A friend of mine always used to say, "A person is smart, but people are stupid." I was reminded of this while watching Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed over the weekend. The narrator/host of the documentary, Ben Stein, was appalled to learn that scientists and professors were losing their jobs for merely mentioning the words "intelligent design" in papers or publications. He met and interviewed the world's leading evolutionary biologists and physicists who publicly scoff at the notion of Intelligent Design (I.D.). Through the course of the interviews, however, they all eventually reveal that they do in fact admit there is some possibility that I.D. could be truth... They're just worried about what "people" will think if they find out.
Whenever we try to conform to what a particular group of people or a society seems to approve of, we will eventually be shown to be fools. But if we search our hearts to discover what we truly believe, and always remain honest and teachable, we will become very wise indeed.
