That is why there was Gould and his magic evolution.

I understand that Ben Stein is a smart man, and quite knowledgable about various subjects. I don’t know if he is qualified to debate Evolution, however.

I wouldn’t mind if they brought back “Win Ben Stein’s Money”. That was an entertaining show, and I like his articles on yahoo.com’s finance page.

It was a great show. Did you know the money the contestants won was actually his? Saw him on an interview, and thats what he told the host. Except the shows I watched he never lost.

Thats an interesting comment. Now pray tell what qualifies a person to debate “evolution”?

He doesn’t debate, he narrates and hosts the movie. He let’s the Darwinists and neo-Darwinists string themselves up on their own words.

The God Delusion. Dawkins astoundingly admits that life on earth could be the result of ID, as long as the designer was a being from outer space who was himself the product of atheistic evolution. No God allowed!I don't think its fair to the Darwinists to lump them all in with nut jobs like Dawkins.

The only people that are allowed to debate evolution are those who have already committed to a philosophy which assumes naturalism and are committed to evolution.
Those who don’t, obviously aren’t qualified to debate it....
To: Paradox
I dont know if he is qualified to debate Evolution, however.Am I "qualified" to debate global warming?

Why don’t I just make this easier on everyone and get this out:
“Ben Stein is an idiot lackey for a bunch of dumb a&*$ creationists.”
There.
Now that that has been said, those of you who were dying to say that can just move along.
The rest of us can discuss this rationally.
Anyone seen the movie? I have. It is fantastic.

Heh. Yeah. And that is pretty much the conclusions of the atheists in the movie.
You should see it. You will find yourself laughing out loud at them. Stein doesn’t have to trick them or anything. He just lets them talk, and they look like fools.
To: ConservativeDude
Kind of like the interviews with the Code Stinkers.
When your opponent is in the process of destroying himself, don’t stop him.

Did Darwinism bulwark Hitlerian hatred by providing a scientific rationale for killing those considered less fit in the struggle for survival?Absolutely.
Darwinism helped them philosophically, just as the combustion engine helped them build tanks. It doesn't necessarily mean that Darwinism always supports evils such as Nazi eugenics. What it does is show that it lends itself to support such evil.
An objective philosopher or scientist should not object, unless they have some kind of unexamined emotional attachment to Darwinism...which it turns out many do, as is commonly manifest by them getting offended when this obvious connection is pointed out.
