TV Alert: Expelled
Posted on March 30th, 2008 by blue collar scientistMy TIVO has a season pass on the word “evolution,” and it has just informed me that a half-hour TV show called “Epelled: No Intelligence Allowed” will air on April 6 at 11:30 PM Alaska Daylight Time on FAMNET, whatever station that is - definitely a religious station, but nothing I’ve ever heard of. The program appears on my schedule as an infomercial.
Is this already available online somewhere? Or is this going to be the first airing?
Edit to add: Assuming there’s no eastern/pacific split on this station, that would be at 3:30 AM Eastern Daylight Time. Not exactly a great time slot.

FAMNET is a “television ministry of the Southern Baptist Convention.” See:
http://www.familynet.com/
They apparently haven’t published their full schedule for April yet, so the site doesn’t have any further information at this time.
Thanks for reporting on this!

Here’s a screen shot from “A Journey Into The Cell” from “Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed”…
And the same scene from Harvard’s “The Inner Life of the Cell” for comparison…
There are striking similarities as has been pointed out already by many others.

Ah, your comments don’t allow embedded images. Too bad. Here are the links.

Bad, have a look at this. I’m just too swamped to watch it this week, but I will get to it sooner or later.
