It would seem this author doesn’t know very much about Ben Stein.

The author has a well-honed BS detector. Stein sent it off the scale this time.....

Roger Friedman’s outrage may persuade me to buy a ticket to see this movie. His outrage proves the point Ben wants to make in the movie.

I disagree, but that’s okay.

It would also seem the author is in line for an eye opening experience after death.

Looks to me like Stein rankled some anti-theists with this movie.
At least, he exposed their inability and reluctance to have open discussion on the topic.

If evolution is true and there is no Creator,
wouldn’t we be required, “ethically”, to kill the unfit?

The best part is the description of the film’s distribution pattern (executive summary: the marketers figure that the South is full of dumb goobers who will fall for their line of malarkey).

Fox News has some dumb writers. To suggest that this movie has an anti-Semitism theme is absurd. Exactly the opposite is true.

The gist of Steins involvement is: Hes outraged! He believes in God! God created the universe! Evolutionary theory is not about who created the universe.
Some of the claims in this movie (e.g. that George Mason U fired a dissident biology professor) are just plain BS. She was a part-time instructor and her contract wasn't renewed. She went on to a full time position with another school in the state university system.
IMO, GMU would have been well within its right to fire her, but they didn't.
My opinion of Ben Stein will never be the same. Either his research skills are inexcusably bad or he is nothing more than an ideologue with no interest in facts.

What a snarky article. I’m planning on seeing this movie the day it opens.

The local "alternative newspaper" that I read for fun when I'm eating Chinese food had a cover story on the "Creation Museum" that opened here in Ohio. Now, I am a "God-took-a-million-years-to-make-his-Children-come-about" kind of guy, not looking to start a flame war here with you "Literal-7-dayers" but the point is, the newspaper produced by the very people who scream I should
TOLERATE every sin imaginable were going through absolute apoplexy that this place was allowed to operate. I'm serious. The "man in the street" folks that this rag polled sounded like the Christians who visited the place should be ashamed of themselves.
Once again, ladies and gentleman, I present The Left: Telling you exactly what you should be allowed to believe, while they are pillorying you for not accepting them.

Disgusting.
One either abandons reason and the Scientific method or one goes to hell? What Jack Chick comic did you glean that little theological gem from?
Most Scientists in the U.S.A. are Christian. Most know that I.D. is not Science but a religious philosophy. Many of them are named Steve apparently.
“The truth of our faith becomes a matter of ridicule among the infidels if any Christian, not gifted with the necessary scientific learning, presents as dogma what scientific scrutiny shows to be false.”

If evolution is true and there is no Creator, wouldnt we be required, ethically, to kill the unfit? Evolution being true is not incompatible with the existence of a Creator.
For the record, Darwin was adamantly opposed to killing the "unfit." I believe his words could also be interpreted to indicate that he was appalled by abortion, which he considered "perverted."
I can put up some quotes if anyone is actually interested in what Darwin thought.
