				M. Night Shyamalan's critically-panned flick <em>The Happening</em> is Hollywood's first blockbuster to promote the anti-evolutionary theory of intelligent design. Maybe you thought Ben Stein's ill-fated documentary <em><a href="http://io9.com/378797/expelled-conspiracy-revealed">Expelled</a></em> was the only movie to argue in favor of the neo-Christian idea that an "intelligent designer" created the universe. Think again. With its references to "unexplained acts of nature" and a science teacher main character who calls evolution "just a theory," <em>The Happening</em> is basically a giant propaganda machine for intelligent design. Maybe <a href="http://www.sciam.com/article.cfm?id=i-see-doomed-people">science journalists</a> are jizzing all over its allegedly realistic plants-attack-humans plot, but we talked to Shyamalan and we know the truth.				<a href="http://io9.com/5016361/the-happening-is-the-biggest-intelligent-design-movie-of-the-year" title="Click here to read more about &quot;The Happening&quot; Is the Biggest Intelligent Design Movie of the Year">More&nbsp;&raquo;</a>
