Bill Dembski: A Mixture of Water and Vinegar
Wednesday, April 23rd, 2008In the new documentary Win Ben Stein’s Integrity, Stein asks biologist Richard Dawkins if it’s at all possible that intelligent design could be true. Dawkins said that the only way ID could be right is if extraterrestrials, who themselves had evolved via natural selection, had seeded the early Earth with simple organisms.
“Aliens??? ALIENS?????” Stein scoffed. The rubes in the theater I was in cracked the eff up. That silly Richard Dawkins! What a poon!
I, however, turned to my wife and said, “If only these people knew.” The Discovery Institute, always quick to deny that they are creationists, have been forthcoming with the fact that the Designer may have been aliens, and not God. In fact, William Dembski, a Discovery Institute fellow featured prominently in the movie, has this to say about it:
“But consider a related thought experiment. Tomorrow space travelers show up loaded with unbelievably advanced technology. They tell us (in English) that they’ve had this technology for hundreds of millions of years and give us solid evidence of it (perhaps by pointing to some star cluster hundreds of millions of light years away whose arrangement signifies a message that confirms the aliens’ claim). Moreover, they demonstrate to us that with this technology they can atom by atom and molecule by molecule assemble the most complex organisms.”
Aliens??? ALIENS???? Yet again, the makers of Win Ben Stein’s Integrity show themselves to be dishonest douchebags, and the average creationist has shown himself to be an ignorant credulant with an inordinate fear of Google.
