I haven't deleted any. I had yet to approve your previous comment. I have now approved both. I hope you are happy. This topic seems very important to you. I am no a Christian, nor do I believe in Creationism A.K.A. Intelligent Design. Evolution is backed by a good deal of observation and experimentation. However, Evolution still doesn't explain creation, nor does the Big Bang Theory. What caused the Big Bang? At some point, even as a vaguely spiritual person who is a big fan of science, I have to admit that science can never answer every question about the universe, because we are inside the experiment, and can't see it from outside. I liked Ben Stein's Expelled not because I want religious dogma to take education back from the scientific method, but because it makes the interesting point that in some cases, religion is now as oppressed by science as science was once oppressed by religion. There should be room in this world for the skepticism of science and the faith of spirituality of faith. Actually, you are the only person who has commented. I haven’t deleted any.

Please see http://www.expelledexposed.com/ to learn the truth about Expelled and its claims. It is really sad that so many people believe what Expelled is saying without researching the facts for themselves.
