Expelled the movie review

Dacian and I just got to watch Ben Stein's documentary called "Expelled." If you haven't heard of it I'll give a brief summary: It is a documentary about the apparent prejudice against the idea of intelligent design in the science community. Ben Stein goes about many places in America and Europe showing how some professors were asked to leave their jobs for teaching the possibility of an intelligent designer. The mere mention of the possibility of intelligent design in scientific research is met with skepticism. And so, the documentary is trying to expose this prejudice and promote the idea that science should follow the evidence no matter where it leads.
Now, as a documentary I tried hard to watch it while reminding myself that this is all one man's point of view, as all documentaries are. And to be sure, there were several times that evolutionists were not shown in the best light and were made to look like fools. But, again, it is a documentary so take it for what it is.
It did make me think however, about what I believe. I grew up with the understanding that evolution could explain everything being here. I don't hold to that opinion anymore. All who know me, hopefully know that I am a Christian and I hold my faith very dear. However, I do want to make one thing absolutely clear... I DO NOT use Christianity as the basis, the foundation, for all I believe about the universe. One of the points the evolutionists seemed to make over and over is that those who promote the ideas of intelligent design do so because of their faith or religion. That shows a great fundamental misunderstanding of what "faith" is. I do not have faith in a philosophy or a set of rules. I do not have faith in a book, not even the Bible. I do not have faith in some ideology that I try to live my life by. I do not have a code or set of ethics. The way to say it in the Christian world is that I do not live under Law. I have faith in a person, his name is Jesus. I do not live my life asking "What would Jesus do?" I simply ask him, "What should I do?". I do not live my life trying to live as I think He wants me to live; to do so puts the emphasis on my understanding of God and his heart which is not complete (to say the least!) I try very hard to ground what I believe about Jesus in the historical person of Jesus; not the pie in the sky, bearded old man on a throne throwing thunderbolts down from on high perception of God. It is difficult I admit, given that He lived here 2000 years ago and we have none of the original writings from his time. But before I ramble on about this and that let me get right to the point... all of my faith is centered on one simple question, "Did Jesus rise from the dead?" If He didn't than I am completely wrong to believe in him. If he did, than I have to accept the fact that He is God. That being the case, I would then have to accept all of the very basic attributes of what it means to be God: i.e. that he is uncreated, eternal, all powerful, all knowing, and exists unbound by space and time. Also, I believe that God, in order to be God, has to base all He does on love. This leads me to the inevitable conclusion... God created everything. I don't know how, but I do know why: because He loves.
