Thanks for that link, weemadando. The video is full of bullshit. My favorite part is when he claims you have to believe in God and creationism to have moral responsibility.
It's too bad we do not know what else Dawkins said.
Ben Stein's Expelled documentary
Moderator: Alyrium Denryle
Scientific American interviews Mark Mathis of Expelled
In short,
- SA destroys Mark's arguments
- Mark Mathis is a lying piece of shit

Yes, all is black & white. Anyhting else would be confusing for IDiots indeedSA: The film tries to show that all scientists who believe in evolution are part of an atheist conspiracy. Why didn't you interview someone like Ken Miller who is a devout christian and believes in evolution?
Mathis: We felt that would confuse the point of the film.

It's blatant and obvious straw grasping...Chris Parr wrote:I thought Copernicus and Isaac Newton and Galileo were the ones who did that.Ben Stein, raving dull-voiced moron wrote:Darwinism doesn't explain how the planets stay in their orbits.
Sadly, there're idiots who're going to smile and nod... and say, "Yah know, Ah never thought o it laihk dat."
Rule one of Existance: Never, under any circumstances, underestimate stupidity. As it will still find ways to surprise you.

It's less about intelligence, and more about what delusions you subscribe to.
The folks who would buy into it, already have a bias against science and are simply looking for things to support their flailing world view.

You know what's really insulting to me? Even when all the media outlets slam his idiot documentary, they turn around and start giving him editorial space. (By the way, it's his rambling on peak oil. This is my only warning.) And they have the gall to end it with:
Ben Stein is a lawyer, writer, actor and economist.
