Ben Stein: ID is religion!

Ben Stein openly admits what every rational human being already knows: ID is not science. It is religion!

Thank you for finally setting the record straight on ID, Ben.

i know ben stein

[tingtangs]

My condolences.

[pecarson]

looks like that was taken out of context, maybe he was quoting someone else...?

[tingtangs]

Nope, not taken out of context. I'm not a CREATIONIST, after all. I don't do quote mining.

[prschuster]

Ben Stein can have his God back, but if a religious belief is contradicted by well established facts, laws & theories in science it can't be taught in a science classroom. Evolution really happens and there is no evidence for conscious intent being involved in the process.

[tingtangs]

Religious views should never be taught in science class, period.

Ooo btw, I bet Ben Stein and people who lead religion and church know that there is no fucking god and they just say that to manipulate people for there own in interest (money, power). If you know little fucking history there should not be a problem to see that, only if you are really retarded.

It was so much easier to like that man when all he did was say "Bueller" or let people try to win his money. Now he's nothing but a parody of himself. And a joke. And as far as I'm concerned, plain wrong. Intelligent Design is sexed up creationism and nothing more.

@tingtangs Except when a field of science is created where religions themselves are studied. But that already exists, just with a different name.

@Ether165 No you see, a Theory is a conclusion come up by examining the evidence. Now saying that microorganisms are the cause of disease (Germ Theory) is also still a theory. Now i'm not sure if we are into the Big Bang now, but in that case, it's the best we have. We take the radiation of left overs of the Big Bang and other evidence and begin to form this Theory. It is hard to test because it happened over 13 billions years ago. Yet to fill in what we don't know with fairy tales is insanity

[Ether165]

@TheRationalist76 I believe there is some speculation amongst the science community about a non linear universe, i remember reading an article somewhere about the problems of a non linear universe like what i mentioned in my last comment, but i can't seem to find it again. Also, shouldn't we wait to say we know it's there, it's still a theory. The math can seem right, but if we don't end up finding any physical evidence to get it passed the second step of the scientific method, they'll change it

[TheRationalist76]

@Ether165 Can i ask why you think everything "hast" to have a beginning and end? What evidence did you come across that caused this conclusion? The truth is that the mind is too linear to grasp the idea of eternity, so we try and act as if the universe were linear (which it isn't). Dark energy wouldn't be termed if we didn't know it was there, unlike God, which there is no evidence for

[Ether165]

@TheRationalist76 everything had to have a starting point, wouldnt it be the same thing as saying if the universe was always here, we would have invented anything we possibly could have by now, thats too much time. Everything had to have a beginning and an end, dark energy needed a beginning, dark energy is the catalyst for the creation of matter. However, dark energy (like god, at least so far) can not ben seen, tested, or the effects of it seen or measured. the universe is just strange.

[TheRationalist76]

@Ether165 You must be ill-informed about what Atheists believe in. Now first of all, you're the one that believes nothing came out of God's will, crazier than what the Big Bang promotes. First, Matter cannot be created nor destroyed, so there was never just "nothing". Second, i'm sure you're familiar to the concept E=MC^2, meaning that Energy is also matter in a sense. So before the Big Bang, there would have had to be energy (call it God if you will, just don't call it Jesus). Just my two cents

[Akira89M]

I lost all respect for ben stein, when I learned he was Creationist.

[Ether165]

@nonsuchfabio atheism = at first there was nothing...and then it exploded?

what is that...quantum mechanics that states that matter can spontaneously create itself? forgot the name exactly

i see so many atheists online like they're searching for these videos on youtube and yahoo articles to start flame wars with people who believe in religion and say we're the intolerant ones.might surprise you but even though i'm religious i haven't killed anyone in gods name lately

People tend to think that Ben Stein is a retarded idiot, but I beg the differ. Ben Stein is a GENIOUS! Obviously no one is as stupid as Ben Stein pretends to be, but he's made you believe so. Ben Stein is obviously a TROLL. So he has trolled the world and got rich from it.
