Ben Stein gets expelled: No intelligence 

&bull posted by Matt Wharton @ 1:59 PM  

Ben Stein, actor, game show host, economist and White House speechwriter has embarked upon a heroic and, at times, shocking journey in the new documentary Expelled to confront the world’s top scientists, educators and philosophers, regarding their 'persecution' of the academics who support the non-science that is Intelligent Design.

Richard Dawkins and PZ Myers amongst others claim they were duped into appearing in the film believing it to be a film that was to be titled Crossroads (no not that Crossroads, nor this one) that would be a debate about creationism versus Darwinism. No wonder Ferris took a day off from school with this guy as his teacher (NSFW).

Evolutionary science is a wide discipline with differing theories as to the mechanics of how it happened, but when one resorts to a theory that there was a creator to fill the gaps in the theory of evolution rather than look for evidence, study that evidence and hypothesize then you've stopped being a scientist and have become a fantasist.
