This post includes a round up of some of today\u2019s blogging about Expelled<\/em>, a premiering today that claims to be about science and sounds likely to be mostly fiction. Higgaion has several posts<\/a> about Expelled<\/a><\/em>, as well as one about religion and science in the new X-Files<\/em> movie<\/a>, subtitled \u201cI want to believe\u201d. He also has a good answer to a bad question<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Panda\u2019s Thumb has multiple posts with reactions<\/a> to Expelled<\/em> from all over<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Henry Neufeld writes about Expelled: No mainstream scientists allowed<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n

John Dennehy has six things Ben Stein doesn\u2019t want you to know<\/a>. John Pieret will, I\u2019m sure, keep blogging about Expelled<\/em><\/a> throughout the day<\/a>. It is \u201cFreedom Friday<\/a>\u201d after all. Matt\u2019s Notepad continues its coverage<\/a>. Go here for a storkist perspective<\/a>. Open Parachute discusses humanism and anti-human trends in contemporary religion<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Why isn\u2019t anyone suggesting that the earthquake indicates God\u2019s displeasure with Expelled<\/em>?<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

In other news, John Morehead has a post about syncretism and the emerging church<\/a>. Internet Monk asks whether<\/a> there is a divine protection racket<\/a>. That subject merges nicely with a blog a student pointed out to me, devoted to amusing Venn diagrams<\/a> like this one<\/a>:<\/p>\n
