On Friday April 18, 2008 Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed opens in theaters across the United States. The movie stars Ben Stein and follows his journey around the globe where he discovers that scientists, educators, and philosophers are being fired, ridiculed, or ostracized for challenging the materialist's worldview espoused by some evolutionists that excludes any possibility of God's existence. Merely proposing that life on this planet may not be accidental has cost them on both a personal and professional basis. While LeaderU does not specifically endorse any movies, we do encourage our readers to see this movie. In addition, we encourage discussions of the issues raised in the movie.
