I barely know Ben Stein. In fact, I’ve seen him only a few times, and always on film (well, actually, probably digitally recorded). He seems, however to be a man of great common sense. Ben Stein has become my new hero…
The other night, I watched a film (thank you, Sussex County Public Library), called Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed. I was happy to see Ben Stein suggest Intelligent Design as a possible means to explain creation. Beyond promoting Intelligent Design, Mr. Stein focuses on the need for freedom of thought. Of course, I am in favor of both. Incredibly, many scientists would much rather agree to the theory of cells forming ON chrystals, or worse, that aliens planted us here! If this is what the “intelligencia” of America believes, we are in trouble!
If you have not seen the movie, it might be worth your while to see the trailer. You can see it below:
Now that you have seen the preview, I would urge you to see the complete film. Stein’s documentation of the defamation of scientists open to the Intelligent Design Theory is enlightening. His common-sense approach to science and its conceivable relationship to religion are incredible. His ability to draw Darwinism to its logical conclusion – the creation of a perfect race, not unlike what Hitler did in Nazi Germany, is shocking.
Seeing that America has just elected a president who is more pro-abortion than even Bill Clinton was, I am preoccupied about where we are heading. Does the average American think it is better to kill off the unborn who are not “fit” for survival? In our search to be pragmatic, to make sense and have things work, we have forgotten this: Life comes from God. It is a gift. More than being priced or valued, life is to be cherished.
As Mother Theresa of Calcutta said,
It is a poverty to decide that a child must die so that you may live as you wish.
