Correction, “An atheist versus a believer thing”
You’ve been have a hissy fit for a couple days now about the movie. Have you seen it? If not, go see it so you can comment from the perspective of someone who’s seen the acutally movie and not just hearsay, or extrapolating from an interview.
I felt the movie was more about academic freedom and discourse in the scientific community.
So you are for firing any scientist that says his research is not explained by random chance?? Stalin would be proud of our academia.

As for me, I'll go with God's book after all, He was there at the beginning. And I admit that it is my religious convictions and absolute believe in the word of God that leads me to that conclusison. Why is it that evolutionist can not be as honest, for there is no science in evolution, just one changing theroy after an other, one misguide belief after another.
I’m trying to understand what is wrong with Stein’s statements.
ID isn’t science. It’s faith. Faith is religion. Ben Stein is exactly right. It’s similar to calling liberals, “progressives.” They are still liberals.
Present both positions. Let God sort em out.
With your recent barrage of zealous indignation about this film it would be foolish for anyone to take your word on what Ben Stein said.
Presuming it was Geraldo that asked the question, the left-right question is irrelevant except to say that more on the right possess a critical eye towards Darwinian evolutionary dogma to the exclusion of a role of higher power. Evolutionary zealots can never seem to explain, as Dawkins apparently posits in the film, how the aliens that may have created life here on earth were created themselves.
In the end from what I have gathered the film's ultimate point is the leftist politization of the sciences to the point that any evidence to the contrary to the accepted dogma is to be shunned, ridiculed, banned etc.
When a 20-word statement in the form of a sticker to a text book stating that ID is a belief of many is banned because it is considered teaching ID then it is clear that evolutionary zealots can't stand the heat of competition even in a bumper sticker format.
As I pointed out to you in a previous thread (<-click), it's only Constitution-ignoring atheists and secularists who are cheerleading the USSC's anti-religious expression perversions (<-click) of our constitutional religious freedoms who are concerned about the religious aspects of ID.
Again, if it weren't for the problem that pro-ID factions evidently do not know the Constitution and its history where our religious freedoms are concerned, there's nothing in the Constitution that says that ID cannot be discussed in public schools, religion-related or not, and as long as people's 14th A. protections are respected.
Again, you're evidently in denial about what's going on.
One line from an interview, without having seen his film...which touches extensively upon atheism by interviewing evolutionists.
How about this headline:

Five star movie. Saw it Friday and can’t recommend it highly enough. Stein gives the leading Darwinists enough rope to hang themselves. Instead, they apparently decided to blow themselves up, and the bridge behind them.
My friend just got back from seeing the movie — he said it was great and highly encouraged everyone to see it!
