Description
This new and controversial movie claims that academics and scientists who explore or suggest that there is intelligent design in nature are "Expelled" from the classroom and their jobs. The film has gained controvery not only because it explores the evolution vs. creation controversy, but because some prominent scientists, including Richard Dawkins, claim they were tricked into appearing in the film.
While the Dallas Philosopher's Forum takes no position on these issues, the release of the film allows us to explore issues of science and religion, philosophy of science, academic freedom, and other related topics. We have invited a panel of distinguished and carefully selected experts to discuss and debate the merits of these topics. As usual with the Forum, we will have an open question and answer period.
Frank Sherwin, Science Editor, Institute for Creation Research will be in favor of the premise. Stephen Levene, Professor of Molecular and Cell Biology, University of Texas at Dallas will be opposed. Rick Worland, Chair, Division of Cinema-Television, Meadows School of the Arts, Southern Methodist University will be our film expert.
Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed opens April 18th, 2008. We encourage attendees to see the film before our panel discussion event. The film will be showing at about 12 theaters around the metroplex including at the Angelika Mockingbird. Our panel discussion event will not include a ticket to the film or a screening of the film.
