Stein brilliantly responds that he had no idea Richard Dawkins believes in intelligent design! And indeed Dawkins does seem to be saying that alien intelligence is responsible for life arriving on earth. What are we to make of this?

... that you are misrepresenting what was said, of course. I saw the movie!

Ok, so maybe God created the Universe, and had a hand in creating the first lifeform, then He used Evolution to create all the life we have today.

Not only did Stein get this confession out of Dawkins, but in the interview Dawkins looked nervous, a bit confused, messy, touchy and unprepared.

And Stein was cool as a cuke.

Stein was lucky (or was it arranged by a Higher Power) that he got Dawkins on a bad day.

I got the impression he was talking about aliens, he said life could have been seeded here on earth.

I didn’t see the movie. So what you are saying is that this article is lying?

If all the other scientists will concede that it’s possible that life on earth was designed and brought here by advanced aliens, will the arguments that scientists won’t give ID any consideration stop?

But my favorite interview was with the “crystal” guy that thought Stein was a little on the slow side because he couldn’t quite comprehend the theory that life started on “the backs of crystals.” As he repeatedly reiterated the statement, and became more impatient with Stein made for a great film sequence.

Dawkins said those that “seeded life here” (i.e. aliens in my book) must have come into being due to Darwinism on another planet.

This was my “jaw dropping” moment in the movie. Dawkins the chief evolutionist admits that maybe life on earth came from aliens. Seeing this is worth the price of admission. SEE THIS MOVIE.

So Dawkins and Crick do not believe in G.O.D. but they do believe in Xenu?

Its hard to imagine God doing trial and error, but that is exactly the scenario you are contemplating. However, that is how humans create and we are, after all, created in His image. Hmmmmmmmmm.....

. Well, it wouldn't be Darwinism it would Beldarism or Primatism, or ?

The heart and soul of Dawkins’ belief is atheism, belief in evolution is just a side issue, a convenience.
His arrogant bias is so great that he considers those that disagree with him “ignorant, evil, insane’.
So far as I'm concerned he has nothing worthwhile to say.
