Here’s Roger Moore‘s smackdown of Expelled.
Knowing Mark Mathis and his ilk, though, the producers will probably combine four of these reviews and say the movie received four stars.
“Expelled” relies on the viewer’s inability or unwillingness to wrestle with a complex corner of science, double-talking its way toward a “must be a miracle” solution to anything that science may not claim to have an answer for.
