Re: ben stien's new movie on intelligent design
This looks kind of interesting. I like Ben Stein. I really liked, "Win Ben Stein's Money" or whatever it was.
Seriously
Re: ben stien's new movie on intelligent design
i'd like to know the sequences in our dna that couldnt possibly have come about any other way than from the hand of god. i'll pry go see this if it plays around me.

yeah, this could be interesting, and i'm thinking Stein will make it fairly entertaining.

Re: ben stien's new movie on intelligent design
seems interesting. but i really hate science vs christianity ideas. why can't they both co-exist? oh yeah, religious dogma on both sides.
Even today, I can't see a car run a red light without instantly having an image flash into my head of a man's erect penis, penetrating a watermelon.

Re: ben stien's new movie on intelligent design
From what I've read on this, it seems that this movie is out to expose that issue. I think most are aware of the dogma on the religious side, but maybe not so familiar with the other side. I'll probably watch it, but I don't know about going to a theatre for it. We'll see.ilikehorses wrote:seems interesting. but i really hate science vs christianity ideas. why can't they both co-exist? oh yeah, religious dogma on both sides.

Re: ben stien's new movie on intelligent design
this looks really boring. first, even if the premise of ID vs. Science sounded interesting(it doesn't), why the hell would i care what a right wing, pro-life, nixon apologist turned TV personality thinks?
there is a reason why the scientific community widely rejects Intelligent Design folks, it's because it's fucking insane.
if i submitted a theory that the world was created by a committee of Magical Pandas, i would expect the same reaction.
also it's worth noting that there are already reports of at least two scientists in this film who say that their statements have been manipulated in a way that does not reflect their views.

bpe, hmm not if i can help it. tj likes almost everything and grant is voting for obama this year, so who the hell knows what will happen.
good point. ben stein is quoted for saying that the theory of evolution was "inspiration for the Holocaust". though im quite sure that religion is responsible for most of the genocide that's taken place.hank fist wrote:anyone who doesn't want to see this movie hates jews.

Re: ben stien's new movie on intelligent design
yeah, but it's especially bad when you're a pro-evolution scientist being interviewed for a film attempting to prove Intelligent Design. just sayin.hank fist wrote:everytime someone realizes they look like a huge jackass on a huge screen, they say this. just sayin.

Re: ben stien's new movie on intelligent design
I don't think this movie is out to prove intelligent design. I think it's trying to expose the black-listing of scientists who are willing to consider and/or ascribe to intelligent design. Which by the way, I've seen impressive evidence for this theory.@nonymous wrote:yeah, but it's especially bad when you're a pro-evolution scientist being interviewed for a film attempting to prove Intelligent Design. just sayin.hank fist wrote:everytime someone realizes they look like a huge jackass on a huge screen, they say this. just sayin.

they haven't been black-listed, their theory has nothing to do with science. why would the scientific community embrace it?wheatstache wrote:I don't think this movie is out to prove intelligent design.

it's ironic to me that the same closed-minded folks who can't wrap their mind around the simplest, most basic aspects of human life on earth--people's sexuality, political beliefs, alternative lifestyles--are the ones who somehow manage to believe in the most absurd delusions, like a talking snake in a tree.

Re: ben stien's new movie on intelligent design
Like I said, there's evidence out there for it. It's scientific and mathematic. I'm not predisposed to concepts in either subject naturally, so I'm not going to debate that- nor do I want to. Regardless, there is scientific theory behind it. Either way, I still don't think the movie is out to prove intelligent design.@nonymous wrote:they haven't been black-listed, their theory has nothing to do with science. why would the scientific community embrace it?wheatstache wrote:I don't think this movie is out to prove intelligent design.

BTW, not all Christians are closed-minded idiots who don't recognize that a lot of the creation narrative is poetry and probably wasn't intended to be taken literally. Sometimes, people see what they want. That includes you @.

if you wanna see a nutty celebrity trying to prove the impossible, check out some charlie sheen 9-11 truth movement stuff, it's phenomenal.

Re: ben stien's new movie on intelligent design
You are wrong on this one, The Theory of intelligent design and Evolution theory are both theories. However a majority of the Scienists consider Evolution an axiom even though there is little or no hard proof, beyond the end resolutes of adaption. Which could have been programed into the DNA. After over a hundred years of searching they have yet to find the "Missing Link".@nonymous wrote:they haven't been black-listed, their theory has nothing to do with science. why would the scientific community embrace it?wheatstache wrote:I don't think this movie is out to prove intelligent design.

The Theory of Evolution was in fact used to justify the Holocaust. The Nazis claimed that through evolution they had evolved into a specie of animal also known as the "Master Race" and it was their responsiblity to avoid breeding with lesser species of humans aka Jews, Homosexuals, Gypsies, Africans, those born with birth defects, etc... The finial solution for this was to exterminate them.
The bottom line here is that this is science. It should be open to new and opposing Theories. Not to require scienist to tow the line. This is not productive and will not lead to advancement on either side. Also the theory of Intelligent design does not stop at god, one does not have to have faith in an all knowing, all powerful god to have a Hypothesis that this couldn't all have came to past by chance. When you step back and look at it, no one can prove one way or another. The odds of either happening are stacked against our existence.

It is possible that the triger was set by an intelligent power and then left to develope from there. There is a lot of gray in this subject.

The stupidity in the previous posts is absolutely suffocating. Get a fucking dictionary or you will not be taken seriously. Do you realize that it underlines incorrectly spelled words?
Anonymous, you are the biggest hypocrite I've seen on this board. What proof does either side have? None. You are retarded.
