Ben Stein, he is an excellent writer. He is a true patriot. He supports our troops.
He has chosen to tackle an issue that is long over due.
"Intelligent design," takes both creationism and evolution into consideration and blends them into a congruent theory. "Intelligent design," teaches that evolution did happen, but it was guided by a higher source then just happenstance. It explains that God must have guided evolution to eventually lead to where we are now, or where we will be eventually in the future.

Didn’t he recently come out in support of Al Franken?

I quit reading and listening to Ben when he made the Franken endorsement.

I’m going to wait to see it before I pass judgment.
Yes, I know, I know! That’s dangerous thinking around here but I’m going for it.

Ben Stein lied in order to secure interviews for his new movie. Yet another “godly” hypocrite. Stein and his fellow bunch of creationist hucksters would best be advised to review Job 27:8.

What is wrong with Ben? When I heard this I thought he developed Alzheimer's.

You think it might be a complete lie?

It isn’t a candidate I would support. But, I will make this very clear and in black and white.
During my husband’s first deployment, Ben was most supportive to me and all the troops who were deployed with Dave. He is just as supportive during my husband’s current deployment.
I am honored to call him friend.
I would also say, that he cares deeply for our troops and for those who are recovering at Walter Reed. He does this by his actions.
Yes, folks should judge others by their actions. Ben’s character is greatly respected.
I know that Ben and his beloved are true patriots.

No, he did not lie. Your stating that is either done in ignorance or is a calculated lie itself.

"Intelligent design," teaches that evolution did happen, but it was guided by a higher source then just happenstance. It explains that God must have guided evolution to eventually lead to where we are now, or where we will be eventually in the future. Intelligent design has been determined to be religion in disguise by a U.S. Federal District Court, and has been determined not to be science by the overwhelming majority (probably 99.5%+) of the relevant scientific community.

“While this theory has been debated for years by scientists, and religious, evolution has been predominately taught in schools and universities. The majority of the members of the scientific community has scoffed at the other two theories of creationism and, “intelligent design,” for decades.”
Oh those eeeeeevil scientific community who “scoffed”. Where does ‘scoff’ stand on the objectivity meter as far as editorial language? And Creationism is not a Scientific theory it is a religious belief; intelligent design is a postulate or hypothesis at best, and its main claim was only advanced recently, so it would be hard to ‘scoff’ at it for decades when it was only 11 years ago.
Also I believe the book he needs to reference in his article is “Descent of Man” not “Origin of Species”, but I guess a proper citation might be too much to expect from the mental giant who penned what is quoted above.
‘This theory has been debated for years by religious’??? Religious what? He doesn’t say. And are theories decided by debate? ‘Religious’ and ‘Scientists’ conflated as if the majority of Scientists were not religious.
What a hack writer.

I wasn’t questioning his patriotism. I liked his ad for Chuck Poochigian last year in California. I maybe question his judgment in supporting looney Al Franken. I believe God created everything just like He said He did so maybe this film would be worth watching. He did “intelligently design” the universe.
To: Former Military Chick
I'm happy to hear Ben has done such work and supports our Military and it's soldiers.
I view his backing of Franklin as a very poor lack of judgment.

Intelligent design has been determined to be religion in disguise by a U.S. Federal District Court...Abortion has been found to be a fundamental Constitutional right by the US Supreme Court. I guess that makes it true.
