Trivia:

The film sets up the lecture scene as if it were an actual university lecture. While filmed at Pepperdine University, the auditorium had been rented by the producers and the lecture was not an officially sanctioned event. Pepperdine officials confirmed that the audience was made up of paid extras with only "two or three" actual students attending. Pepperdine administration claims that their student body, while overwhelmingly Christian (Pepperdine is a private Christian college), accepts evolution and does not accept the concept of Intelligent Design. Ironically, Michael Shermer, one of the "Big Science" interviewees in the movie, is a Pepperdine graduate.

Religion Disguised as Science

The real problem is that ID is religion trying to disguise itself as science.

Creationism is circular and impossible to prove. The majority of Christians believe this and only a minority believe that religion and science do actually mix. They don't and should never.

Science cannot and will never prove religion. Religion is faith, science is facts that come from studying the universe.

Why are all the "proponents" of ID and this film all Christian? That is the obvious give-away.

Where are the atheist and Muslim and Buddhist supporters? They are not there since they believe science is one thing, religion is another and like this movie, ID is a trick to try and pretend religion can be proved by science and create some cause.

The ID people are good at "disguising" by using very well-thought out arguments that beg the main premise of trying to make religion provable by science.
