Ben Stein: "science leads you to killing people" - Boing Boing

Stein: When we just saw that man, I think it was Mr. Myers [biologist P.Z. Myers], talking about how great scientists were, I was thinking to myself the last time any of my relatives saw scientists telling them what to do they were telling them to go to the showers to get gassed ... that was horrifying beyond words, and that's where science - in my opinion, this is just an opinion - that's where science leads you.

Crouch: That's right.

Stein: ...Love of God and compassion and empathy leads you to a very glorious place, and science leads you to killing people.

Crouch: Good word, good word.

I honestly don't know how you can take someone seriously when they say ridiculous crap like that. I'm sorry, but whenever people start comparing or equating things to the Nazis, I tune out because they are an idiot. The fact that someone can say loving God and science are mutually exclusive really boggles my mind. Saying science is evil and wrong isn't really helping in the case to try and get the scientific community to take Intelligent Design seriously. Neither is lying and misrepresenting yourself in a documentary where you are trying to do the same. Keep up the great work, Ben.
