You mean the part where, as in all of this kind of "documentary", only a small part of the Dawkins interview is shown, with Ben Stein interjecting comments after the fact?


Actually it's not a documentary at all. It is heavily edited so only the opinion of the writer and director is shown. All others are made to look foolish by post-production flim-flam.


Not really. While there are always people who jump on any bandwagon and adhere to it zealously, that applies to maybe 5% of the people who claim to believe in science. It only seems that way to those who want to believe that it is that way.
Although I only mentioned my favorite part of the documentary, I was speaking of the movie as a "whole", including the interviews with other scientists, science journalists and former university professors. All whom have been blackballed by the scientific community simply due to their "willingness" to concede there is evidence of "intelligent design".
I wasn't talking about God nor have I ridiculed anyone with my post.
It's interesting to see the passion with which I am confronted, simply because I posted a documentary that I liked, in what appeared to be an appropriate thread for such. I found the documentary to be extremely interesting, compelling, and thought others might find it interesting too, but instead, I am confronted with ridicule.
Very interesting indeed.

Christ told parables, so did many of the OT writers. It's clear that many tales of lore were passed down and numerous groups gave them their personal spin. It's not so much the story be true, but what truth is being taught in the story. If people want to believe the earth is 10,000 years old or Noah's flood was a literal event, fine with me. I look more to what stories are teaching.

Do they make fun of other members' posts in these religious forums too?
I don't debate religion. That's for the hearer to believe or disbelieve as they choose. I won't treat them contemptuously because they choose to believe something different.

Consider this...

Perhaps God created evolution. Perhaps a monotheistic deity would have no concept of time to the point of considering a day to equal a million years or more on this planet. We just don't know for sure.
Science looks at everything in black and white and requires proof.
Religion looks at only one thing, The Bible, as proof and the rest is faith.
Bashing either view is just a sign of insecurity on the part of the basher.

Either side could be wrong. But, I'm sure we'll find out soon enough.

Then we can all bash all the folks with the egg on their faces Or the chicken, depending on which camp you pitched your tent in.

@WernherVonTrapp

People just simply pointed out that the documentary shouldnt be taken very seriously. Perhaps not in the most kindest manner possible, but I dont see anything
to be so upset about.

Why not?
It is a fascinating subject which has been debated from all corners for thousands of years.

I think I see a problem you may have understanding with your "documentary".
All whom have been blackballed by the scientific community simply due to their "willingness" to concede there is evidence of "intelligent design".
What evidence?

That's because it's not about anything you hold dear to you. It's easier to excuse rudeness when it's directed toward someone else, especially if to some degree you share the criticisms that drive it.

Since this is the 'Net I can now formally declare that Santa did it and that is the evidence which I find compelling and irrefutable.

Yeah, I understand that, but I still don't see why he got so worked up.

Links or it ain't true.
Just your opinion for now.

I have it on good source Santa was a Saint.
Until he crossed into Enemy Air Space anyway.
Damned Drones!
