They will play the "fairness" card only as long as it works to their political advantage.<BR/><BR/>Why did they interview staunch atheist pro-evolution professors to the exclusion of religious ones?<BR/><BR/>Why even <I>mention</I> the Nazis if they didn't really mean it?<BR/><BR/>Why bring "free speech" into the issue at all, when free speech also includes the right to spout all sorts of crap. Education, science, reporting your income and making claims of drug effectiveness do not belong to this "anything goes" class of speech.<BR/><BR/>Why does Stein spout things like "But,as a theory that explains everything in terms of evolution--in terms of development of life, it explains very, very little. Darwinism doesn't explain where gravity comes from." or "Science leads to killing people." in interviews?<BR/><BR/>How can he be a promoter of free thought with such base misunderstandings of what he is fighting against?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8069167524266168953.post-45858672270882815582008-04-22T17:31:00.000-04:002008-04-22T17:31:00.000-04:00Ben Stein's goal in making Expelled (i gather) is ...Ben Stein's goal in making Expelled (i gather) is to promote free thought, especially more thinking about motivations that drive American academia and a lot of other behind-the-scenes worldview that we tend to take for granted.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
