...I was thinking to myself the last time any of my relatives saw scientists telling them what to do they were telling them to go to the showers to get gassed … that was horrifying beyond words, and that’s where science — in my opinion, this is just an opinion — that’s where science leads you.

Yah I saw that too that's.. wow...

like if you're gonna pick the worst ppl you can think of that identify with a group, Christians and religious ppl are hardly exempt from having ppl who identified as them who committed horrific acts right?

Srsly... he believes science led to the holocaust? D: And that horrible atrocities is ultimately where science leads? :( Science is a tool, and like all tools it can be used to help or to harm.. but simply b/c ppl can use it to harm doesn't make it evil :(

So did I. I mean he's a former Nixon staffer and conservative, but I didn't think he was actually CRAZY until he decided to save ID from us Wicked Science Folk...

I know. I am so disappointed too.

Someone pointed out he may have to quit mugging for Clear Eyes since they're, y'know, scientific eyedrops that get the red out. Wow.

I too fall into the "really liked Ben Stien and thought he was reasonable sane" bandwagon until now.

Completely Crazy.

This is just one of a number of crazy articles he's been writing over the last few years. I really liked him too, but the comments he's made have been infuriating to say the least.
