Comments on: from Ben Stein: “Darwinism cannot explain gravity” (with video) http://curricublog.org/2008/05/03/ben-stein-darwinism-gravity/ Tony Whitson's blog on curriculum-related matters Thu, 27 Nov 2008 03:32:01 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=MU hourly 1 By: Kevin Currie http://curricublog.org/2008/05/03/ben-stein-darwinism-gravity/#comment-21411 Kevin Currie Thu, 10 Jul 2008 22:00:25 +0000 http://curricublog.wordpress.com/?p=229#comment-21411 I have read enough Dawkins to know that, bet on how, the quote was taken out of context. I haven't seen the full clip, but I am guessing that Dawkins was talking about the APPERAANCE of design - as he often does - before talking about how evolution is quite capable of producing it wilthout an actual designer. It would be smart if all evolutionists who dare consent to interviews with those they do not know do so under the stipulation that they recieve an unedited copy of the full interview. That way, the pressure can be kept on the director not to quote out of context under threat of the interviewee going very public with the real clip.

Educational standards have gone down over the past several decades, so while you may disagree with Stein's observations of science, the premise of hi statement is supported by the data. Gary,

I saw Ben Stein on the Glenn Beck show back in February when he was promoting the film. He worked himself into a rant about academia that ended with this gem: "The more degrees they have, the less they know" (or something very close to that). What utter nonsense! I used to like Ben Stein when he was on "Win Ben Stein's Money" and some other shows. It's been disappointing to see him promoting this garbage.

Thanks for brightening my day.

What passes for science today, in <a href="http://www.morethancake.org/2008/04/creation-is-not-science.html" rel="nofollow">both Evolution and Creation</a> Circles, is nothing more than philosophy masked at science.
