It amazes me how smart Ben Stein is at times, and then at other times, he has no clue to what he is talking about.
I really liked his movie, “Expelled: No Intelligence allowed.”
Wish more people could think consistently, like Evan Sayet! He really gets it!!!! Stein has a ways to go, yet, to develop his logic.

It’s not so much that they’re stupid. They may well be striking a contrarian pose, which is worse in my mind than being stupid. When you’re stupid, you can learn, but if you’re deceiving people just to get their attention, that’s vanity.
