Wow. I just saw the Expelled TV ads start on CNN of all places.
What an obnoxious piece of a tripe.
One, the theory of evolution has never claimed to explain how life emerged from non-life. It is a theory to explain how species emerge from other species. Get your facts straight dumbass.
Second, I am toying with the notion of actually seeing the film this weekend. My friends and me were going to play a drinking game where we drink every time Stein utters some ham-fisted half-truth. I am just a little concerned that we are all going to die of alcohol toxicity.

My eyes feel dirty now.
Meh. Dawkins gets face time, declaring god as likely as fairies and hobgoblins -- what's not to like about that?
Ben Stein is the smugmaster general of smugolia.
Ick!
I saw the ad this weekend. Ironically it was during a program debunking the 9-11 consiracy groups.
