HISTORY
or, why ben stein is wrong about history
and science

2. LEE DUIGON
“Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution is the
philosophical basis of anti-Christian culture. It
is the source of all the rot—runaway statism,
institutionalized atheism, eugenics, ‘gay pride’
parades, ‘transgender’ restrooms, the
destruction of ‘inferior races,’ and all the rest.
If it stinks, Darwinism is at the root of it.”

11. EXPELLED
What are the consequences over time of teaching this one-
sided worldview as if it were fact rather than theory?
How will ideas of morality change, if life is thought to be
purposeless and undirected?
How will the role of Government change, if the individual is
taught by The State that one is accountable only to ones self?
How will the role of “science” change, if “Big Science” alone
determines our worldview?

12. “Big science has expelled smart ideas from
the classroom … What they forgot is that
every generation has its Rebel!! That rebel,
Ben Stein, travels the world on his quest, and
learns an awe-inspiring truth … that
educators and scientists and being ridiculed,
denied tenure, and even fired – for merely
believing that there might be evidence for
‘design’ in nature. Perhaps life is not just the
result of accidental, random chance. In the
film Ben says ‘Enough’ – And NOBODY
messes with Ben.”

20. ORTHODOXY
“If they are Darwinists and they owe their jobs
to being Darwinists, they are not going to
challenge the orthodoxy because that would
challenge the whole basis of their jobs and
their lives. So they are not going to challenge
the ideology that has given them lush positions
in real life.”

21. PROGRESS
“And there hasn’t been much progress in
Darwinism since [the life of Darwin]”

22. A THEORY OF
EVERYTHING
“Darwinism explains so little. It doesn’t explain
how life began. It doesn’t explain how gravity
works to keep the planets in their orbits. It
doesn’t explain how thermodynamics works. It
doesn’t explain how physics or the laws of
motion work.”

23. SCIENCE
“Love of God and compassion and empathy
leads you to a very glorious place, and science
leads you to killing people.”

24. MORALITY
“Anyway, I don’t give a [profanity] whether a
person calls himself a scientist. It doesn’t earn
any extra respect from me, because it’s not as
if science had covered itself with glory, morally,
in my time. Scientists were the people in
Germany telling Hitler that it was a good idea
to kill all the Jews.”

25. CHEAP SHOT
Anyway, I don’t give a [profanity] whether a
person calls himself a Christian. It doesn’t earn
any extra respect from me, because it’s not as
if Christianity had covered itself with glory,
morally, in my time. Christians were the people
in Germany telling Hitler that it was a good
idea to kill all the Jews.”

26. HOLOCAUST
“If you’re a purely materialistic naturalist you
would have no objection [to the Holocaust]
because no human life has any meaning.”
“Darwinism led – in a pretty much straight line
– to Nazism and the Holocaust.”

69. QUOTING DARWIN
“With savages, the weak in body or mind are
soon eliminated. We civilized men, on the other
hand, do our utmost to check the process of
elimination. We build asylums for the imbecile,
the maimed and the sick. Thus the weak
members of civilized societies propagate their
kind. No one who has attended to the breeding
of domestic animals will doubt that this must be
highly injurious to the race of man. Hardly
anyone is so ignorant as to allow his worst
animals to breed.”

70. WHAT DARWIN WROTE ...
With savages, the weak in body or mind are soon eliminated; and those that
survive commonly exhibit a vigorous state of health. We civilized men, on the
other hand, do our utmost to check the process of elimination. We build
asylums for the imbecile, the maimed and the sick; we institute poor-laws; and
our medical men exert their utmost skill to save the life of every one to the
last moment. There is reason to believe that vaccination has preserved
thousands, who from a weak constitution would formerly have succumbed to
small-pox. Thus the weak members of civilized societies propagate their kind.
No one who has attended to the breeding of domestic animals will doubt
that this must be highly injurious to the race of man. It is surprising how soon
a want of care, or care wrongly directed, leads to the degeneration of a
domestic race; but excepting in the case of man himself, hardly anyone is so
ignorant as to allow his worst animals to breed.

71. CONTINUING ...
The aid which we feel impelled to give to the helpless is mainly an
incidental result of the instinct of sympathy, which was originally acquired
as part of the social instincts, but subsequently rendered, in the manner
previously indicated, more tender and more widely diffused. Nor could
we check our sympathy, even at the urging of hard reason, without
deterioration in the noblest part of our nature. The surgeon may harden
himself whilst performing an operation, for he knows that he is acting for
the good of his patient; but if we were intentionally to neglect the weak
and helpless, it could only be for a contingent benefit, with an
overwhelming present evil. Hence we must bear without complaining
the undoubtedly bad effects of the weak surviving and propagating their
kind.

73. DATA POINTS
Hitler’s view of nature actually
mirrors creationist claims regarding
speciation & hybridization
In 1935 the Nazi’s banned (and
burned) “[w]ritings of a philosophical
and social nature whose content
deals with the false scientific
enlightenment of primitive
Darwinism and Monism (Häckel)”

75. The Useful Lie
"What harm would it do, if a man
told a good strong lie for the sake
of the good and for the Christian
church [...]a lie out of necessity, a
useful lie, a helpful lie, such lies
would not be against God, he
would accept them."
Martin Luther cited by his secretary, in a letter in
Max Lenz, ed., "Briefwechsel Landgraf Phillips des
Grossmüthigen von Hessen mit Bucer", vol. I

76. “Hence today I believe that I am
acting in accordance with the will of
the Almighty Creator: by defending
myself against the Jew, I am fighting
for the work of the Lord.” (MK)

77. SPARTA
“Sparta must be regarded as the first Völkisch State. The
exposure of the sick, weak, deformed children, in short, their
destruction, was more decent and in truth a thousand times
more humane than the wretched insanity of our day which
preserves the most pathological subject, and indeed at any
price, and yet takes the life of a hundred thousand healthy
children in consequence of birth control or through
abortions, in order subsequently to breed a race of
degenerates burdened with illnesses.”

84. WHO SAID IT?
“Jews are not pioneers. They do not go conquering the wild
world or overpowering the hazards of nature. They settle
among other civilisations, preferably among the rich. They tend
to migrate from poorer to richer lands. They do so always as a
group, immediately forming their own separate community.”

85. WHO SAID IT?
“[L]iving in agreement with the letter of the law but
dishonestly, derives from the pharisaic attachment to rules but
not to ethics. The exploitation of rules, of imprecisely written
laws, of gaps in them, of their multitude and inconsistencies,
activities on the verge of legality, tax evasion techniques, all
formally within the law but unethical, derive from the
rabbinical casuistry, from the mentality of deriving ethics from
the written law. Yet, such a swindler, acting within the law, has in
fact no moral respect for any law.”

86. WHO SAID IT?
“The presence of such people
in European politics as Franco
guaranteed the maintenance of
traditional values in Europe
and we lack such statesmen
today. Christian Europe is
losing against atheistic socialists
today and this has to change.”

89. ANTI-DEFAMATION LEAGUE
The film Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed misappropriates the
Holocaust and its imagery as a part of its political effort to discredit
the scientific community which rejects so-called intelligent design
theory.
Hitler did not need Darwin to devise his heinous plan to exterminate
the Jewish people and Darwin and evolutionary theory cannot explain
Hitler's genocidal madness.
Using the Holocaust in order to tarnish those who promote the
theory of evolution is outrageous and trivializes the complex factors
that led to the mass extermination of European Jewry.

90. GEORGE BERNARD SHAW
“Darwin had the luck to please
everybody with an axe to grind.”
Back to Methuselah 1921

establishment lose

and power
