Percy, I'm asking you now. Do you think this is a satire? I still can't tell.

Because there's still a part of me that believes noone is that stupid... at least not any adult anyway. I haven't seen this film yet, but from what I saw in the previews it seems like they're using the same old PRATTs all over again. Obviously not satire, don't know why you're even considering the possibility. I'm trying to see things your way, but I can't put my head that far up my ass.

By your line of reasoning, we should all sit on our fat asses all day and get fatter, considering the fact that the nazis were health freaks. The nazis were also environmental freaks. By your line of reasoning, we all should just completely trash the environment and pollute this planet as much as we can.
Just because an evil person or organization decided to use a symbol or idea to further their evil agendas doesn't mean that the symbol or idea in itself is necessarily evil or that the opposite is necessarily good. Did you know that Hitler was pro-military? By your line of reasoning, we should dismantle our military completely. I'm trying to see things your way, but I can't put my head that far up my ass.

From your link...
quote: Consider the following scenario. We are in a court room where the defense lawyer is questioning the forensic expert. Lawyer: Dr. Langly, are you absolutely 100% certain that the DNA sample you collected belongs to my client? Dr. Langly: No, I am not absolutely 100% certain of that. But I am as certain that the DNA belongs to Mr. Stein (the accused) as I am certain that aliens did not just land right outside this court house. Lawyer: AH HA! Your honor, I would like to disqualify Dr. Langly as an expert on DNA evidence because he is clearly nuts. He just admitted that he believes in aliens. ****************** Do you guys understand what my point is? What Stein did to Dawkins is downright immoral. I hope Stein will burn in the christian hell for breaking at least 1 of his god's commandments. I'm trying to see things your way, but I can't put my head that far up my ass.

Did anyone see that Ben Stein's interview yesterday? I forgot which show. I was watching it while waiting in a hotel lounge.
Stein was ridiculing the very idea of aliens or any other god except for the christian god for being a possible candidate for the designer. His case was that the christian god should be considered to a possibility but when asked about other gods or aliens Stein just hand waved it off and said it was ridiculous to think that an intelligent designer could be aliens or whatnot. The thing that I don't understand is that the ID movement have been trying very hard to not associate themselves (publically at least) to christianity. Wouldn't Stein's obvious bias for the christian god on public television undermine all of this effort? BTW, I think this interview was on fox. Not sure.

He didn't say "christian god" but he implied it. When asked about aliens, he scoffed at the idea. When asked about hindu gods and such, he scoffed at the idea. Then he said that he believed "god" to be the intelligent designer. Seems pretty obvious to me.

Well, then fine he was implying the jewish god. Doesn't really matter. What matters is he was ridiculing possibility of aliens or the gods of other cultures but somehow expected us to believe that the true intelligent designer had to be his god.

Yeah, this wasn't the interview I saw. I was waiting for some people at a hotel when I saw this.

Nope.
ABE Remember that the interview was on Friday. It's probably hasn't been added to youtube yet. Edited by Taz, : No reason given. I'm trying to see things your way, but I can't put my head that far up my ass.

Not what I saw. Again, this interview was last friday, not last year. Just wait. I'm sure someone will add it to youtube later.

No, that's not it. The interview I saw both Stein and that other guy ridiculed the idea that the IDer could have been aliens or the various polytheistic gods (they weren't powerful enough!). But immediately after they ridiculed those things, Stein said that he believed "god" (referring to his own god) to be the designer and the other guy agreed up and down.
I'll post it as soon as I find it on youtube. I think that particular interview was the best demonstration of the judeo-christian agenda for imposing religion into the scientific community and people's everyday life. I'm trying to see things your way, but I can't put my head that far up my ass.
