Get to a theater on April 18th

A friend of mine here at Iowa State University, an astrophysics professor, was recently hanged on the gallows of modern academia and scholarship.

Guillermo Gonzalez was recently denied tenure in spite of the fact that he more than met all of the requirements for tenure. Moreover, his appeals fell on deaf ears from the president and regents. His colleagues in the physics department emailed each other and conspired against him from the beginning. The regents refused to look at these in his appeal.

I may feel this more than most Americans simply because my job revolves around the university environment. But there is no doubt- the ideas that rule in the university will shape the world for better or for worse.

I recently saw this movie trailer that everyone should see. That's a pretty sweeping statement, but I believe it to be true.

It's not a "Christian" movie, it's an honest look at the persecution that's happening to those who hold to "intelligent design."

Check out the documentary by Ben Stein, Expelled, in theaters April 18th.
