scientific definition of "crystal":

"Any solid material whose atoms are arranged in a definite pattern and whose surface regularity reflects its internal symmetry.

Each of a crystal's millions of individual structural units (unit cells) contains all the substance's atoms, molecules, or ions in the same proportions as in its chemical formula (see formula weight). The cells are repeated in all directions to form a geometric pattern, manifested [more]"

Does it upset you to see someone point out that the depiction of scientific theories and concepts in this film are grossly dishonest and misleading? Because guess what, the film is a propaganda piece. Get a scientific education and maybe you can grasp some of these concepts.

Steel toe boot to Ben Stein's face.

@wade0713 LOL*MAYBE* key word

I didn't think that 23 seconds of video could piss me off so much. "He wasn't kidding." That little clip of the crystal ball at the end merely shows your own stupidity. Go back to doing what you do best: Clear Eyes commercials.

This guy is an ass

I'm a Darwinist and would prefer someone else other than Ruse as one of our representatives.

Only a scientist would be allowed to be such a fashion disaster and that fugtard beard and annoying voice and size 50 jeans is more like evolutionary reversal.

This guy needs to evolve out of KrispyKreme and onto an elliptical.

Why can't we just say I DON'T KNOW (yet)???

"Cells on the backs of crystals."

No... He was starting to explain one hypothesis for abiogenesis, which can not (by definition) start with ready-made cells. My point is that you obviously can't gain any kind of understanding of his hypothesis from this clip. Thanks for proving me right.

[samkim1111]

obviously theres more but cells on the backs of crystals is fundamentally what hes arguing for....

the point is that editing is irrelevant

[Leehofooks]

I'm sure there's more to his hypothesis than this few seconds from Stein's pseudodocumentary.

[samkim1111]

dude its beyond editing......

its a hypothesis that he supports regardless of editing

[Boy192]

Yeah, on the backs of crystals -- try watching more than a 25-second vid. or reading about it and you might understand it's not a crazy as it sounds. You know, research. Believing that a quark popped into existence is much easier to believe than an omnipotent being -- the most inconceivably complex thing imaginable -- just came into existence, or always existed. Yeah, believe that. YOU can't explain how Earth and the galaxy got its start, so try looking into cosmology instead of being a lazy-ass
