Part of a series of videos exposing the funny stupidity of creationists and why they deserve to be laughed at. In each case the creationist statements are shown to be outrageously stupid by even the most rudimentary knowledge of science.


In this episode Ben Stein is taken to task over his inability to distinguish science from free speech. Stein claims that those who question evolution are discriminated against, whereas in reality this 'discrimination' is merely people getting held accountable for demonstrating their pathetic grasp of both the scientific method and scientific literature.

In simple parody terms it would be like a medic claiming that 'I don't believe in sterilizing medical instruments, and if you say otherwise you are discriminating against me, and censoring my free speech.'

The scientific literature is an open arena. Anyone who can sustain their claim with research and reason will get a fair hearing.

Creationists think the only reason they cannot compete in this arena is due to prejudice, when in reality it is merely the fact that they don't do ANY research, let alone anything worthy of being published.

Ben Stein is a creationist? I suppose that his eyes weren't clear enough to see the evidence.

[Jormangandur83]

Even if any part of the Theory of Evolution actually did mention this "lightening striking a mud puddle to create life", Ben Stein believes in a mythology where his god created the first man out of earth (mud), so it is a tad bit rich of him to be ridiculing his own straw-man argument.

The bible gives us free will, and yet the bible also says all of our choices have Been decided for us.

Christianity, the new stupid. It's the old stupid too but people seem to have forgotten that.

[ThePedmart277]

MATTHEW 5:38 “You have heard that it was said, ‘Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth.’[h] 39 But I tell you, do not resist an evil person. If anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to them the other cheek also. 40 And if anyone wants to sue you and take your shirt, hand over your coat as well. 41 If anyone forces you to go one mile, go with them two miles. 42 Give to the one who asks you, and do not turn away from the one who wants to borrow from you.

[ThePedmart277]

brother read Matthew 5:21 “You have heard that it was said to the people long ago, ‘You shall not murder,[a] and anyone who murders will be subject to judgment.’ 22 But I tell you that anyone who is angry with a brother or sister[b][c] will be subject to judgment. Again, anyone who says to a brother or sister, ‘Raca,’[d] is answerable to the court. And anyone who says, ‘You fool!’ will be in danger of the fire of hell.

Silly Theist. We have a common ancestor with Monkeys, these Ancestors looked like monkeys and in today's eye they would have been monkeys. uneducated people will use monkeys mainly because it's easier to say than Australopithecus afarensis. They probably also say it because it they do not know the full story of evolution

Also if you are Christian that means you accept BOTH the Old testament and the New testament. Do you follow the 10 Commandments? Then you follow the Old testament. Also, why Christianity? out of Judaism, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, Rastafarian, Zen Buddhism, Zoroastrianism, all these other religions is yours superior? The Ancient Greeks, Romans, and Egyptians had Gods and religions that are older than Christianity, and are still worshiped is some parts of the World

[AreEcksThree]

I have read the new testament, and for your information Catholicism is a branch of Christianity. I have a hard time believing a carpenter died so I could live 2000 years later. Also, if Jesus loved me, wouldn't he accept me for my own beliefs instead of forcing them upon me? I love my Girlfriend and she is a Buddhist, I do not try and change her opinions to suit my goal of atheism, that's because I accept her differences, why should we follow the law of Jesus if we want to get into heaven?

[ThePedmart277]

1- I'm not catholic

2- I'm not Jews

3- God gives you free will, READ THE BIBLE

4- No longer will abide by the law of Moses, where people got stones READ THE BIBLE

5- I'm a CHRISTIAN

6- I love my enemy

7- I pray for those who persecute me

8- please brother read THE NEW TESTAMENT, There is not hate or killing in there, except for JESUS, who died for you and me, He loves you and wants to save you soul.

The ones where I have to murder people because they work on Sundays.

The ones where I should stone people who like the same sex

The ones that say I should allow my (future) daughter to be raped and then married

The ones that say that if you find a woman who's had sex out of marriage should be murdered.

The ones that say that there is an all forgiving god, who then commits genocide

The ones that say you should give up all free will in the name of "God"

These are the things that offend me
