "War of the Worlds".

Wells also wrote another techno nightmare..."The Island of Dr. Moreau" (available online to read for free...a Dr. Moreau on his tropical island has successfully bred human & animal together...and the horrors abound).

Today, I saw stories about Britain's new proposal to allow some limited human/animal DNA cell intermingling.

If you do an Internet Search, and type in   Britain embryo animal   
you will get LOTS of sites - discussing Britain's NEW proposal to get lots of human style eggs by somehow using the animal egg as a carrying vessel. And note that some say the animal part is only a small percentage. But it's still a human animal mix...and of course the ethical discussions are left in the dust or otherwise ignored. 

Britain does not have the laws against human embryonic research the US does...So Britain wants to use animal eggs merged with mainly Human DNA. And they blithely sail down the path of possible horrors...

While back in the US  (where current stem cell research MUST focus on mostly ADULT STYLE stem cells due to Bush's veto)... ADULT STYLE STEM CELL RESEARCH IS PRODUCING LOTS OF PROMISING TREATMENTS...WHICH ARE IMPROVING... and SOME TREATMENTS ARE AVAILABLE TODAY!!!
http://www.stemcellresearch.org/  Lots of great links including a list of stem cell treatments and promising research and CURRENT news about adult style stem cell advances...

I need to go and reread that great techno horror story "The Island of Dr. Moreau".  It's been redone in mid 20th century as "The Concentration Camp Experiments of Dr. Mengele". Will we do Act 3 in Well's native land?
