Some of you have an extreme hatred of religion.

It's not religion that I hate. It's dogma.


So you hate Neo-Darwinism?


Please define.

^ Nice dodge. Now define Neo-Darwinism.

I don't get Comdey Central and the History Channel like the majority of Americans. Michael Moore has a long list of documentaries , which people know him from. This was Ben Stiens first documentary. Political documentaries and cute animal documentaries are always going to have more viewer than science documentaries.

 


 People know Ben Stein from Ferris Bueller's Day Off.. he also used to have a game show and wrote speeches for Nixon. He is well known... even An Inconvenient lie did better and it was a science documentary.

Neo-Darwinism is the belief that all organisms we see are descened from a single common ancestor in the distant past and that an unguided process of natural selection has the power to produce fundamentally new forms of life through random mutations.

 Neo-Darwinism is actually just the theory of evolution without any Lamarckian evolution. Its not a dogma, its a tested scientific theory. A dogma is something that can never be disputed, evolution or any other scientific theory can be disputed but only if factually disproven or by another contradictory scientific theory also of merit.

 Asking me whether I hate that is like asking me whether I hate the theory of relativity.



This movie is about Neo-Darwinism not being allowed to be questioned in the educational community.



I've just lost a bunch of respect for this Ben Stein for making this lousy "documentary."

So they are making an argument about people making a dogma that involves Neo-Darwinism, not that Neo-Darwinism is itself dogma. 

Assuming for the sake of argument that PC FPS controls are inherently far superior to thumbstick controls, it is not dogma to believe that PC FPSes control better than FPSes on those consoles, whereas it would be dogmatic for PC fans to claim that PC always is, was, and will be the superior FPS platform, since other consoles may have better controls than thumbstick-based (such as the Wii) and equal to or perhaps better than the PC (not necessarily now but someday).
