Mr. Stein, this is an invitation to join the discussion, and get even
more exposure:

You seem pretty confident about what you have claimed (anti-evolution
scientists are "expelled," "Darwinism" leads to Nazism, etc.), so you
should have no problem defending your views right here on Talk
Origins, where you can converse with people who represent the whole
spectrum of opinions.

I may have missed it among all your other comments, but since you
apparently agree with the DI's advocacy of * not * teaching
creationism or ID, yet find "Darwinism" scientifically as well as
philosophically problematic, surely you must have some opinion on how,
where and when the design was actuated in biology. Even if you agree
that the science of ID is not ready for prime time.

Specifically, do you agree with the IDer who is the closest thing to a
real biologist, Michael Behe, that life on Earth has a 3-4 billion
year history and that humans are biologically related to other
species? If you're unsure, best guesses will do.

Also, what do you think of comments like Dr. Laura's "evolution is a
sign of God's creativity," or the late Pope John Paul II's description
of the evidence for evolution as "convergence, neither sought nor
fabricated" (which starkly contrasts with the always * sought and
fabricated * "weaknesses" of evolution that have only resulted in a *
divergence * of opinion that is increasingly covered up by a "don't
ask, don't tell" policy)?

Do you have reason to believe Ben Stein reads this board?  That would
be great!

DI fellows must surely read it, or at least find some lackeys to do so
and report back. They used to even post here before the Internet
reached the "masses." A few (e.g. Paul Nelson) still occasionally post
to the Panda't Thumb. And I would imagine that Stein exchanges notes
regularly with the DI.

But yes, they mostly stay on safe turf, where they can delete
inconvenient replies.


I suspect that what he believes is a big fat paycheck is superior to a
thin anemic one.- Hide quoted text -
