Is Ben Stein the new face of Creationism?

[nhboy]

" How do you re-package that tried, untested and untestable faith-without-facts warhorse, "Creationism" after its nearly-annual beat-down by an increasingly exasperated scientific community?

After you've tried renaming it "Intelligent Design," I mean.

With comedy. Mock your "Darwinist" foes the way comics, thinkers, scientists and educated people everywhere have been mocking creationism since Scopes took that monkey off our back.

Tuck into them the way Michael Moore would, with a documentary hosted by a funny Don Quixote willing to tilt at science the way MM has gone after the gun culture, corporate cold-heartedness, George W. Bush and Big Health Care.

Get droll funnyman and ex-Nixon speech writer Ben Stein to host it, to be the on-camera jester-interviewer.

And re-cast this argument about what people chose to believe vs. what others can prove as fact as a fight for "Freedom."

What's the real difference? :shrug: One theory or another, neither with proof or an agreement within the respective society on details.... sounds like a bunch of

NH Boy...

Have you stopped beating your wife?

If that questions seems unfair...just know that your horrible wording and intense bias mimics this attitude and does more damage to your slanted beliefs. I simply do not even want to discuss issues with you not because I can't...I know how much of a waste of time it is.

Remember, you catch more with honey than vinegar.


I have more freedom than my peers in the government schools:
I can discuss the theory of evolution, intelligent design, creationismpenly.

I bet that infuriates you.

You would lose that bet, nothing you have written infuriates me.

BTW, I neglected to include the url in the OP. I just inserted it. Sorry for the confusion. I would suggest you address the wording and bias with the columnist Roger Moore.
