(Dallas, TX) –Premise Media and XVIVO, LLC, have reached an agreement
regarding their legal dispute surrounding EXPELLED: No Intelligence
Allowed. XVIVO has agreed that the Premise Media documentary does not
infringe on any of XVIVO’s intellectual property rights.
The legal dispute arose over a short animated video clip that Premise
Media commissioned demonstrating the inner workings of a cell. In
response to threats made by XVIVO that Premise had violated their
copyright, Premise sued XVIVO in Federal Court asking it to rule that
there was no infringement and that the animated clip was an original
work of authorship.
XVIVO did not defend the lawsuit, but instead agreed that Premise
Media had not infringed any of its intellectual property rights. XVIVO
also agreed to withdraw its threats. In exchange, Premise Media
agreed only to dismiss the lawsuit with each party paying its own
costs and attorneys fees. The parties reduced this agreement to
writing, and it was filed in Federal Court this week with the
dismissal motion.
John Sullivan, Executive Producer of EXPELLED, said, “EXPELLED is an
important movie with an important message. Even before the movie was
released, various parties were trying to silence us. They will
continue to be unsuccessful. This walk away agreement is another
indication that we have done nothing wrong. Our message will carry on
both in theaters throughout the summer and with our DVD roll out this
October.”

i laughed my ass off as the evolutionist zealots (no, i hate religion and religious people) squirmed under critical thinking and deductive reasoning. This animation was my favorite part. As a 3d animator myself, the complexity of this clip was ENORMOUS! Hat’s off.
The great philosopher Aristotle said, “All I Know Is That I Know Nothing.” ID and Evolutionists (neo-evolutionists, punctuated equilibriumists), all share the same scientific processes (science is not a god), and natural observations. However, their interpretations are different because of their bias and world view. There is no conflict scientifically (per se). So, to see the reactions of the darwinists; ridicule, ad hominem, major defensiveness, extreme anger, lends the notion that darwinism is in serious trouble, and these philosophers of evolution know exactly why. Karl Popper stated, that if a theory of science cannot be experimented on to falsify or corroborate, it is not a theory of science, but merely philosophy/religion.
Ben Stein you are a genius. However, that being said, you should have had Dr. Philip Johnson from Berkeley, who wrote, “Darwin on Trial”. BRILLIANT book.

Yeah, as a matter of fact, science can’t assume a metaphysical view like naturalism, its a methodology not a metaphysic, there is no naturalist/supernaturalist dichotomy. Thats just skepticism of secular humanism.
