new Ben Stein anti-evolutionist movie Not necessarily an accurate representation of Stein's point. The point is that academics and "big science" use bullying tactics to "win" their argument, instead of openly engaging all possible directions their observations could take them.
Same tactics that are used to keep conservative ideology stifled in academia.

How do you propose testing the evidence to prove or disprove that it was intelligently designed?
