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.

Anyone who thinks that Ben Stein is an incisive analyst of human history after this quote? Anyone? Anyone?

*according to the Anti-Defamation League, the movie's attempts to use the Holocaust to attack science is "outrageous" and a "misappropriation".

- Who is John Galt? -
