LOL! I wish I had thought of dressing up like Ben Stein!
:)

I saw the movie twice. My favorite is Dr. David Berlinksi, a mathemtician Ben interviews. He's so cool ...
 
I love him ... he's my new hero ... he does look like a vampire, but I find that quite attractive in an intelligent person ...

Hoo-ha, Berlinski looked totally put together in the film -- loved his suit and tie. Ben Stein looks like a goof in those brown shoes. He's an intelligent person with no fashion sense, for sure.

Oh please. You must be intelligent too, if you don't see Mr. Stein's unique fashion sense. I'm afraid you just don't understand. ;)

You are correct ... his unique fashion sense escapes me. But I do find him to be quite a smartie, and highly amusing. That's enough for me. :)
 
It was awful! And the responses of the curator who was showing him around, when he asked what she thought of what had happened ... it was a bit chilling, especially when ou encounter people who actually say Hitler didn't go far enough in his plans. It's very scary!

When he asked her whether she didn't think maybe the sane ones were the victims and the insane ones the doctors whow were slaughtering them, she said no, the doctors werent insance because they had a purpose, they were clearing away mankind's refuse to build a better people ... Yikes!

But if you think about it, if you force yourself to believe there is no God, then no one is made in His image, so no one has any particular right to life except the ones chosen by natural selection: survival of the fittest. So in a weird way, Hitler wasn't crazy: he was merely following what he thought to be the law of nature, the law that only the strong should survive. He decided the Aryan ideal was what nature had chosen for survival, and that we had interfered with that by protecting the weak and flawed.

Everyone who gives a bad review to the movie invariably says Ben goes to far in linking Nazism and Darwinism, but I can see the link is there, just as (the dear and incorrigible) Dr. Berlinski said: Darwinism doesn't make Nazism, but Darwinism is necessary for Nazism, foundational to it.

Scary stuff.
 
I LOVE THE MOVIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My parents and I went to see a couple weeks ago on a sunday afternoon. They kept trying to fall asleep (not on purpose of course but they were really tired) but I was like WHOA THAT'S SOOOO TRUE!!!! Anyways I hope the movie will wake someone up from their daydreams to the truth of the matter.
 
Yah, I thought the idea of preserving places like that and Auschwitz was so that people would never forget the horror of it, and would understand the profound evil of it ... She seemed like, oh well, those guys were doing the best they could based on their philosophy. Yikes.
 
Yes it was SWEET! I had heard the Hitler believed in evolition and stuff but wow if you think about it it is the reason for all the killing! He was "cleaning up" the social world in his mind! Did you also know that at that point they were proforming abortions and euthiasa under his rule? And today Germany is one of the few countries that won't pass laws to allow abortion to be legalized!!! We might should read our history books more carefully because I'm starting to see a trend.... :eek:

At one point, a scientist who had been censored was saying how no one in the science establishment today is allowed to speak about God, and then the movie cuts to a scene from the old "Planet of the Apes" movie where one of the mean apes is spraying a caged Chartlon Heston with a fire hose and hollering at him, "Shut up, you freak!" It catches you off-guard, and you can't help laughing.

lol that was my favorite part :D

I loved it. It was really well done. The interview with Richard Dawkins at the end was great. I couldn't help laughing because Dawkins has him phrase the question a certain way and then says no one can really know the answer for sure.

Overall... it makes you wonder...
 
I liked the interview with Dawkins because Ben was so deadpan and serious when he kept asking inane questions ... "So you don't believe in God at all? You don't believe in any of the Hindu gods? You don't believe in the CHristian God or the Muslim God? ... just want to make sure ..."
 
I really enjoyed the movie. However, it was quite confusing at multiple times. In my mind it's one of those movies that you see first and just get the concept of it and see it a second time to really understand it. I thought the parts with the Nazi stuff was creepy, yet intresting.I guess it's because I'm a history nerd.

I know what you mean. Dad wants to buy the DVD and watch it again sometime so we can 'fully appreciate it'. :) The Nazi stuff was interesting, but so sad. :( One of my favorite parts was the animation of the cell. That was incredible!
