Ben Stein Fails Science Class (Part 1)
This is part 1 of 2 shows criticizing and reviewing the junk science and ad honminem attacks of Ben Stein’s “Expelled. No Intelligence Allowed” documentary film. (No truth allowed!) Reba Boyd Wooden the executive director of The Center for Inquiry- Indiana joins us for these shows.
This show will air Tuesday, May 13 at 10:30 PM on Fort Wayne Access Two which is Comcast channel 57 or Verizon channel 27. All Enlightenment Shows will air weekly on Tuesday nights at 10:30. (We will have the show online here in about a week.) The shows will be aired randomly on Fort Wayne Access One throughout the week.
As always, please do your own research and continue learning. Important links from the show:
Judgement Day ID on Trial. NOVA (Won a Peabody Award!)
Multimedia Production Site from Harvard. (This is the original stunning animation of the inner cell) Enjoy!
We ran out of time to talk about these true suppression of science issues. We will pick up them up on future shows:
Chris Cromer was expelled and the only one in this round of culture wars that actually lost her job. She was forced to resign for forwarding an e-mail on an upcoming lecture on creationism techniques.
Federal Scientists are being suppressed and manipulated by political interference.
