BEN STEIN -
Neo-Darwinists ask us to believe in things not seen. We’re not supposed to have an established religion in America, but we do, and it’s called Darwinism .
BEN STEIN -
You must take the first step. The first steps will take some effort, maybe pain. But after that, everything that has to be done is real-life movement.
BEN STEIN -
My feeling is that Darwinism is only at best a partial solution, and an extremely dangerous partial solution.
BEN STEIN -
I agree that there are some bad apples on Wall Street. I spent about ten years exposing corporate and financial fraud for ‘Barron’s’ magazine and I found a lot to write about.
