Ben Stein has made a movie decrying "big science's" oppression of the "smart new idea" of intelligent design. Unfortunately, he isn't trying to be a comedian this time.

Folks, if you're going to float a theory that a big man in the sky made it happen, here is the test I will apply to your arguments. I will substitute the phrase "my hairdryer" for the phrase "the big man in the sky". If the evidence supports the fact that my hairdryer may have created the universe, I will listen. If it doesn't, you need to get over your fascination with the imaginary sky man.

I want to point out the "no intelligence allowed" tagline is extremely ironic.

It's a reference to the "Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster"

He was "discovered" to fill the same role as your hairdryer.

Whee! I was trying to explain FSM to E the other night, without directly saying "I don't believe in God and creationists can shove it." I don't want to get her in trouble with her religiously brainwashed classmates, but at the same time, I don't want her to be brainwashed too...
