A couple years ago Ben Stein came out with a documentary called "Expelled No Intelligence Allowed". It was about the subject of Intelligent Design and how the scientific world was so against it because it suggested the idea of a higher power. Richard Dawkins the famous atheist is interviewed during the documentary and when asked about a possible source of the earth he mentions highly intelligent aliens as a possible creator. In my mind this sounds more outlandish idea then the fact that God created the world, which Richard Dawkins thinks is ludicrous. I would recommend this documentary for families and homeschoolers as it teaches about the theory of intelligent design and about scientific theory and method . I would also recommend Creation and Evolution: A Conference Pope Benedict XVI, edited by S.D.S Stephen Horn. In order to deal with science in the secular world we have to be aware of what the Church teaches that we might not be led astray.
Have a good read, Nina
I saw this and enjoyed it. It was before I was aware of how famous Dawkins was in certain circles, so the impact of him looking for any extremely powerful and very intelligent thing, that would get him out of being open to an omnipotent and very wise God, didn't hit me. And then it did later, and it was hilllaarrrrious.
