What Ben Stein is confronting is the dishonesty of those who would suppress the exploration/investigation of the intelligent design theory of origins under the guise of protecting scientific credibility.<BR/><BR/>The tension between worldview & data is one that people in all fields have to wrestle with.

I always enjoy calling out the intellectually dishonest, or any other type of dishonesty for that matter. <BR/><BR/>I think we all allow our worldviews to influence our perspectives on just about everything. It's hard to avoid, because, after all, that's what worldviews do.

But if you tout one point of view here people from the opposing point of view will more likely respond.
