[Ha Ha Thats Very Logical]

I just saw some of Ben Stein's appearance on the Glenn Beck show, and even in the short bit I caught, it was distressingly obvious just how dishonest he's willing to be. First they showed the clip from the movie in which he gets Dawkins to discuss how one might investigate intelligent design--Dawkins says something like "you could look in the cells for the signature of the designer," and Stein says "Wait a minute--does Richard Dawkins believe in Intelligent Design?" But he says it in voice-over! He doesn't have the guts to ask Dawkins, who's sitting right there, "Does that mean you believe in Intelligent Design." No, he waits till he gets back to the studio to add a deceptive comment when Dawkins can't answer.

And then he tells Beck that Dawkins wrote on his blog that he was trying to simplify matters because Stein was so stupid. That's not the point of what Dawkins wrote at all--his point that he thought Stein was honestly stupid, not just playing stupid to lure Dawkins into saying something that could be distorted and made fun of later.

A shameful performance.

HHTVL:”I just saw some of Ben Stein’s appearance on the Glenn Beck show, and even in the short bit I caught, it was distressingly obvious just how dishonest he’s willing to be.”

You might try actually viewing the movie you are so quick to criticize. If you had seen the entire film, you would understand that the excerpt you saw was just a small part of the discussion with Dawkins. Sure there was voice-over commentary by Ben Stein throughout the film (that was actually the point of the documentary), but Dawkins dug his own grave on the topic of intelligent design possibilities.

Watch the ENTIRE film and then tell me your view Of Dawkins...
