Stumble ThisBen Stein on the O'Reilly Factor hocking his new movie and complaining that Intellegnt Design proponants, "Just want all the facts on the table" and that the intellegencia of the world are singling them out because they're too entrenched in their own dogma.
It's amazing how much they don't understand. "Darwin was a brilliant guy, but it doesn't say how life began." Exactly. This clip is great because it demonstrates, more than words ever could, how people get evolution wrong, how logical fallacies are perpetuated, and how people don't take the time to understand opposing ideas.

Unlike religion, science doesn't allow you to pick and choose what's right and wrong, you need to prove it. We've never seen an actual picture of an atom, but I don't think people could possibly disagree with the atomic model. Scientists are shutting down the intelligent design theory because it can't be proven, and even if it could be, there's no real way to apply it to anything physical.
just one teaspoon full of super AIDS in your ass and yer dead in three years btw.
I am an atheist. My wife is a Christian.
The reason we don't argue about this?
BECAUSE IF YOUR THEORY IS THAT GOD CREATED EVERYTHING, THEN IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT NEW SCIENTIFIC THEORY COMES ALONG.
Evolution? GOD DID IT.
Dinosaurs? GOD DID IT.
Big bang? GUESS WHAT!!
I support anybody's rights of free speech in America but this argument is getting tired.
And for the literalists who think that the world is only around four thousand years old? Stop working on the sabbath(Exodus 35:2). Stop wearing clothes made of multiple fibers(Lev. 19:19). Cut all contact with any woman on her period(Lev. 15:19-24). And start stoning to death, anyone who doesn't comply(Lev. 24:10-16).
In short, whether you believe or not, some parts of the Bible are either allegory, or you're stupid.
And one more thing: How exactly does a country that is 70% Christian, persecute christians for their beliefs? Aren't we maybe throwing the word persecute around just a little to much?
I respect you but when you start throwing around words like persecution and intolerance. It sounds like your asking for a fight. And you still outnumber us almost ten to one. So suck it up a little will ya?!?!?!
I guess they get credit for being persistent.. but slamming your head into a wall over and over doesn't get you through it..
Screw atheism, I'm taking up Buddhism.
The first amendment has nothing to do with education. Freedom of speech is not what a classroom is about. And religion does not equal or even overlap with science. Hell, you don't hear about gravity in sunday school either.
Its amazing how his opinion becomes "fact"
"Hey kids, Jesus made the first primordial life, (then came back 5 billion years later to die for you sins, but I can't tell you that part in school). If that doesn't make sense, well, we just made it up because science hasn't nailed down an answer yet."
Ben, they're not trying to shut you up because you disagree with them, they're trying to shut you up because your "theory" is completely unscientific, and has no place in the scientific community. It's not persecution, it's like a fat ugly girl demanding to be crowned Miss America because it's her constitutional right. It's not. You are not having your free speech repressed, you are being rejected for stupidity. Big difference.
You are free to preach your nonsense in church or print, or on the street corner. But if a scientific committee decides to pull funding from somebody who is doing something that's not scientific, that's not censorship.
"Darwinism was a brilliant theory in the beginning of the 19th century, but we're in the 21st century"
To which you can only say, ID is still creationism, which was a great theory before we learned that it was false, some 400 years ago. Duurh.
