Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed  - Quotes

 Ben Stein:
What do think is the possibility that there then, intelligent design might turn out to be the answer to some issues in genetics... or in evolution?
Richard Dawkins:
Well... it could come about in the following way: it could be that uh, at some earlier time somewhere in the universe a civilization e-evolved... by probably by some kind of Darwinian means to a very very high level of technology and designed a form of life that they seeded onto... perhaps this... this planet. Um, now that is a possibility. And uh, an intriguing possibility. And I suppose it's possible that you might find evidence for that if you look at the um, at the detail... details of our chemistry molecular biology you might find a signature of some sort of designer.
Ben Stein:
[voice over] Wait a second. Richard Dawkins thought intelligent design might be a legitimate pursuit?
Richard Dawkins:
Um, and that designer could well be a higher intelligence from elsewhere in the universe. But that higher intelligence would itself would have to come about by some explicable or ultimately explicable process. It couldn't have just jumped into existence spontaneously. That's the point.
Ben Stein:
[voice over] So professor Dawkins was not against intelligent design, just certain types of designers. Such as God.

Anna?

Anna Foster:
No, no, no, I'm so sorry to have interrupted. Excuse me. [Anna leaves]
President James Foster:
So third base is what again? [indistinct mumbling]
President James Foster:
Glad I asked.

Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed  - Quotes

 Ben Stein:
I'm finally just beginning to grasp the complexity of the cell. Are there systems within the cell that go well beyond Darwinian evolution? Some type of cellular technology that drives adaptation, replication, quality control and repair? What if these new mechanisms have massive design implications? Well I say, so be it.

Thirteen Days  - Quotes

 President Kennedy:
Last summer I read a book. The Guns of August. I wish every man on that blockade line had read that book. World War One. Thirteen million killed all because the militaries of both alliances believed they were so highly attuned to one another's movements and dispositions, they could predict one another's intentions, but all their theories were based on the last war. The world and technology had changed, and those lessons were no longer valid, but it was all they knew, so the orders went out. Couldn't be rescinded. The man in the field, his family at home,they couldn't even tell you the reasons why their lives were being destroyed. But why couldn't they stop it? What could they have done?

Swedish!

It's a very safe car - a very safe car, and I'm an excellent driver. I've never been in an accident - well at least not while behind the wheel. But even strapped in to all of this marvelous technology of the reenforced doors and roof - we could still get crushed.

Deadlands: The Rising  - Quotes

 
[first lines]
Michelle:
[narration] Six Months, that's how long it took for the world as we knew it to come to an end. The bible preached the world would end in fire and war. It ended in plauges and hunger. All brought on by the technology built to protect us. Conventional Weapons weren't enough, we built more powerful weapons. Weapons capable of spreading disease, plagues or hunger, weapons designed to do the un-imaginable... and in the end, it took one man with one weapon.
