There is no discussion of what the term God means. Similarly scientific terms are seldom defined. Some of the scholars interviewed recognized that terms need definition, e.g. what is a species? Even the most intense atheists interviewed recognized that scientists do not know where life and came from. They know it came from a cell, a molecule. But today there is so much known about these units that there are more questions than before.
Dr. Marcij Giertych says that there is more freedom in Poland regarding this question than in the United States. Dr. Alister E. McGrath of Oxford University, said, "Some people are so deeply entrenched in their own world view, that they will simply not countenance alternatives." That problem extends far beyond this question. The difficulty of rational debate applies to Global Warming too.
Stein shows a connection between the eugenics movement which was adopted by the Nazis and rejection of religion by scientists. There's a phrase in German which means "It always began that way. How to get rid of useless people."
Dr. Richard Weikart said, "Evil can be rationalized as science. Hitler thought he was doing good." Today in America research scientists who conduct involuntary experiments using humans without consent defend their work the same way the Nazi doctors did. They say the benefit to society outweighs the harm to individuals.
Dr. David Berlinsky said, "There is academic freedom as long as you're on the correct side of the wall. But if you're on the wrong side of the wall you lose tenure." In December 2001 the faculty at Harvard University voted to remove the course listings of a young professor. The faculty said he uttered hate speech but provided no evidence. This is a thought provoking film whether you believe in religion or not. It shows a pattern affecting free speech but also freedom in the United States. There is a book by the same name on which this film was based.
