Does that ever hit a home run against clowns like Brum?! ..... This pseudo-intellectual David Berlinksi is not aging well, but that comes from wasting his talents being a poseur anti-evolutionist, playing devil's advocate strictly for profit. Those two videos i just posted included the leading minds pro & con, saw his weak arguments fall on their faces, not only completely rebuffed but also found himself exposed, embarrassedly outclassed. I thought this little overheard story after a debate with Krauss, exactly as i summed him up, and only after three viewings of the guy, he's completely in it for the money. Apropos of Berlinski’s sincerity, I assume you’re aware of this quote from a blog (“ Goosing the Antithesis“) that was linked from RD.net in November 2008. Zachary Moore attended an event at which both Lawrence Krauss and David Berlinski spoke, and he relates the following learned from someone who mingled with the speakers during a break: (meme) edthemanicstreetpreacher.wordpress.com Upon drawing close, he heard Krauss ask Berlinski why he wasted his intellect advocating for intelligent design. To which Berlinski replied that he doesn’t believe a word of it, but is happy to cash the checks the Discovery Institute writes him. Strangely enough, this would be consistent with Berlinski’s odd statement early on in which he admitted that his own ethical orientation was focused on living as contentedly and as selfishly as possible.

Six Things in Expelled That Ben Stein Doesn't Want You to Know... scientificamerican.com You know, never even bothered till today to even view Stein's little propaganda film, so deliberate in its dishonesty, now we see the full exposed lie Stein tried to put over, that of scientists being martyred by that community for suggesting ID. The one example of this made so important to his cause, is shown to be a complete fraudulant claim, the fellow was expelled for circumnavigating the peer perview process, it was all faked by Stein. This young scientist succinctly takes Ben Steins work apart, piece by piece, i certainly have little use for Stein, this is the end of him, only watched 1min of the film, it was that filled with that much duplicity.
