Who's Afraid of Truth?

Over the past couple of months, our church has been viewing The Truth Project.  What has been enlightening to me are some of the details behind some common lies believed today by society.  Details on things like the myth that the founders of the United States had no religious basis in forming our nation (versus the truth that there was a religious basis).

One other "truth" discussed is that, much like global warming, Darwin-based evolutionary theory discussions have squelched the freedom to discuss ANY other possible theory.  Intelligent Design?  Don't dare discuss it.  Creationism?  Just for religious "extremists".

I thought of all this when I saw the recent trailer for Ben Stein's movie Expelled:No Intelligence Allowed (movie website here).  In the trailer, Ben mentions that today's science seems to be afraid to discuss anything else outside of Darwin's theory.  If Darwin's theory is so factual and perfect, what exactly is their fear?  Why silence every competing theory? 

I must admit....I'm intrigued.  The comments on the movie's blog intrigue me even more.
