I came across this movie the other day [HT: Brock] and have been quite taken by it. I've seen banners for it on other blogs but haven't taken the time to really check it out. Watch the trailer and let me know what you think.
Ben and his team have done a fantastic job of providing some great resources for people like us to help get the word out on this movie. It's releasing in April, not February like some of the trailers say. One of the quotes in the super trailer that stuck out to me is this:
"In my experience, people who are confident in their ideas are not afraid of criticism..."

Ben Steine's views on science are simply dump and uninformed? Science entails a rigorous search for repeatable experiments that prove something about how the universe works. It is not a search for ultimate meaning or debate about what would be nice if it were true. Some scientists believe that the laws of the universe are themselves a wonderful reality. The do not however move away from the scientific method - observation, research, test and experiment, leading to theories that provide the basis for predictions that may be tested by others for validity.

I posted about this movie on my Facebook account back in January... I'm looking forward to seeing it when it comes out. Just now though, I ran across a few links about it from a negative viewpoint. Since I haven't seen it yet, I can't really comment on them, but I was curious to hear what you think, Jeremy. Here they are:

I'll keep you in the loop as far as where/when this movie will be showing. The producers just contacted me the other day, so we'll see what we can put together as a grassroots deal. In the meantime, help get the word out!

This looks like a good movie, I hope it comes to Calgary! I love Lee Strobel and this looks like a movie version of one of his books; except now there are the antagonists as well.

PS Thought it was so cool that Strobel quoted Downhere in The Real Jesus. :)

Jer- have you heard how many theaters will be carrying the movie? Looks like a conservative Michael Moore movie.
Guess it won't win any awards.
I've always loved Ben Stein. He is great on the FoxNews stock market shows.
He is a great American.
May be in Atlanta to see you guys.
