Expel Ben Stein
February 17th, 2008 ecoli“Scientists are supposed to be allowed to follow the evidence wherever it may lead…This attack on scientific freedom was so egregious that it prompted a congressional investigation.” - Ben Stein
Ben Stein is essentially correct in the first part of this quote. Science follows the evidence where it leads. Much to Ben Stein’s chagrin, it doesn’t lead to creationism.
I may be preaching to the choir here, but science has had hundreds of years to model neo-darwinist evolution, and none of the evidence requires a creator in the model. Still, that has not stopped creationists from infiltrating our schools and museums in the attempt to show an “alternative viewpoint.”
The attack actually comes from the creationists, in their attempt to inject religious doctrine into a scientific discipline without any evidence. Since creationists don’t provide a falsifiable model of creationism, it cannot be accepted as science.
