The movie named Expelled http://www.expelledthemovie.com was released April 2008.
It has caused much awareness about the subject of Intelligent Design (ID).
Surely it will come out in DVD so the interest will continue based on that production.
The purpose of this website is to offer links to the best resources related to Intelligent Design (ID).
These are all intended to be PRO Intelligent Design.
There are other sites that take the CON position and some have both sides.
In this context I am positioning myself as a librarian with a bias.
I offer here links to the largest and most respected sites.
There are dozens of other blogs and books.
Plus there are hundreds of other online articles.
Many are linked from these sites or you can find on your own.
Just use the Search Tools in the next entry.
Just search under the term Intelligent Design or related terms at the following sites.

Here is a list of those that could benefit from studying and discussing Intelligent Design.
Maybe you personally know of individuals or groups related to the list that follows. Then you are welcomed to invite them to explore this site. Personally I so not intend to get very active promoting this site. I will share the link with my current contact base and others later that I might encounter. Maybe this will go viral and maybe not. I have many other projects that are calling for my attention.
I have been watching various movies recently about the American Revolution. And I am reminded of how it was the ordinary citizen-soldier that made the difference. Maybe this is the season to move the debate from the stuffy academic circles out to the public square. Maybe the common person can learn about the key points. They can examine the evidence. They can use common sense that is not always common. They can analyze the arguments. They can reach their own conclusions.

Set aside your preconceptions.
Forget what others told you about Intelligent Design.
Find out for yourself.
Instead of getting your inputs about ID second and third hand go to the sources.
It might be wise to journal along this journey.
Your thoughts and feelings will likely get very stirred up.
So start or add to a blog and for expressing your opinions.
There are lots of forums where you can find people on both sides.
Stop when you want to and come back later or never.
I have zero interest in your comments on this website.
This is one tiny part of my complex life.
You would be better off engaging with those who have been in ID for many years.
May I suggest that you write down a list of toughest questions you can bring to this field.
Add to that list as your research continues.
Ask these questions of yourself and any that will answer you.
Keep a journal or other record of the best responses to your questions.
Later you can share quotes from your journal on you blog or You Tube vlog.
Your opinions might not change at all.
Or they may get stronger.
Or they might change some.
In any case you can tell yourself that you did your honmework.
You personally researched the opposition for yourself.
You went to their experts.
You read their materials and not commentaries by their critics.
Creationism is not the same as Intelligent Design.
For many (but not all) in the ID community think they are related.
Any person coming to this site can conduct a search of Creationism.
Just put the term Creationism into the Search Tools listed previously.
Here is your invitation to get involved in these matters.
Go to the tab on this website named Resources and learn about Intelligent Design for yourself.
