I'd like to thank Ben Stein for making this movie. I completely agree with the comments in the movie that each of our world views drives our scientific perspective. It doesn't matter which 'side of the fence' you sit on. I've heard some scientists say that observing nature caused them to see a 'creator' behind the creation, thereby causing a change in perspective. I've also heard it the other way around. The main thing is that any theory as to the origin of life requires a measure of faith. Ben is simply asking that we leave the doors open for scientists to look at all options. I don't care what his personal beliefs are, or whether everyone likes the package he put it in. His techniques are far less deceptive than the likes of Michael Moore. However I do think he made a damn fine documentary here. To the nay-sayers, I would say that Stein is not trying to make the case for I.D. -that would be a different movie altogether. I completely enjoyed it and was reminded how important it is to realize the value of each and every life. Let's not beat down every idea on the simple premise of its owner's ideology. Bullying gets us nowhere as a civilization.
