			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ben Stein&#8217;s new movie <em>Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed</em> takes the position that <a href="http://www.sciam.com/article.cfm?id=ben-steins-expelled-review-john-rennie&amp;sc=rss">Darwin&#8217;s theory enabled Hitler</a>.   That&#8217;s probably true.  But how&#8217;s it relevant for today in a world where scientists almost universally reject Hitler but accept Darwin?  Clearly, Darwin does not entail Hitler.  So what&#8217;s the point?  It doesn&#8217;t have any relevance to addressing the truth of Darwin&#8217;s theory?  I think it&#8217;s an attempt to muddy up the conceptual issues and create a negative association with the science of Darwin.   This is a common tactic of advertisers and marketers:  <a href="http://www.adsavvy.org/5-elements-of-a-great-advertisement/">manipulate the viewer by creating unnatural associations</a>.</p>
