Allow Intelligence!

James Perloff / The New American:
Traditionally minded Americans don't often cheer Hollywood products. We gladly report an exception: Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed (rated PG). Charles Darwin's theory of evolution transformed Western culture. The Bible taught that life forms are creations of God, with man the centerpiece, made in God’s image. Darwin introduced a new doctrine: random interactions of chemicals had created life, and man was just an animal, evolved from lower life forms through survival of the fittest. Sold to the public as scientific fact, "Social Darwinism," with its view of man as beast, helped spawn unprecedented cruelties under communism and Naziism.
