Friday night out!

Wow! I tell people that I'm moving away and then the start inviting me to parties? hmmm... My Dad says it's like a famous painter, They usually have to die before they become famous.

Well, I had a great time Friday night! I was invited to two parties, bowling, and to go see a movie, but decided to go to the movies to see "Expelled". After that both groups joined up for dinner. We all laugh a lot!

Expelled is sort of a documentary of Religious prosecution in the present day. Ben Stein faces the arguments agents evolution vs. Intelligent design and the prosecution of people that speak out about Intelligent Design as a possibility of the worlds creation.

I found it very interesting and informative. Stein faced the issue will great precision and intelligence. Stein seemed not to be taking a side but simply collecting the facts that in the end make the answers very clear.


This is what world magazine had to say about Ben Stine.
Though audiences probably know Ben Stein best as the economics teacher from Ferris Bueller's Day Off, the actor had a distinguished career preceding the classic '80s movie—just not in the entertainment industry.

Long before ad-libbing the world's most famously boring free-market lecture, Stein was a Yale-trained trial lawyer, a professor at Pepperdine University, an economist, and a speech writer for presidents Nixon and Ford. Even today, along with his acting, voice-over, and game-show-hosting work, he writes regular business columns for The New York Times and Yahoo! Finance Online, as well as numerous books and articles on various political topics. Of all of Hollywood's politically outspoken celebrities, Stein's impressive resumé makes him the likeliest candidate for most credible.
