More from Ben Stein
Love of God and compassion and empathy leads you to a very glorious place. Science leads you to killing people.
Ben SteinBen Stein I don’t really consider myself to be a personal finance expert compared with some others. There are quite a few that know a lot more than I do.
Ben SteinBen Stein Darwinism is still very much alive, utterly dominating biology. Despite the fact that no one has ever been able to prove the creation of a single distinct species by Darwinist means, Darwinism dominates the academy and the media.
Ben SteinBen Stein My feeling is that Darwinism is only at best a partial solution, and an extremely dangerous partial solution.
Ben SteinBen Stein The sad fact is that spending rises every year, no matter what people want or say they want.
Ben SteinBen Stein I don’t like getting pushed around for being a Jew, and I don’t think Christians like getting pushed around for being Christians. I think people who believe in God are sick and tired of getting pushed around, period.
Ben SteinBen Stein I thought that all of the sacrifices and blessings of the whole history of mankind have devolved upon me. Thank you, God.
Ben SteinBen Stein And now, any of those who refuse, or are unable, to prove they are citizens will receive free insurance paid for by those who are forced to buy insurance because they are citizens.
Ben SteinBen Stein People getting rich in a free society in general – with some scammy exceptions, which are rare – makes everyone else richer, too.
Ben SteinBen Stein The American system is the most successful in the world because it harmonizes best with the aims and longings of human personality while allowing the best protection to other personalities.
Ben SteinBen Stein I am a Jew, and every single one of my ancestors was Jewish. And it does not bother me even a little bit when people call those beautiful lit up, bejeweled trees Christmas trees. I don’t feel threatened. I don’t feel discriminated against.
Ben SteinBen Stein I don’t believe the most successful people are the ones who got the best grades, got into the best schools, or made the most money.
Ben SteinBen Stein I did some reading to prep for Expelled. I read one book cover to cover, From Darwin to Hitler , and that was a very interesting book – one of these rare books I wish had been even longer.
Ben SteinBen Stein If there is no God, why bother to tell the truth? Why not steal?
Ben SteinBen Stein Academic freedom is being lost by a great many people who dare to challenge Darwinism. That’s a terrifying situation. That’s contrary to the principles of science.
Ben SteinBen Stein It’s amazing what ordinary people can do if they set out without preconceived notions.
