Expelled is a movie starring Ben Stein about scientists who share scientific data that goes against the theory of evolution...
Such scientists that “speak up” (regardless of their religious affiliation, or lack there of) and share such data are getting fired, lose their tenure, are rejected for publication, and are ridiculed and ostracized for even sharing such observational data.
Here is the trailer for Expelled:

And here is Richard Dawkins quote:
“As a scientist, I am pretty hostile to a rival doctrine”
“Science” is derived from the Latin word scientia, which means “knowledge”, and specifically refers to a system of developing explanations for what we observe in the world. When observations would suggest something that goes against our underlying assumptions, science is not hostile to such data and teaching, but always bends a knee to observational data, rejects explanations that don’t fit, and attempts to develop a new explanation based on observational data.
So, what has happened to science?
