Or even a scientist? Does he have a PhD? Masters? Or even a BACHELORS in any science field? As of now, intelligent design has not been accepted anywhere in the world. Including the US, where 75% of the population are Christians. There are other nations filled with Christians in Europe as well. Ben Stein must think there's a global conspiracy against ID. Or there's a better explaination Intelligent Design has no proof. Science needs proof. Evolution has yielded applications in understandings of pathogens, immune systems, bacteria, etc. Aside from emotional relief, name a single application ID has bought. A single scientific prediction. A good scientific theory is known for its predictive powers. DNA observations are made all the time using evolutionary theory. So one field is well researched by people, which include Christians, has predictive capabilities, and bought applications. And the other "field" has done nothing. Is Ben Stiller a biologist?

As of now, intelligent design has not been accepted anywhere in the world. Including the US, where 75% of the population are Christians. There are other nations filled with Christians in Europe as well. Ben Stein must think there’s a global conspiracy against ID.

Or there’s a better explaination

Intelligent Design has no proof. Science needs proof.

Evolution has yielded applications in understandings of pathogens, immune systems, bacteria, etc.

Aside from emotional relief, name a single application ID has bought. A single scientific prediction. A good scientific theory is known for its predictive powers. DNA observations are made all the time using evolutionary theory.

So one field is well researched by people, which include Christians, has predictive capabilities, and bought applications.

And the other “field” has done nothing.

Rather like confiscating a pop gun while giving a pass to an AK-47, don't you think?

Which is, of course, a lie.

Ben Stein's political propaganda film will present a rather different side of this question.
