What are the steps that go from
1)nothing to everything
2)non-life to life
3)randomness to fine-tuning
4)chaos to information
5)non-consciousness to consciosness
6)non-reason to reason
I am skeptical that science will ever be able to explain these.

I saw the movie and it was excellent. But this interview and the gentleman that interviewed Ben Stein was tremendous. Thanks for the link.

Unfortunately, based on everything I've heard about Mr. Stein's much needed movie, even Mr. Stein seems to be unaware the broader problem of the USSC's unlawful stifling of free religious speech in public schools.

From a related thread...

In 1987, The Supreme Court of the United States ruled that teaching creationism in public schools violated the separation of church and state in Edwards vs. Aquilard.
If anybody wants to see the USSC's bogus separation of church and state disappear before their eyes, a politically correct perversion of our constitutional religious freedoms that was wrongly legislated from the bench when the Court decided Cantwell v. Connecticut in 1940, then please read the following post. Note that while the post concerns a 10 Commandments issue it is also applicable to this thread.
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1992174/posts?page=22#22
Note, for instance, that the states have the constitutional power (10th A.) to authorize public schools to lead non-mandatory (14th A.) classroom discussion on the pros and cons of evolution, creationism and irreducible complexity, as examples, regardless that atheists, separatists, secular judges and the liberal media are misleading the people to think that doing such things in public schools is unconstitutional.

The bottom line, as mentioned in the referenced post, is that the people need to reconnect with the Founder's division of federal and state powers, particularly where the wrongly ignored 10th A. power of the states to address religious issues is concerned, power now limited by the honest interpretation of the 14th Amendment. The people then need to get in the faces of renegade justices and do a major spring cleaning where USSC respect for our religious freedoms is concerned. President Lincoln put it this way.

"We the People are the rightful master of both congress and the courts - not to overthrow the Constitution, but to overthrow the men who pervert the Constitution." --Abraham Lincoln (Political debates between Lincoln and Douglas), 1858.
