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.

lightning striking a mud puddle is more believable than some magic man blinking life into existence.

@Logic4Win Follow up; It seems that Stein has had a couple dozen engagements since, a few voice gigs for animated shows, and a scattering of guest speaking spots. Late Late Show and CBS seem to love Stein.

Does Ben Stein have a career now? This movie was a while back now, so what has he done since then?

@thenaimis They have girls with bulging boobs. :D

video response: How to say "how are spanish language tutorial videos in any way relevant responses to the topic of ben stein's ignorance about evolution and science?" in spanish.

"No intelligence allowed". What's the inverse of an oxymoron?

[Arcexey]

@ciuacoatl same here. At some point I realized his 'intelligence' just comes from memorized facts used in gameshows, not critical thinking.

Ben Stein's collosal ignorance can't be blown out of the water, his head is too thick.
